From Wired,
The U.S. military taught its future leaders that a “total war” against the world’s 1.4 billion Muslims would be necessary to protect America from Islamic terrorists, according to documents obtained by Danger Room. Among the options considered for that conflict: using the lessons of “Hiroshima” to wipe out whole cities at once, targeting the “civilian population wherever necessary.”
The quasi good news is that,
The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff recently ordered the entire U.S. military to scour its training material to make sure it doesn’t contain similarly hateful material, a process that is still ongoing. But the officer who delivered the lectures, Army Lt. Col. Matthew A. Dooley, still maintains his position at the Norfolk, Virginia college, pending an investigation. The commanders, lieutenant colonels, captains and colonels who sat in Dooley’s classroom, listening to the inflammatory material week after week, have now moved into higher-level assignments throughout the U.S. military.

I would like Army Lt. Col. Matthew A. Dooley to be fired from Norfolk College but at least the training materials have been purged.
This is a PDF of Dooley’s lectures and core philosophies on the “war with Islam,”
http://www.opednews.com/...
Among the things he taught were the following reprehensible ideas:
The protection of civilians by international law no longer valid. Hence, “the historical precedents of Dresden, Tokyo, Hiroshima, Nagasaki” to Islam’s holiest cities, and bringing about “Mecca and Medina['s] destruction.”
Mainstream Muslims are dangerous because they are violent by nature.
“By conservative estimates,” 10 percent of the world’s Muslims, “a staggering 140 million people … hate everything you stand for and will never coexist with you, unless you submit” to Islam.”
Moderate Islam incorporates both violence and a need for to implement an Islamic Caliphate.
Moderate Muslims condone violence in the name of Islam
Muslims are obligated to raid the land of the Infidels and occupy them.
The barbaric ideology [my note: this means Islam] will no longer be tolerated.
“True Islam,” is both a political and military enemy to free people throughout the world."
You can read more if you have the stomach for it by clicking on the PDF I linked in this diary.
In this sense Dooley, is no different or any better than Muslim terrorists. Both want the death of innocents and both have a lust and thirst for blood.
Yet the majority of Muslims are not terrorists but peace-loving people.
The majority of Muslims do not share the sentiments of Al Qaeda, as one poll showcases (h/t: Volleyboy1).
A year after the death of its leader, al Qaeda is widely unpopular among Muslim publics. A new poll by the Pew Research Center’s Global Attitudes Project, conducted March 19 to April 13, 2012, finds majorities – and mostly large majorities – expressing negative views of the terrorist group in Egypt, Jordan, Pakistan, Turkey and Lebanon

Perhaps the reason for this is because Al Qaeda has killed more Muslims than they have killed non-Muslims. So Al Qaeda by in large is an enemy of Muslims.
It is also important to note that out of the three Abrahamic faiths, Muslim Americans are the least likely to endorse civilian killings.

Had Dooley bothered to do a little research instead of rationalizing his phobia, he would have given quite a different lecture.
