VERBATIM

 

A law firm that defends and promotes Christian heritage and moral values says an 18-year veteran Army officer is being disciplined for telling the truth about Islam. There is evidence that the Pentagon is apparently taking its marching orders from Islamic groups.



Lt. Col. Matthew Dooley is a 1994 graduate of the United States Military Academy. The highly decorated Army officer has been deployed to Bosnia, Kuwait, and Iraq for a total of six combat tours during his career.
But Dooley was recently condemned and relieved of a teaching assignment because he discussed negative aspects of Islam in an elective course entitled "Perspectives on Islam and Islamic Radicalism" at the Joint Services Staff College in Norfolk, Virginia.

Richard Thompson is president and chief counsel of Thomas More Law Center in Ann Arbor, Michigan. He says Dooley's career is being adversely affected.

"He was slated to become a colonel and assume a command position," he tells OneNewsNow. "But because they did not like the way he taught the class and the way he portrayed Islam, they have stopped this whole procedure. They decided they were going to give him a negative evaluation and red-flagged his promotion."
Thompson says TMLC is very concerned about a letter sent out by 57 Islamist groups to several government agencies, including the Pentagon, demanding that action be taken against the teaching of this course content.

"All information that is offensive to Islam is to be removed," Thompson summarizes the letter. "And any instructors [of the course] should be disciplined. Apparently the Department of Defense is following the instructions they got from these Muslim organizations."

He says the treatment of Lt. Col. Dooley is outrageous and the Thomas More Law Center is considering a federal lawsuit aimed at vindicating Dooley's rights to free speech and academic freedom.
