Stephen Coughlin fired from Pentagon after pro-Muslim officials demand it

This is bad news. Stephen Coughlin, a specialist on Islamic extremism and Shari'a, has been dismissed from the Pentagon following opposition to his work by Islamist officials:
Stephen Coughlin, the Pentagon specialist on Islamic law and Islamist extremism, has been fired from his position on the military’s Joint Staff. The action followed a report in this space last week revealing opposition to his work for the military by pro-Muslim officials within the office of Deputy Defense Secretary Gordon England.

Mr. Coughlin was notified this week that his contract with the Joint Staff will end in March, effectively halting the career of one of the U.S. government’s most important figures in analyzing the nature of extremism and ultimately preparing to wage ideological war against it.

He had run afoul of a key aide to Mr. England, Hasham Islam, who confronted Mr. Coughlin during a meeting several weeks ago when Mr. Islam sought to have Mr. Coughlin soften his views on Islamist extremism.

Mr. Coughlin was accused directly by Mr. Islam of being a Christian zealot or extremist “with a pen,” according to defense officials. Mr. Coughlin appears to have become one of the first casualties in the war of ideas with Islamism.

The officials said Mr. Coughlin was let go because he had become “too hot” or controversial within the Pentagon.
This is exactly why Muslims cannot be allowed to work within an important office, the very government office that the al Qaeda attacked on September 11, 2001, because all they apparently do is undermine efforts to protect the country.

Bryan Preston also says:
This is in a Pentagon run by a Republican president who has called himself a “war president” in the past. Emphasis on “past,” apparently.
Indeed. Dubya has been heading for disaster at the end of his career, and should be remembered for how he let down the US at the end.
