ANN ARBOR, MI – A letter dated October 19, 2011 signed by 57 Muslim organizations, was sent to the White House with copies to other federal officials responsible for national security, including Secretary of the Department of Defense, Leon Panetta. The letter demanded that all training materials that they judge to be offensive to Islam be “purged” and instructors “are effectively disciplined.”
Because many reporters and citizens have asked for a copy of the letter, TMLC is linking to the 7-page letter here, and attaching it to this press release as well. You may also view it by going to the TMLC website at: www.thomasmore.org. Note the highlighted areas on page 5 of the letter.
This letter was referred to in a previous Thomas More Law Center (TMLC) press release. Click here.
Following that letter, in April 2012, Army Lieutenant Colonel (LTC) Matthew Dooley, a highly decorated combat veteran, was publically condemned by General Martin Dempsey, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and relieved of his teaching assignment at the Joint Forces Staff College (JFSC). The reason: the negative way Islam was portrayed in his elective course entitled, Perspectiveson Islam and Islamic Radicalism.
On May 10,2012,duringaPentagonpress conference with Defense Secretary Panetta seated next to him, General Martin Dempsey expressed negative opinions regarding the Perspectiveson Islam and Islamic Radicalism course, characterizing it as "totally objectionable" and "against our values." General Dempsey personally committed to removing any similar curriculum from military professional education within the JFSC and elsewhere.
The Thomas More Law Center, a national public interest law firm based in Ann Arbor, Michigan, now represents LTC Dooley, a 1994 Graduate of the U. S. Military Academy at West Point.
Richard Thompson, President and Chief Counsel of the Thomas More Law Center, observed, “In order to appease Muslims and the White House, General Dempsey and the Department of Defense rushed to punish LTC Dooley. In the process, they violated not only our Nation’s core principles of free speech and academic freedom guaranteed by our Constitution, but also, a number of the military’s own regulations dealing with academic freedom and non-attribution policies of the National Defense University (NDU) to which LTC Dooley was assigned. They violated the right to due process of law and even by-passed the University’s Provost, who under NDU’s own rules has primary responsibility for adjudication of this matter.”

Claire M. Lopez, a former CIA agent and strategic policy and intelligence expert, recently commented on General Dempsey’s order:
“The final bastion of America's defense against Islamic jihad and sharia, the Pentagon, fell to the enemy in April 2012, with the issuance of a letter from General Martin E. Dempsey, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, re-issuing his earlier order that all Department of Defense (DoD) course content be scrubbed to ensure no lingering remnant of disrespect to Islam.”
The administrative disciplinary procedures against LTC Dooley included removal from his teaching assignment and withdrawal of an outstanding Officer Evaluation Report (OER) concerning the elective course, Perspectiveson Islam and Islamic Radicalism,he had been teaching at JFSC.

OVER THE LINE ~ TO MUCH FROM THE WH !
You all miss the point, this appeasement attitude comes from the WH as stated in the letter "In order to appease the Muslims and the White House" why the WH ?
Just how stupid does one have to be to swallow the crap taught in the Quoran,Koran, Qoran or whatever Muhamed called that piece of shit.
t's time for that geiser to retire for shure General go to old geiser home now!!!
COULD Someone please comment on the FACT that Sharia Law cannot co-exist with the CONSTITUTION, because they are Diametrically opposed. Also can anyone, of any factual knowledge, tell the Americans that Jihad means HOLY WAR. Christians are in general a kinder, softer loving group of people, but most Muslims believe and have been trained from birth to HATE JEWS and CHRISTIANS. Walid Shoebat who is an Ex-muslim turned Christian. explains this clearly. This is an apparent attempt to downplay the seriousness of the FACT that the MUSLIMS have been planning on coming to AMERICA to take it over. THIS SLOW ACCEPTANCE TO The Muslim religion, is like the FROG IN BOILING WATER SYNDROME. Once they have come in and slowly worked their plot, we will see more and more attacks. Look at the recent history in Michigan and the many stories of attacks on Americans. Recently a musloim woman make the comment at work to her coworker, that were all stupid and she wanted to kill them all. KILL, KILL, that is the mindset that is manifested in their beliefs and actions. That is not to say that they do not show wome kindness. Many muslims have been converting to Christianity through Visions and Dreams of Christ and coming to the TRUE FAITH.
Seems I recall several months back where the DoJ ordered all reference to negative wording against islam to be removed from all FBi counter-terrorist manuals. That order would've had to come from the c-i-c to DoJ.....and according to a 'local' under the radar person in our group this has been done.
WAKE Up 47% slackers.. Damn zombies!!
I heard that the offensive painting of Christ covered in urine in going back on display in NYC at the same time the UN in meeting. Wonder if this was requested by our so called muslim president
the muslim think they own the world with thier mudering religion but will all be destroyed by Jesus christ our lord. they will be cast into the burning fires for thier slaughter. the american people need to wake up and stop being fooled by this muslim occupying the oval office by their stupidity of voting him in.I wonder why the congress wants to throw us to the wolves. what are they going to gain except a rag on their heads and butts up in the air praising allah. what made them go bonkers the money they are getting to shut up? It is just simple greed. and what will all this money do for them? nothing . they sold the country out for nothing. the money will burn in their hands. they are all quilty of treason. I will start making my phone calls to them telling them such. they think we are without a brain that we know they are not doing anything but you get letters from them telling you whhat all they are doing for the country. hey congress we are n ot stupid. we see your lack of support you are giving us. I hope they enjoy the money because they won;t enjoy what will be coming their way
Why in hell should we worry bout insulting the ragheads when Christianity has always been ridiculed, such as did Madaline Murray Ohare? It seems we have our heads up our A-- and can't realize what we are letting happen to our country. Talk about an enemy within? And we're allowing the worst one to sit behind the oval desk. In spite of the hatred and ignorance of so many Christianity will survive forever. The other cults will be destroyed by Christ when he returns, and it won't be long now.
