Joint Forces Staff College Instructor Suspended for Course on Islam
We are once again admonished that Al Qaeda and Jihadists have a 'warped view of the Islamic faith.' CPT Kirby, perhaps you could explain where they have strayed from the proper view of Islam and how so many others seem to follow this 'warped view' of Islam. What is the proper view of Islam? Does it differ from that of Al Azhar University?

The instructor of a college course that taught top military officers the United States was at war with Islam has been relieved of teaching duties and the course ordered redesigned to reflect U.S. policy, a military spokesman said on Wednesday.
The elective course at the National Defense University's Joint Forces Staff College included a slide that asserted "the United States is at war with Islam and we ought to just recognize that we are war with Islam," Pentagon officials said in April as they launched a review of the course...
...Navy Captain John Kirby, a Pentagon spokesman, said in April that Defense Secretary Leon Panetta was deeply concerned about some of the materials being taught in the course, such as the slide suggesting the United States was at war with Islam.
"That's not at all what we believe to be the case. We're at war against terrorism, specifically al Qaeda, who has a warped view of the Islamic faith," Kirby said.
