Visit our News page The two-pronged threat to America This past weekend, the Florida Times-Union newspaper ran another story about the controversy surrounding the nomination of former CAIR (Council on American-Islamic Relations) National Chairman Parvez Ahmed to the Jacksonville Human Rights Commission. In the article, the reporter wrote “The controversy centers on Ahmed’s ties to CAIR, which detractors claim has been linked to Hamas… Supporters of CAIR say the claims are unfounded.” Note the use of the word “CLAIM.” In other words, according to the reporter, “detractors” are “claiming” that CAIR is tied to Hamas. But this is not a “claim.” The Justice Department has laid out the case that CAIR is both linked to the Muslim Brotherhood and is a Hamas front group in America.

So what the reporter ended up writing was not due to ignorance.” The enabling of the Islamist agenda is taking place in the media, in government, in academia, and even within the defense, national security and law enforcement communities. As reported recently by Steven Emerson, the Obama administration has placed a very controversial figure, Dalia Mogahed, in a key position shaping the White House Mideast message. The core mission of ACT! for America has always been combating the threat of radical Islam and the political correctness that aids and abets it. Whether that enabling is due to naivete, ignorance, bias, ideology, or willful blindness, the consequence is the same—the threat of radical Islam is increased. Many more Americans need to awaken to this reality—and one way to do so is to join us at the National Conference and Legislative Briefing in June.
