There was only one time serving with a Muslim made us nervous. We were on ship heading to the gulf in 2003 for obvious reasons. The Marine all of a sudden became a conscious objector and refused to fight his own people. He was acting very strange and separated at that time. No one was even thinking about him being Muslim until he started acting funny. We can't start pointing fingers at a single religion. Next thing you know we will have detention centers like we did in WW2 for Americans who happened to be Japanese decent.

I did not consider the religion of anyone I served with to be an issue. I don't remember even knowing what religion my fellow workers were unless they made a point of it. If someone tried to make it an issue I would dismiss it.

Shouldn't be an issue. An important issue is that if you see that individual is expressing extremist, anti American or Anti- Military Rhetoric you shouldnt be afraid to approach your command, this can be from any type of group. Racists and Anarchists should be reported as well when they start making threats.

I don't think any muslim soldier would have an issue working with another muslim soldier. One could ask if a non-muslim soldier might have a problem working with a soldier who was a muslim, but that's another issue.

Back to an earlier religious debate, it does not matter. There is a time and a place for faith and do not espouse Christian teachings and thought at work nor should anyone else.
