Soldier Arrested in Suspected Bomb Plot Had Series of Disputes With Army
Reporters tried to contact Private Abdo mother in a rental home but no one was home on Friday. She must be so proud of her son.
Abdos brigade was deployed to Afghanistan in February 2010. The other trainees in the First Brigade Combat Team of the 101st Airborne Division went off to do their duty while Abdo stayed behind.
Abdo described his basic training as horrible and complained that he couldnt fit in his praying 5 times a day and was unable to fast for his religion.
Abdo started being interested in Islam when he was 17 years old in 2007. He went to Dubai University in 2008. He joined the army in March 2009. He applied for conscientious objector status in June 2010.
When he joined the army he said he joined because it would bring justice to those who were giving Islam a bad name.
The army was convinced that Abdo had satisfied the burden of establishing that he was a conscientious objector. The standard is that he was opposed to war in any form, and that he showed a firm and fixed objection to participation in war in any form and showed sincere regret for putting the Army before his religion.
He said in an interview Preparing for deployment made me investigate my religion, he said. He said he had decided that the price of refusing to go is much lower than facing my God, adding that the only war justified by God is a just war. If there is no divine inspiration, it is murder.
