A Muslim U. S. soldier, who requested conscientious objector status because he said Sharia forbade him from going to Afghanistan to kill other Muslims on behalf of "infidels" (that, as Andy McCarthy says, would be us), stands now accused of possession of child pornography on his government issued computer. He cannot be discharged until the child porn charges are adjudicated, and he's not happy - in fact, he's been implying he was framed.
According to HOOAHcampbell.com: "The military began investigating Abdo in November of 2010. They charged him on May 15, 2011, two days after he was approved by the Secretary of the Army as a conscientious objector."
One might ask how this guy became a soldier in OUR Army in the first place, but such a question would offend many of our brethren on the Left- even many of the higher ranking folks in OUR Army.
Putting aside the child porn charges for a minute, check out the below linked piece by Andy McCarthy, writing at National Review Online on Saturday. McCarthy is not only exercised over the decision to grant C.O. status to the Ft. Campbell soldier, he is also calling into question our entire counterinsurgency (COIN) strategy in Afghanistan.
"Turns out that the U.S. government has embraced a core tenet of sharia — that archaic corpus of Islamic law that Mitt Romney recently assured us would never gain traction in America. Patrick Poole reported at Pajamas Media on Tuesday that the secretary of the army has just granted “conscientious objector” status to Pfc. Nasser Abdo, a Muslim American soldier who refused to deploy to Afghanistan. Heeding the admonitions of CAIR and other Muslim Brotherhood operatives, the Pentagon accepts the claim that sharia forbids Muslims from assisting infidels in a war against Muslim forces in an Islamic land.
"News Flash One: The war in Afghanistan, an Islamic land, is a war waged by infidels (that would be us) against Muslim forces — the Taliban, al-Qaeda, the Haqqani network, etc.
News Flash Two: The operating theory of the American counterinsurgency (COIN) strategy in Afghanistan is that the hearts and minds of the population of this tribal sharia society will side with us non-Muslims in a war against their fellow Muslims, most of whom are also their fellow Afghans.
"Which is to say, our strategy is insane."
