Religious Diversity in the Military a Casualty, Too?

Monday, November 09, 2009

When Major Nidal Malik Hasan was identified as the alleged shooter in the Fort Hood killings, some American Muslims immediately feared a backlash. Army Chief of Staff George W. Casey told NBC's Meet the Press on Sunday that he does not want diversity to become another casualty of the events at Fort Hood. For a look at what some American Muslim servicemen and women are feeling, we turn to Jamal Baadani, first sergeant in the U.S. Marine Corps and founder of the Association of Patriotic Arab Americans in the Military. For further analysis of last week's Fort Hood shootings, we turn to John Allen Williams, professor of political science at Loyola University, in Chicago.
