I served with a Muslim while in the service, he was my first encounter with a Muslim, he followed the teachings of Malcom X. I never questioned anything about his beliefs and this was during the time of the rise of the Black Power Movement back in the States, and he in turn never brought any discredit to his faith, he followed orders and fought along side all of us, I never saw him doing any of the prayer obligations that many Muslims adhere to, although he may have done this in private , he was a good soldier, I never heard him talk down on anyone and he was always in the first group to help anyone, when I came home and saw what the Black Power Movement and the Black Muslims were about , I couldn't believe that this was the faith of the man that I knew, he survived the war , as far as I know, but there were and are many different cultures represented in the Armed Services and the vast majority serve honorably and with distinction, but like anything else there are some bad eggs, this gentlemen was not one of them.
