A soldier that has been AWOL from here at Ft Campbell was caught outside of Ft Hood with weapons and admitted that he had planned another attack similar to another attack that took place at Ft Hood.
My question is this; Should the Army put Muslims soldiers under investigation? Should they be taken out of Combat Arms units? I had a teammate that went to Somalia with me who converted to Islam. He was never a problem, but it seems quite a few of them are.
Should the Army do something about the increase in violence by converted Muslim soldiers?
I'm not saying I'm for or against it. I'm just asking members what their opinions are.

KILLEEN, Texas (AP) An AWOL soldier who had weapons stashed in a motel room near Fort Hood has admitted to planning an attack on the Texas post, where 13 people died in 2009 in the worst mass shooting ever on a U.S. military installation, the Army said in an alert issued Thursday.
Pfc. Naser Abdo, a 21-year-old soldier who was granted conscientious objector status this year after he said his Muslim beliefs prevented him from fighting, was arrested Wednesday. Agents found firearms and "items that could be identified as bomb-making components, including gunpowder," in his motel room, according to FBI spokesman Erik Vasys.
