As I stated before, depends on which sect of Muslims you were working with and if they are really "true to the faith of their sect of Islam" or Muslim in name only because they were born "Muslim". Also, I'm sure you have heard the phrase "The enemy of my enemy is my friend" ? Some points to consider: I would tend to say that the Muslims serving in our military are more along the line of Sunnis rather than Shi'a. As you know, America is in alliance with the Saudi Arabia Kingdom (Sunni-Islam) against Iran (Shi'a-Islam) and against various other fundamental sects that wish to overthrow the Saudi rulers because of the alliance. Thus, our country sells jets and military equipment to the Saudis as well for their own protection. Meanwhile, the ruling family of the Saudi Kingdom is considered by true fundamental Muslims as being traitors to Islam because of the friendly relations with the U.S. "an Infidel nation" and that's another reason why this country is targeted by Jihadist armies and terror cells as well. Do you know which sect of Muslims you worked with?

Yes, it is possible and appears to be happening much the same as it is in France and throughout Europe.

That is, historically, a completely different scenario. After battles between the settlers and various American Indian tribes, the victorious colonists/settlers defeated the Indians, rounded them up and put the survivors on reservations. Remember that Indians were never given an opportunity back then to participate in the colonial expansion whose founders proclaimed that "all men are created equal...etc."

| Tennessee Representative, Rick Womick, is the one who deserves the recognition and thanks for his courage to publicly express his concerns in this matter. Additionally, in the heat of an immediate backlash, he did not back down nor cave in to the widespread criticisms that came from an uninformed public, the "politically correct media" and special interest groups whose agenda is to silence free speech. While the majority of America's politicians are cowardly shying away from this controversial issue, Mr. Womick, through this incident, has courageously exemplified his patriotic commitment as an elected official to defend and protect the U.S. Constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic. Equally important, is his genuine concern for the security of our uniformed soldiers serving in the United States military. In this, I support and thank Mr. Womick.

| As far as I know once the constitution has been amended the only way to counter is with another amendment (XVIII and XXI amendments).
