Army's call for Muslims to join up
10/08/2009
The new head of the Army wants to recruit British Muslims to help fight the Taliban.
General Sir David Richards said the UK may be in Afghanistan for 40 years and it needs more ethnic troops to boost numbers.
He told an MoD journal: "There are some hugely capable people I would love to see in the Army.
"The Army would be better getting more Muslims in to our ranks."
An MoD source added: "He is sending Muslim soldiers on a recruiting drive to Bradford, Leeds, Birmingham and London.
"This is a sensitive but bold attempt to increase boots on the ground in Afghanistan and increase ethnic numbers."
