The United States military has called for a review of all its training classes after receiving criticism for a course taught to senior officers that allegedly encouraged war against Islam.

My Comment: So Al Jazeera regards CAIR as a mainstream group .... hmmmm .... my Muslim friends say otherwise. But this ignores the other point which is that these classes are clearly not giving an accurate picture to the US military on how Islamic teachings and writings are being used by extremist Islamic groups to preach and legitimize jihad and war against the West and other individuals and groups (including against fellow Muslims) who do not share their point of view. Until that is done, we will continue to wage war against an enemy that we do not understand .... and what is worse .... we will end up alienating our Muslim allies.
The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen Martin Dempsey has promised an extensive review .... my suggestion to him is that this is 10 years too late, and that he better "hurry it up".
