The increasing number of Muslims in the UK armed forces is a natural change because society is becoming more tolerant and young Muslim men and women feel more able to come forward and serve.
I’ve met many Muslims in the military who are very devout, because to Muslims a love of your country and serving your community is an important part of your faith.

Our faith teaches us resilience. Of course, taking life is something you think about when you first deploy operationally… but Britain is a special place to be and we all have to contribute to keep it like that.

Yet some claim there are no real coloured or Muslim Brits,,,this attitude stinks and we should be grateful for those brave souls who carry out the same duties as white British soldiers.

Some might not appreciate these brave folks, but I do...if they are willing to risk their life for a Britain and stand up against terrorism...

I take my hat off to them and thank them.

Actually you just made a racist view, Joy did not because clearly you do understand Muslims can be white also and British, but you make a point on only white British servicemen, when nobody brought up colour here but religion and of those who serve.

With more Muslims joining the British military, Islamic religious adviser to the Ministry of Defence Imam Asim Hafiz has said that there is no contradiction between being of the Muslim faith and choosing to defend Britain.
Mr Hafiz, who was the first Muslim chaplain for the armed forces, also strongly believes that British Muslims can be good soldiers. He said:

The increasing number of Muslims in the UK armed forces is a natural change because society is becoming more tolerant and young Muslim men and women feel more able to come forward and serve.
I’ve met many Muslims in the military who are very devout, because to Muslims a love of your country and serving your community is an important part of your faith.

The importance of communities is reflected in his work, as it was just last month that Mr Hafiz received an OBE for his work with Muslims in the armed forces and for improving religious and cultural understanding between international forces and the Afghan people.
The religious adviser said that there is still work to be done in Muslim communities to encourage family members to be more accepting, but the chain of command inside the military is ‘getting better every year at accommodating Muslims’.
Muslims in the UK armed forces are able to pray 5 times a day and fast, as long as there is not an overwhelming operational requirement against either. They are provided with halal rations, can seek support from Muslim chaplains, and use prayer rooms on base; one of which was recently made available on a naval warship.

Captain Naveed Muhammad, who has served in the Royal Corps of Signalsfor 27 years, is a practising Muslim soldier.
His role involves helping young soldiers forge a future and taking groups of young Muslim children on trips to Flanders. He has also served his country in Iraq, the Balkans and, most recently, Afghanistan.
Captain Naveed said:

Yeah, well ...can you imagine what the world would be like if we all had that mindset Vic?..

and one of those Muslim Army personnel from Didge's link has been in the British army for 27 years...I think he would have done something bad by now, of course as you suggest he is building up to much bigger things.

Most folk will appreciate these Muslim soldiers just as much as white non Muslim soldiers.

More British Muslims are in Syria on jihadi.....

There is nothing detrimental to any person or any group in what JD wrote so how can it be racist. And do you agree with the overall statement that Muslims serving in the British forces is a good thing?

And anyway, I keep reading on here that Muslims are not a race. Do you agree that for the purposes of understanding what racism means that they are then?
