Pentagon Suspends "Counterjihad" Class on Islam; Taught Need to Raze Holy Cities of Mecca, Medina

The CBS News website reports today (May 11, 2012) that a course for U.S. military officers has been teaching that America's enemy is Islam in general -- not just terrorists -- and suggesting that the U.S. might ultimately have to obliterate the Islamic holy cities of Mecca and Medina without regard for civilian deaths.

The Pentagon suspended the course late last month after a student objected to the material.

"They hate everything you stand for and will never coexist with you, unless you submit," the instructor, Army Lt. Col. Matthew Dooley, said in a presentation last July for the course at Joint Forces Staff College in Norfolk, Virginia.

Dooley also said that -- for the purposes of his theoretical war plan -- the Geneva Conventions that set rules of armed conflict "are no longer relevant."
