Three Chaplains Documentary | U.S. Muslim Service Members | Independent Lens | PBS (original) (raw)

Muslim chaplains advocate for equality in the military.

Muslim chaplains in the U.S. military support and defend the religious rights of all service members. But their leadership sparks accusations of disloyalty and even disapproval from within their own communities. Resisting calls to blend in, the chaplains fight to maintain a balanced devotion to Islam, the Constitution and the military.
