US military formally taught total war against all Muslims as doctrine
Evidence
Wiredâs investigative reporting found that the âU.S. military taught its future leaders that a âtotal warâ against the worldâs 1.4 billion Muslims would be necessary to protect America from Islamic terrorists.â Among the various options put forward were to wipe out whole cities (as was done with Hiroshima) and to target the âcivilian population wherever necessary.â While the Pentagon has since suspended such training, the officer responsible for giving these lectures maintains his position within the military: the âcommanders, lieutenant colonels, captains and colonelsâ who took his course and listened to his rants have since been promoted to higher-level assignments. â Deepa Kumar, Islamophobia and the Politics of Empire, 572
