French Muzzies Refusing to Fight Against Islamic Terrorists
Gee, it kind of makes you wonder if they signed up for the sole purpose of waging jihad against the infidels, only to discover they were in the wrong army…
French Muslim soldiers refuse to go to Afghanistan

PARIS: French Muslim soldiers have refused to serve in Afghanistan, saying their faith forbids them from fighting fellow Muslims, a military spokesman confirmed to AFP.
“The refusal to be assigned to a mission for religious reasons is a micro-phenomenon concerning fewer than five cases per year,” said Colonel Benoit Royal, confirming a report on the website of left-wing daily Liberation.
Liberation’s respected “Defence Secret” blog reported that an infantry soldier in eastern France had in October refused to be stationed in Afghanistan but later agreed, after meeting with a Muslim chaplain.
Soldiers, that refuse a mission, face disciplinary action and in most cases are discharged from the army, Royal said. France has 2,600 troops serving in Afghanistan to shore up the weak government of President Hamid Karzai and battle the Taliban.
In all, 25 French soldiers have died on the mission, with casualties increasing since they were reinforced last year. afp

So what fraction of French soldiers are Muslim? “Five cases per year” would mean more if we knew what what percentage of Muslim soldiers refuse to fight.

Google is my friend: About 15-20 percent of the French military is Muslim.
That would suggest roughly 500 Muslim troops deployed, and 5 cases per year would be about 1 percent of the Muslim troops.
Next question: Are Muslims distributed among all the services (Army, Navy, Air Force) and all specialties? In other words, I’m trying to zero in on what percentage of serving Muslims have been ordered to deploy in Afghanistan.

And once again, Europeans surrender to fascism. What exactly do the French expect will happen when the Muzzies outnumber them and decide to impose Sharia? America will ride to the rescue again?
