 Terry Holdbrooks stood watch over prisoners at Gitmo. What he saw made him adopt their faith.
Dan Ephron
NEWSWEEK
From the magazine issue dated Mar 30, 2009
Army specialist Terry Holdbrooks had been a guard at Guantánamo for about six months the night he had his life-altering conversation with detainee 590, a Moroccan also known as "the General." This was early 2004, about halfway through Holdbrooks's stint at Guantánamo with the 463rd Military Police Company. Until then, he'd spent most of his day shifts just doing his duty. He'd escort prisoners to interrogations or walk up and down the cellblock making sure they weren't passing notes. But the midnight shifts were slow. "The only thing you really had to do was mop the center floor," he says. So Holdbrooks began spending part of the night sitting cross-legged on the ground, talking to detainees through the metal mesh of their cell doors.

Press Release from American Muslim Armed Forces and Veteran Affairs Council
11 September 2008
http://www.amafandvac.org/
Our beloved, Imam Warith Deen Mohammed affectionately known as “Brother Imam” passed away Tuesday morning, on the 9th day of Ramadhan in the year of 1429 Hijra. He was at the forefront of many efforts including the establishment of the Islamic Chaplaincy within the Department of Defense and religious accommodations for Muslims in the US Armed Forces.
The Muslim Military Members (MMM) arranged a visit on February 5, 1992 for him to tour the Pentagon and address Defense officials, Chaplains, and other Military personnel. This was but one of countless events that Brother Imam participated in respect to Muslims in the US Armed Forces.
Whether a Muslim Military Member or the leadership of the American Muslim Armed Forces and Veteran Affairs Council, his office door was always open. Brother Imam leaves behind a quiet legacy of gigantic proportions in the footsteps of greats like Thomas Jefferson, Dr. Martin Luther King, and Pope John Paul II.
 Forgotten by both Muslim and non-Muslim Americans this Memorial Day are the many Muslim who have served in the US armed forces.
By Shahed Amanullah, May 30, 2005
If you ever visit Arlington National Cemetery, as many are doing on this Memorial Day, you may notice that every now and then, a crescent pops up among the field of crosses. Few Americans are aware that many American Muslims have fought and died in the US Armed Forces, including in Iraq. When you wander the cemetery grounds that overlook Washington, DC, you'll notice the grave of Army Captain Humayun Khan, who lured a suicide car bomb away from the men in his charge, saving their lives but giving up his own.
As-Salaamu Alaiukum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh,
With the impending election season upon us, we thought it might be a good idea to remind each other of some important matters.
DoD regulations state that uniformed or civilian Defense Department
employees cannot, among other things, "knowingly solicit or discourage the
political activity of any person who has business with DoD; engage in
political activity while on duty; and engage in political activity while in
any Federal workplace."
As-Salaamu Alaikum Wa Rahamtullahi Wa Barakatuh,
The Islamic Crescent Observation Project (http://www.icoproject.org) is reporting that the vast majority of countries around the world are recognizing Monday, 1 September 2008 as the first day of Fasting for the Holy Month of Ramadhan.
The Islamic Day actually begins at Maghrib, following the moon as its time keeper.
Allah says in the Holy Qur'an:
"They ask you about the new moons. Say: These are signs to mark fixed periods of time for mankind and for the pilgrimage." [Holy Quran 2:189]
 'If anything, being Arab and being Muslim in the military right now benefits a unit so much,' Ahmed Shama says.
By Gil Kaufman
MTV News
Ahmed Shama was born in Cairo, Egypt, and grew up in New York in a Muslim household. He began studying the Quran at a young age with his father, who, like Shama's mother, is a devout Muslim.
