Are the Terrorists Outliers?

Burt Prelutsky isn't buying the conventional line that our war isn't with Islam, but with Islamic outliers.

As Prelutsky notes, the "Religion of Peace" has been spread by violent coercion from its inception. When apologists claim that only 10% of Muslims want to slit our throats for being infidels, that would still add up to 120,000,000 hostile maniacs — far more people than Hitler or Stalin could have thrown at us.

The series of attacks against our country up to and including 9/11 didn't stop American Muslims from pouring money into "charities" that finance terrorism. Their behavior stands in stark contrast to that of WWII-era Japanese-Americans, who rather than form organizations like CAIR to team up with the ACLU against their country, displayed patriotism and honor, despite having far more to whine about:

In 1943, the 442nd Regimental Combat Team was formed. It consisted of young Japanese-American men. In spite of the fact that the Nisei faced widespread prejudice in America, and in spite of the fact that their own families had been imprisoned by the federal government at Manzanar and various other concentration camps, these volunteers became the most decorated combat unit of its size during World War II. It was thanks to their sacrificial efforts that over 200 members of the 36th Texas Division, the so-called Lost Division, were rescued from certain slaughter at the hands of the Germans. It was during this battle in France's Vosges mountains that Second Lt. Daniel K. Inouye, later to be elected to the U.S. Senate, lost his right arm and earned the Congressional Medal of Honor. Astonishingly, his was only one of 21 such medals won by the relatively small group. The unit became legendary, known as the "Go for Broke" guys who fought for their country and their honor, collecting nearly 10,000 Purple Hearts and a nation's gratitude along the way.

Prelutsky doesn't see any conspicuous eagerness to serve among today's Muslim Americans, although he overlooks Asan Akbar, whose stint in the Army was certainly notable.

Of course there are Muslim Americans who have served with distinction. But who are the outliers?
