''The community's participation rate in the ADF is low. There were 88 Muslims in uniform in mid-2013. That means that, while there is one Australian in uniform in every 400, there is only one Muslim in uniform for about every 6000 Muslims in this country.

''This is not because the Islamic community is peaceful. I think there are now nine Australian Muslims who have died in Syria. On a per capita basis, that is equivalent to the ADF losing over 400 soldiers in Afghanistan. So while the Islamic community is 15 times less likely to contribute to our nation's defence, it is 10 times more likely to see its sons die on the battlefield � for a cause that hates Western life, history and culture.''

Interesting.
Wonder how many Muslims are curently in the CF, as opposed to being in Syria.

The truth is not politically correct.

He's essentially proposing an army of Catholic zealots to keep the West safe from Islam and gays. How a major can be so stupid and not think stating these views in a modern diverse army would wreak havoc is beyond my understanding.
