MuslimsAmerica's video: An American Soldier who happens to be Muslim - 2 4 English

Imran Siddiqui Urdu VOA News, Fort Hood, Texas. Specialist Zachari Klawonn is an American soldier--an American Muslim of Moroccan descent and for the past 2 years he's been stationed at one of the largest military installations in the U.S, -- Fort Hood, Texas. Zachari is well respected among his peers and his supervisors according to Zachari, he's being harassed at the base by some soldiers as well as by some in higher ups the chain of command. The reason for this, according to Zachari, is simply because he happens to be a Muslim. But Zachari does not blame the entire institution of military for this behavior and he believes in the liberties, the moral compass and the freedom of religion honored by the U.S constitution. He simply asserts that his objective is to make sure that the system works, so that the next time around, when another American Muslim soldier walks into the military as a private-first class soldier, he doesn't have to face the same issues as him.
