Point and a highly decorated combat veteran. His reason: The course on Islamic
Radicalism which LTC Dooley was teaching at the Joint Forces Staff College
(JFSC) of the National Defense University was offensive to Muslims……As a
result, the Thomas More Law Center on Monday announced it is taking on LTC
Dooley's case against the Defense Department and the Obama administration.
"General Dempsey characterized LTC Dooley’s course as "totally

military professional education within the JFSC and elsewhere. In addition, LTC
Dooley was fired from his instructor position and given an ordered negative
Officer Evaluation Report (OER) -- the death-knell for a military career,"
according to Thomas More officials.
The actions against LTC Dooley follow a letter to the Department of Defense
dated October 19, 2011 signed by 57 Muslim organizations demanding that all
training materials offensive to Islam and Muslims be purged and the trainers
disciplined.
According to a source, Joint Forces Staff College course included a slide-show
