Should Muslims Be Allowed To Serve in the US Military?

[Navy Pride]

I'm sincerely curious about this poll. No doubt that there is a serious prejudice in this country against Muslims, American Muslims. There have been many threads here where many forum members wrote the most racist stuff you can imagine about other Americans...sickening but real.

So this thread and it's poll are designed to allow people to express their true feelings and to do so in a way that is basically anonymous and that allows their prejudices to be expressed. Chances are that they will enjoy expressing their racism and chances are that people like me will be sociologically interested in observing that sort of behavior.

Judging by the results of the poll you are wrong. 16-1.....What else is new?:roll:

Would you suggest we make it only possible for white Christian conservative males to join the military? That way solider is uneasy about ignorant stereotypes?

A stupid question.........What else is new?:roll:

This poll is gay.

Its meaningless and a waste of time.......

Another unnecessary remark. Should have just kept that one to yourself, and moved along. :2wave:

Gee, here's a novel idea....how 'bout you all actually discuss the topic here, which, in case you missed it, is "Should Muslims be allowed to serve in the U.S. Military?", NOT, "this thread is gay/meaningless/waste of time", etc.

If you think the thread is stupid, or a waste of time, then why are you spending time posting here? Don't like it? Move along.

Trying to derail threads with comments such as these isn't going to fly anymore. Keep it on topic, or don't bother posting. Simple as that.

Another ridiculous conclusion....par for the course...There is no right or wrong regarding whether America is a racist nation per this poll...it's just a poll of people here.

I also believe that if the poll were not public and people could vote anonymously the results would be different...peer pressure...maybe even your vote would be different Navy Pride; it would not surprise me in the least. Actually your "yes" vote did surprise me since so often your posts are so anti-Muslim and so filled with hate...will wonders ever cease?

In point of fact this is the first day I've had off from both work and school in quite some time and I'm board out of my scull. The wife's asleep sick and kids are off playing on their own, so yeah, I guess it takes one to know one :2wave:

Trying to parade this thread as anything valuable is just crackers.

"Should Muslims Be Allowed To Serve in the US Military?" is just a variant of "Should Gays Be Allowed To Serve in the US Military", only there's no "don't ask, don't tell" policy for Muslims, nor any related issue like a Muslim 'marriage or Muslim-pride parades or similar, so I made an ironic quip of "this thread is gay" in light of the fact that it's just a gay-thread variant with so obvious a no-duh answer.

Disruptive? Trolling? Please.
I have to put up with far more crap than the occasional 4 worded post in my average day here so I don't know why your making any of this an issue. If you don't like what I have to say, fine, that's your opinion, but don't start in on me insinuating that I'm trolling or what not, because to do so is to become guilty of what you wrongly accuse me of.

Good heavens, Jer. Come start a thread in the basement or in off-topics, if you're that bored. Come tell us your life story, which sounds really weird and convoluted, from the scraps of info you've dropped here and there.

But don't hang around derailing other people's threads; some people might seriously wish to discuss this issue.
I know from experience that it's VERY frustrating when you start a thread in all seriousness, and then somebody comes along and deliberately ruins it by trolling, and causes it to be relegated to the basement, or locked and archived.
It's very inconsiderate to do that.
Come start your own thread.

See what I mean, Caption?

You wana issue a mod warning issue it over that, not over someone giving their opinion about a thread.

At least what I had to say was about the contents of the thread.

No, no... I meant it would make a good story.
A life story that isn't weird and convoluted is boring to read about.
Come start a new thread.

I guess you'll have to read about his life story when he returns from his little vacation. :rofl

Aww...
I don't really want to read it anyway. I was just diplomatically attempting to lure him away. Most people can't resist an invitation to talk about themselves.

Anyhow, carry on.

I put other becuase I just don't know. On the one hand I realize that muslims are not all terrorists and many love this country. I will go on the record as saying I have muslim friends who are great people, our only real difference is the way we worship. Here is where it gets murky, terrorists have exploited our philosophies of freedom and personal liberty for the purpose of sneak attacks which have yielded catastrophic results, I have no problem with anyone wanting to serve and defend this great nation of ours, but would hate to see our brave men and women suffer an internal attack if one of the extremists slipped through the cracks and enlisted. Honestly, I would say yes absolutely if we could be sure the reasons were of benefit but am on the fence under current circumstances.

You need to reread what I wrote...The poll I created was a public poll and therefore everyone's vote is visible meaning that people, maybe you for example, are too embarrassed to vote what you believe...

Then why on Earth are you bothering to read this thread no less writing posts that are disruptive and have nothing to do with the topic? As far as I can tell your posts are problem posts and not contributing anything at all to the debate...

If you think it's a bad thread stop doing everything you can to ruin it! Act like a man and walk away your whining is....
