A West Point law professor has resigned following backlash over an article in which he advocated for attacks on Islamic holy sites as part of a “total war” on radical Islam.

William C. Bradford is sticking by his opinions following an uproar over a July paper titled “Trahison des Professeurs” (Treason of the Professors), which led to his resignation Sunday, The Washington Post reported.

“I stand by my article,” he told the paper, arguing that he had been “taken out of context” by people who had not read his article.

“I would suggest that the best approach to the problem I outline is competition in the marketplace of ideas,” he posited.

resigns after calling for attacks on Islamic holy sites

How can you get in trouble for calling for attacks on something that doesn't, strictly speaking, exist?

Considering that just about every place is holy to Islamists, I must ask the question, "where do we attack them?" There is absolutely no place that should be free from attack given that Muslims attack and destroy everything that is not Islamic.

It has always intuitively bothered me that when most of the hijackers on 9/11 came from Saudi Arabia, were funded by Saudis, and when radical Islamic schools in America are funded by Saudis that we never struck back at the heart of the problem.

We should have destroyed Saudi Arabia, leveled Mecca and Medina while sucking their country dry of oil.

I have no problems with our initial attacks in Afghanistan and Iraq. We should have followed through in Iran and every other Islamic Republic to rid the world of this evil. To do this properly we need to destroy each and every one of their holy sites, just on suspicion of those holy sites hide weapons. It is definitely known that those holy sites are the center of their strategy to destroy our way of life. Islamic holy sites should be treated no different than the way they treated the Pentagon.

Are we sure that their beer has alcohol and their strippers have lady parts?

Not to mention that we’d still have problems if we turned all Muslims into carbon copies of Pajama Boy...

Wasn’t Trump looking for a Patton type general to hit ISIS hard? Maybe he should consider this guy.

Because we know that the ROP is all about slaughter, burning, rape, destruction ... but don’t you dare go and mention it.
