I can find no evidence that Obama was "born a Muslim". I can find evidence that his biological father was.

As for the "obligated by their faith to kill him", are you suggesting that the two Muslim factions involved in Iraq's civil war (one Moe's brother followers, the other a cousin or son - I really don't give a ....) will somehow determine that he favors one brand of nuts over the other brand of nuts? I just don't follow you Torba.

The "this" being a false implication of formerly being Muslim, right? I'm sure half-way across the world there is a Muslim version of you Torba, I ask you to seek this person out and ask HIM the same silly questions.

My question - religion aside:
Have US soldiers ever been asked to fight and die for a country we just defeated?

I'm straining to answer this. I think we must have intervened or taken sides in other countries Civil Wars before, but that is not the question.
