Winds of War: Where Is the Muslim Nisei?

During WWII, suspicions of Japanese-American loyalties ran high to the extent that many Japanese youths and their families were interned during the war. To counter this type of suspicion, young patriotic Japanese joined the US Army and they were called the Nisei.
