US Military Teach Officers: Use ‘Hiroshima’ Tactics for ‘Total War’ on Islam
Local Editor
"There is no such thing as ‘moderate Islam'". There should be "total war" on Islam using "Hiroshima" style tactics, read a few sentences of the class presentations addressed to US senior military officers.
US military officers have attended Anti-Islam class, not the first of its kind; it was the second class held, al-Jazeera English reveiled.
The class was entitled "Understanding the Threat to America," and claimed that Islamists from Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood have infiltrated the US government at the highest levels.
The report came one day after Wired.com's Spencer Ackerman and Noah Shachtman exposed a similar course being taught at the Defense Department's Joint Forces Staff College.
The source reported that the class was taught at a military base in Virginia. That class' presentations included messages like "there is no such thing as ‘moderate Islam'" and advocated for waging "total war" on Islam using "Hiroshima" style tactics.
Both of the anti-Muslim classes contained material prepared by the Strategic Engagement Group, Inc, a private group that contracts with the US military, according to same source.
The involvement of a private contractor in these courses should come as no surprise, the report noted, as "Anti-Muslim private groups who contract with law enforcement and the Department of Homeland Security are ubiquitous.
More details on the first anti-Muslim class exposed by Wired have emerged, stated the report.
Think Progress reporters Eli Clifton and Ali Gharib have obtained hundreds of documents outlining the contents of that course.
They report that well-known anti-Muslim figures like Robert Spencer, Steven Emerson, David Yerushalmi and more were cited in the Army class materials.
