| British Army Hopes to Recruit Muslims |
| 2004-09-02 |
| The British armed forces wants to convince more ethnic minorities -- particularly Muslims -- to sign up. But with wars raging in primarily Muslim Iraq and Afghanistan, that's not an easy task. |

| #8 Absolute f£cking madness - any muslims joining the army will and shall have the right royal shit beaten out of them. I'm surprised the US Army would enlist any more after that twat threw grenades into a control tent during the opening days and that Lebanese gaylord went awol in Fallujah. They should be banned from conscripting full stop. |

| #7 http://www.publicinterestlawyers.co.uk/gurkhas_litigation.htm For once, the Public Image Lawyers doing the right thing. A bit of lateral thinking involved in the judgement; but, if I was in gurkha shoes at the moment, I would probably only fight for me and mine after this. Who cares if it's cheaper to live in Nepal or London. Let's send the Judge to Nepal and give him £20 pm to live on. There's a going rate for work done in the international world. That said, I am not expecting any back-pay for my time on $180 per month slotting ZANLA/ZIPRA back in the '70's, but I know which side is which. http://greenleader.net/ Let's hope the POW's have their money by now. |

| #6 British Army Hopes to Recruit Muslims Under WHAT pretense? That the current army is too white? This is so stupid, it boggles the mind. |

| #5 Good plan. That way they won't have to go so far to get ambushed. Saves on gas. |

| #4 There were several small Gurkhas units assigned to UK forces in Iraq at the beginning of the war...if they are still there, what better unit to turn lose to find the Islamoslobs that killed the Nepalese drivers. |

| #3 Even the SS couldn't toughen them up. Waffen SS Division Handschar only one disbanded and disarmedby the Reich during the course of the war. Rape and pillage is what they were good for...fighting?...forget it... |

| #1 Insane. They should seek to sign up more Gurkhas. |
