from guardian.uk.co:

"The US military has a long tradition of religious tolerance but military officials bristled today at suggestions that this has aided infiltrators.

"'What our policies are and what we try to practise very earnestly is inclusion and diversity,' said Pentagon spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Les' Melnyk. "We need troops that reflect the diversity of America and we show the diversity of America to the world when we deploy."

"Only 3,526 of America's 1.4 million active duty military personnel reported being Muslim, but Melnyk said the 283,000 who reported no religious preference could include some members of the faith."

Maj. Hasan reportedly had "no religious preference".

Common sense for our Pentagon spokesman Melnyk:
"Diversity" ONLY Divides!
Our collective enemies know how to divide and conquer, WHY DON'T YOU?
