Abdirahman's comments come after a poll showed 11% of American Muslims indicated a willingness to serve in the U.S. military, more than the 10% of Catholics and Protestant respondents or 9% of those who are non-religious. White Muslims were the most likely to indicate a willingness to serve in the military, with 17% saying they would serve compared to 11% of non-Muslim Whites who indicated a similar willingness, according to the results of an Institute for Social Policy and Understanding survey.
