One News NowVERBATIM A law firm that defends and promotes Christian heritage andmoral values says an 18-year veteran Army officer is beingdisciplined for telling the truth about Islam. There is evidencethat the Pentagon is apparently taking its marching orders fromIslamic groups.



Lt. Col. Matthew Dooley is a 1994 graduate of the United StatesMilitary Academy. The highly decorated Army officer has beendeployed to Bosnia, Kuwait, and Iraq for a total of six combattours during his career.
But Dooley was recently condemned and relieved of a teachingassignment because he discussed negative aspects of Islam in anelective course entitled "Perspectives on Islam and IslamicRadicalism" at the Joint Services Staff College in Norfolk,Virginia.

Richard Thompson is president and chief counsel of Thomas More Law Center inAnn Arbor, Michigan. He says Dooley's career is being adverselyaffected.

"He was slated to become a colonel and assume acommand position," he tells OneNewsNow. "But because they did notlike the way he taught the class and the way he portrayed Islam,they have stopped this whole procedure. They decided they weregoing to give him a negative evaluation and red-flagged hispromotion."
Thompson says TMLC is very concerned about a letter sent out by57 Islamist groups to several government agencies, including thePentagon, demanding that action be taken against the teaching ofthis course content.

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

He says the treatment of Lt. Col. Dooley is outrageous and theThomas More Law Center is considering a federal lawsuit aimed atvindicating Dooley's rights to free speech and academicfreedom.
