Proposed ban on Muslims in US military doesn't go far enough?

The American Family Association, a religious organization described as conservative and Christian, has called for a ban on service in the U.S. military by those of the Muslim faith, according to Mother Jones.

This might seem shocking at first, flying in the face of U.S. constitutional guarantees of freedom of religion and separation of church and state.

But it's simply addressing a basic fact: the faith professed by Muslims might well prevent them from full service.

And, I suggest, the proposed ban may not go far enough.

For the very simple reason that, like the Muslims, there are other faiths whose teachings proscribe such service. The simple and unavoidable fact is that other religions share these proscriptions.

Yes, Muslims share, with at least two other major religious groups, fundamental spiritual edicts which one would think would prevent obedient service in the military.

Like Christians and Jews, with whom they share what Christian's call "the Old Testament," Muslims profess obedience to the Ten Commandments handed down by Moses.

And the edict is clear from one of those Commandments: Thou shalt not kill.

Ban 'em all...
