Soldier Who Taught ?Total War? Against Islam Threatens to Sue Top Military Officer

wired.com

The Army officer who once taught that the U.S. ought to consider ?Hiroshima tactics? for a ?total war? on Islam has put America?s top general on notice for a possible lawsuit.?Lt. Col. Matthew Dooley is?accusing the government of concealing ?the truth about Islam? at a time when proponents of his view of an inevitable clash between Islam and the West have succeeded at fanning precisely those flames.

On Thursday, attorneys for Dooley told Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff?Gen. Martin Dempsey that Dooley is considering ?a potential civil action,? said Marine Col. David Lapan, a spokesman for Dempsey. The written notice does not indicate that they?ve actually filed a lawsuit against Dempsey.

But Dooley?s lawyers, who have defended one of the most prominent anti-Islam voices in the United States, aren?t just flirting with legal action against the chairman of the Joint Chiefs. They?re launching a PR strike as well. A press release announcing that Dooley has retained them accuses Dempsey of compromising ?the final bastion of America?s defense against Islamic jihad and sharia, the Pentagon? to ?the enemy.? And it?s language that comes as Americans worry about Islamic radicals targeting U.S. embassies in the Middle East.

As Danger Room first reported in April,?Dempsey shut down an elective course?Dooley taught at the Joint Forces Staff College in Norfolk, Virginia, which is under the auspices of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The course instructed senior officers at the lieutenant colonel, commander, colonel and Navy captain level that ?there is no such thing as ?moderate Islam,?? and that wartime protections against civilians of Islamic countries were ?no longer relevant.?
