Your realize the majority of Muslims in the US are pretty moderate right? They aren't the hard core ones you see in insurgent groups.

I wasn't thinking hardcore, but the more traditionalist. You remember several christian groups do not allow women in the pulpit even now. Any it's not small groups either.

I support her endeavors and feel this is what we need to do as a country while at the same time do not feel it will be correct to make male Muslims use her for their spiritual needs. This would be a good one for the Chief of Chaplins to seek guidance from an Islamic Cleric.

MAJ Byron Oyler - I've met Muslim soldiers in the Army...I didn't even know they are until they told me.

When the choice is made to accommodate religion in the military, this is to be expected.
