Subject: French Question Loyalty of Moslem Troops
James Dunnigan    11/5/2005 1:34:28 AM


France has been detecting, or at least fearing,
loyalty problems among the fifteen percent of its soldiers who are Moslem. The
military insists that these second and third generation soldiers of, for the
most part, Arab descent, are loyal. But many Christian soldiers, NCOs and
officers are not so sure. Harassment of Moslem troops by Christian soldiers is
common. There have been no major incidents of soldiers turned terrorists, but
the abuse from paranoid soldiers, NCOs and officers might push Moslem soldiers
to go bad. This is believed more likely because there are no Moslem chaplains.
Thus Moslem soldiers seek spiritual advice from clerics with no military
experience, and possible a radical agenda. More worrisome is that radicalized
soldiers will leave the army equipped with skills they can use for terrorist
attacks.

The main attraction for Muslisms in true Christianity revolves around the term "grace". There is forgiveness from and fellowship with God for sinful man. It's too bad the French "Christian" military members do not provide a model of this grace for Muslims. James 1:26 in the Bible would imply these French Christians' religion is worthless and therefore one might hazard a guess that Islam in France has an even or better chance to out proselytize "Christianity" in France. If France and perhaps Europe go majority Muslim in the future, it will be because their brand of Christianity was worthless.

Ah, you can't beat religion for setting man against man.

France? Isn't that the country that surrenders to anyone within 50 miles? What's there to be loyal for? French bread? French dresing? French-fries?

it could come to much worse, i hope this world changes soon, because there is some real evil on the horizon. dont just think "what they could do with training after they leave army", but what they could do if they wanted to kill thier own army whilest serving in it.
