Sure, Why Not Let People Who Want To Kill Jews Guard Israel?
Nebraska has a legal problem, and this is the problem: they fired a KKK member because there was a greater than even chance that he wasn't going out of his way to protect black people. Now he's suing to be reinstated. We're not sure about the legal niceties of the dispute, but as a matter of common sense this debate isn't even close: the reason we don't let people like that work those kinds of jobs is because we just don't trust them to put aside their personal views in order to discharge their professional duties... which is probably a great reason not to let troops from Muslim countries defend Israel:
The Israeli government said Saturday it is asking friendly Muslim countries to contribute troops to the U.N. force that is to help police the cease-fire in southern Lebanon between Israel and Hezbollah. The U.N. wants Muslim troops included to lend credibility in the region to what so far is a mostly European force, and the predominantly Islamic nations of Indonesia, Bangladesh and Malaysia have offered to participate. But none of those recognize Israel, which says it would be reluctant to share intelligence with a force that included Muslim nations it doesn't have relations with. While Israel does not have any veto, its opposition to a country could influence which troops are included.
Awesome. Just awesome.
