Seen this last night, surprised there’s not a thread about it all ready. Most disturbing is this course was taught over a year with more the 40 classes and 800 students yet it wasn’t reported by anyone until recently.

A course for the US military, which called for Muslim cities to be obliterated "like Hiroshima", has been suspended by the Pentagon.

In one exercise, the course presumed that the Geneva Conventions, which sets standards of armed conflict, were "no longer relevant".

It adds: "This would leave open the option once again of taking war to a civilian population wherever necessary (the historical precedents of Dresden, Tokyo, Hiroshima, Nagasaki being applicable...)."

His war plan suggests possible outcomes such as "Saudi Arabia threatened with starvation... Islam reduced to cult status" and the Muslim holy cities of Mecca and Medina in Saudi Arabia "destroyed".

Not sure really what to comment on here. The course was bad, it was deemed to be bad.

Prejudice within the US military exists, but it's good to see that it's clamped down upon.

Of course its true, its been true for as long as the sides have known each other.

The true crusade is against the disease that is the linear mind.

It's more western liberal states vs Islam, if anything. I don't think there's a religious motivation from the western actors, in terms of wanting to impose their religious beliefs... but they do want to stop ideas in the middle east which conflict strongly with the western idea of human rights, and liberal society (which kinda coincidentally means it's vs [some] Islam, as that's where lots of it stems from).

It's basically a rejection of cultural relativism, rather than both sides wanting to impose religious ideals.

Spot on.

To a point, however like the Crusades this isn't about religion or culture...it is about power, idealism and wealth and either taking it, protecting it or retaining it. It is about our liberal idealism coming into conflict with Islamist authoritarianism.

The same old story is the same old story for a reason.

It is more about Western Liberalism v Islamist Extremism......which is something entirely different to Islam.
 
When you live in a country with a Zionist-occupied goverment, their indoctrination program will spread to the military as well.
 
WW2 happened, we gave Isreal to the Jews, Cold war happened, USA armed the Afghans to fight the USSR, Afghans are not fighting the USA. USA have a long history of arming countries back to hurt them, Ever since WW2 they have been the world police.

You couldn't make it up.
 
No need for violence to destroy authoritarian Islam in its current form. Western powers will largely withdraw from Afghanistan in the next couple of years and as the current generation of youth from middle eastern countries grows up we'll see far more changes to the region. Lots of these countries have large youth populations not all of whom share their parents hardline views... Iran, for example, in its current state won't last more than a decade or two IMO.

It is why Iran wants the bomb.
