There isn't just concern for Muslim soldiers, but police officers too.
Watch the report
Channel 4 News has been told that some Muslim officers have been verbally attacked by their co-religionists for joining the force.
Muslim soldiers and their families are now likely to be issued with new security guidance, according to defence sources.
There are currently 330 Muslims in the Armed Forces, 250 of them in the Army, and sources said extra advice would be provided to anyone who felt at risk.
