| Message | Since we require every person upon adulthood to serve in the military or other government, we're denying ourselves both soldiers, and the increased comradery that comes with serving with your fellow countrymen. This Bill will not only mkae us a stronger nation, but it can help heal the wounds that years of segregation caused. |

| Message | Muslims dont pledge loyalty to nations, they pledge loyalty to god and their muslim brothers. Islam is opposed to borders and wants a world of Islam, by permitting Muslims to join the army you are putting national security and lives at risk. Whats more important muslims in the army or the lives of the soldiers and our citizens? |

| Message | Innocent until proven guilty. At most %10 of Islam is has radical views, and of that %10, an immensly small number is willing to do anything about it. We have not yet had a problem in the 5 Kingdoms and until we do have one, we need to adhere to our principles. I understand that you are adhereing to your's and i respect that but until we have a problem with radical Islam, we must all do what we think is right. |

| Message | So we wait untill they are killing our people and our soldiers, should we wait untill people have disease and cancer before we start trying to stop it and prevent it? No we dont, ISlam is a cancer to our nation and we must prevent it from getting a foothold. A minority may only carry out radical acts, but the vast majority of muslims support the radicals in their aims. |

| Message | No... no they don't. they really don't. That's the %10. %10 of muslims are radical/ support radicals. And yes, we wait until disease and cancers start killing people before we find a cure. You need a disease BEFORE you have a cure. By definition, A cure is a response. Let me help you with you analogy: "So we wait until the insects are chewing on our rose bushes before we spray as opposed to using an insect repellent and keeping them away?" We do when they're people and the overwhelming majority will not only not touch our roses but help them grow. |
