"How many 'Muslim time bombs' are there in the United States military?"

forgotten IF by sehroiber.

Moorthy Muthuswamy, nuclear physicist and author of the excellent book Defeating Political Islam via Diana West gives us the potential number:

Based on the above analysis, about 1,500 Muslim men out of 3,500 Muslim soldiers are likely to identify with radical ideologies. This select group is put in the difficult spot of having to choose between fighting the fellow believers they have a soft spot for and fighting for America.

A wealth of data accumulated over the past decade on the Muslims involved in terror plots points to a common theme: almost invariably they were all mosque-going Muslim men.

A recent report released by the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) claims that 76% of the Muslim men in America are mosque-going.

An April 2001 survey by CAIR found 69% of Muslims in America saying it is “absolutely fundamental” or “very important” to have Salafi (similar to radical Wahhabi Islamic ideology) teachings at their mosques (67% of respondents also expressed agreement with the statement “America is an immoral, corrupt society”). There was another poll conducted in Detroit area mosques in 2003. In this poll, 81% of the respondents endorsed the application of the medieval sharia in Muslim-majority lands.

It appears that about 70% of the mosque-going American Muslim men identify with radical ideologies. Marrying this data with 76% of the men who attend mosques, about 54% of the American Muslim men are seen to identify with radical ideologies.

There are about 3,500 Muslims serving in the United States armed forces. Profile of Muslims who choose to serve in the all-volunteer American military is not known. The overall female-to-male ratio in American military is about 15%.

Based on the above analysis, about 1,500 Muslim men out of 3,500 Muslim soldiers are likely to identify with radical ideologies. This select group is put in the difficult spot of having to choose between fighting the fellow believers they have a soft spot for and fighting for America.

This notable conundrum has the potential for creating many more Nidal Malik Hasans out of the 1,500 or so vulnerable Muslim American men soldiers.
