On Thursday September 30^th, the Northern Virginia Chapter of Act! for America held a Meeting featuring founder and President Brigette Gabriel and author / counterterrorism expert David Gaubatz, who wrote the book Muslim Mafia – an Exposé

    Act! For America is the nation’s largest issues advocacy organization dedicated to mobilizing the most powerful grassroots citizen action network in America – largely at the local level. Act! is committed to informed and coordinated civic action that will lead to public policies that promote America’s national security and the defense of American democratic values against the assault of radical Islam and the spread of Islamofascism and Mr. Gaubatz and Ms. Gabriel now regularly travel the nation addressing various local groups on radical Islam and The event on Thursday was sponsored by the local chapter of ACT! For America

     The Northern Virginia event featured several speakers and attendees who collectively addressed issues such as Islam creeping into curriculum in local schools, the continued affirmation by the Obama administration of Muslim brotherhood front-groups like CAIR (an unregistered foreign agent under the Foreign Agent Registration Act)

“I witnessed this growing up in a bomb shelter in Lebanon watching media reports that never seemed to line up with what we Christians in Lebanon were experiencing at the hands of militant Muslims. I saw this again as news anchor of World News for Middle East Television in the 1980s, as I reported on the rise of Islamic terrorism.”

Bottom line from Act! For America:  Radical Islamists are in this country and have become masters of media manipulation – a task made quite simple by the degree of willful neglect and political correctness so epidemic in the media and among world leaders. They have had decades of practice to learn how willfully gullible much of the Western press is when it comes to their alleged grievances and their claims of victimization.

Today, Islamists are emboldened by an administration that is incapable of defining ‘jihad’ and President Obama has made clear by his actions that he sees Israel as the barrier to peace in the Mideast. Islamists expect the very response they are now getting from much of the world community, the media, and the Obama administration in the wake of the Gaza Flotilla incident. However, this much is true: there is now a professional organization dedicated to defeating the spread of sharia in the United States.
