Tennessee State Rep. Rick Womick says no Muslims should be in U.S. military
Rick Womick
Who are we at war with? We are at war with Al-Qaida and the Taliban, who are Muslims. It's a Catch-22. They are not allowed to kill their fellow Muslims; we're at war with Muslims. The only solution I see is that they not be allowed in the military. Personally, I don't trust one Muslim in our military. If they truly are a devout Muslim and follow the Quran and the Sunnah, then I feel threatened because they're commanded to kill me.
