It's disappointing that you say this, especially considering that intolerance is much of the reason we're currently fighting terrorism in much of the middle east. Are you really in favor of excluding certain people based on their religious beliefs, country of origin, or any other reason?

The people who tend to commit acts of terrorism, which this particular scenario doesn't yet seem to be proven one, more often than not are extremists. They are violently intolerant of anything other than their own views on [insert anything here]. The same extreme intolerance appears in this thread, and especially in this comment....I really hope that no one on 'Style is a bigot in this day and age.

When that's the exact group of people we're fighting then yes I do believe they should be excluded; if not its just a giant conflict of interest. Call me what you will, but enlisting a practicing muslim to fight other muslims, especially when its for the "white Christians," just doesn't make sense.
