Yes, some have spoken up. But my point is not that many, nor anywhere near as many as needed.

Yes, there are many good Muslims in the US military and especially needed with translations/linguists etc. For example (one of many) our success against the Taliban in Oct 2001 (CIA/SOF) would not have been possible without their help.

But, listen carefully .... I am not saying all Muslims are "bad." I am saying that, in general, the basic tenets of Islam are significantly more inclined towards violence than any other major contemporary religion.

In addition, given that radicals in any organization often tend to crowed out the "middle of the roaders" that significant immigration levels of Muslims will inevitably increase the problem. Do you really disagree with that?
