If the Muslims are so integrated into American society, why do they have to have a Muslim American Veterans Assn? What is wrong with the VFW or the American Legion?
You might want to take a look at this and adjust your thinking. ......
"The Jewish War Veterans of the United States of America (also referred to as the Jewish War Veterans of the U.S.A., the Jewish War Veterans, or the
JWV) is an
American Jewish veterans' organization, and
the oldest veterans group in the United States. It has an estimated 37,000 members."

Interesting. Established in 1896. Do you have access to the Muslim veterans bylaws and do they have anything like the Jewish group has?
"No person who promotes, or is a member of any organization or group which believes in, or advocates, bigotry or the overthrow of the United States government by force of arms or subversion" shall be eligible for membership.
Active membership may be granted to "any person of the
Jewish faith of good character" who is a
U.S. citizen and was an
active duty member of the
U.S. military (including the
National Guard and
Reserves) in or during any
war,
campaign, or conflict. The National Constitution also requires that members to have not been
discharged under any conditions other than honorable."
Other Veterans groups in the United States:
Catholic War Veterans & Auxiliary | For God, For Country, For Home since 1935
Catholic War Veterans Association
Japanese American Associations
But the only Veterans you question the loyalty of here are Muslim Americans.
Muslim Americans who have risked their lives- and too often sacrificed their lives on behalf of the United States.
Often providing valuable language and cultural skills on missions to the Middle East.
But to you- they are just more Muslims- to be feared and discriminated against.
I did not question their loyalty, you did. My question was if Muslims are so integrated into American society, why don't they join the existing VFW or American Legion instead of forming their own? Is that too difficult for you?
Well since I am not a veteran, I would only be guessing that they have their own for the same reason as

Do you think that those Irish Americans and Jewish Americans are having a hard time integrating into American society? Why do you think that they didn't just join the VFW?
