AUSTRALIAN MP FRED NILE WARNS OF THE RISKS OF MUSLIMS IN THE MILITARY
CHRISTIAN Democrat MP Fred Nile has warned of the risks of allowing Muslims to serve in Australia’s armed forces.
The Rev Nile says last week’s killing spree in the United States in which an army officer shot dead 13 people should cause “all associated with the free world’s military forces to feel serious concern”.
The NSW MP and former army officer said the Australian Defence Force could already harbour Muslim personnel who may be a threat to their comrades in arms.
“Australians would like to be assured that our defence forces have in place a system of assessment and review which would identify any person whose adherence to any alien ideology might one day override loyalty to mates and loyalty to the Crown,” Mr Nile said.
“There is an argument for suggesting that the safety and morale of our troops may warrant a ban on dedicated Muslims joining the armed forces, who may be influenced by Islamic fundamentalism.”
