US Muslim soldiers are betraying Islam?

“Working in the American Army to kill a Muslim is a betrayal to Islam. America today is yesterday’s Pharaoh; it is an enemy to Islam. A Muslim is not allowed to work in the American Army unless he intends to walk in the path of Brother Nidal [Malik Hasan].”

– Anwar al-Awlaki
(in an interview with Al Jazeera – translated by NEFA Foundation)

Imam al-Awlaki was the “spiritual adviser” to two of the 9/11 hijackers, Army Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan (the Fort Hood shooter), and to Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab (attempted to detonate a bomb on a flight to Detroit). He was born in the U.S. and lived here until 2002 before fleeing for Yemen.
