here you will find the 2009 Year in Review, and plans for 2010.
Trento: Muslim Capitol Day is an event organized by Ahmed Bedier’s United Voices for America (UVA). Bedier is the former Executive Director of CAIR, Tampa. His ties to the extremist Muslim Brotherhood and pro-terror sympathies are well-documented. He even served as spokesman for convicted Palestinian-terrorism supporter Sami al-Arian. Bedier is the President of UVA, an organization he founded just in advance of the FBI’s severance of “official” ties with CAIR. The purpose of Muslim Capitol Day is to deceive lawmakers into believing UVA is a benign civil rights organization, representing disenfranchised minorities and immigrants on such issues as healthcare and education. Since CAIR was founded by HAMAS (Muslim Brotherhood of Palestine), and UVA was founded by a CAIR operative, this makes UVA the grandchild of a terrorist organization whose only reason for being is to wage a global Jihad against non-Muslims. Of course, there is no freedom of religion or civil rights, or human rights for minorities, women, gays or non Muslims under any regime ruled by Sharia Law. UVA’s choice of “advocacy” is certainly a perverted irony.
Trento: Quite simply: this is the Stealth Jihad coming to Tallahassee. It is all about gaining political legitimacy and media credibility in order to infiltrate government and civic institutions for the purpose of furthering the goals of the Muslim Brotherhood in America. The grand scheme is to slowly introduce special Sharia-friendly concepts into official public life. For example: in education this means ensuring that Islam is promoted in a positive manner in K-12 schools, through mandatory curricula and textbook oversight. So the concept of Jihad is whitewashed and presented as some sort of personal, inner-struggle, instead of the violent means of establishing totalitarianism that it actually is. For law-enforcement, it means mandatory “Muslim Sensitivity” training. For official public life it means the participation of Radical Imams at public invocations. Legislatively it means the introduction of so-called “Hate Speech” laws, which would make it a crime to offend anyone with a truthful discussion of Islam. If this agenda is successful in Florida, it will become the model for all other States. This would truly represent the end of America as we know it.
Trento: In 2009 we visited Tallahassee with the limited goal of warning lawmakers about Ahmed Bedier and his group, UVA. We put together 30+page briefing kits and hand-delivered them to each Legislators’ offices. We were able to have many one-on-one meetings with lawmakers and staff. Importantly, we did not ask them to refuse to meet with the UVA members, only to be aware of the origins of this group, and to be wary of its hidden agenda. The team we assembled included leaders of concerned organizations, representing the interests of millions of Floridians. The press conference featured speakers who are recognized authorities on issues of national security and the Muslim Brotherhood in America. Most lawmakers are well-versed in issues of domestic importance at the State level. Many are simply unaware of national security issues as they impact Florida. The Stealth Jihad is a difficult concept to convey. This was the territory covered by myself and Dr. Rich Swier (FSC), Adam Hasner (Florida House Majority Leader), Frank Gaffney, (Center for Security Policy) Joe Kaufman (Americans Against Hate), Kelly Cook (ACT for America), Dr. Rich Trento (US Army Lt. Col., retired); Martin Mawer (Christian Action Network), and you. Visitors to can read the entire dossier on Ahmed Bedier and view the video of the press conference, as well as other material.
Gordon: What is the current schedule for the FSC protest of Muslim Capitol day in Tallahassee?
Gordon: Who are some of the America on Guard program speakers and their backgrounds?
as well as a representative of the American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ), a non-profit organization working for the defense of religious liberties and a client (also an apostate) whom the ACLJ successfully defended. Rabbi Jon Hausman will be travelling to Tallahassee from Boston in order to discuss the folly and dangers of many interfaith outreach efforts with the Muslim community. Other speakers are still being confirmed. In-depth bios will be found at the FSC website.
Gordon: What materials will FSC distribute to lawmakers and the media?
Trento: We will distribute DVD’s of the Muslim Mafia video that connects the dots of Progressive Islam, and handouts featuring highlights of the full briefing packet that is available online. We hope everyone will take the time to view and share the video, and visit the website.
Gordon: What grassroots activist groups have indicated that they would attend the America on Guard protest event in Tallahassee?
Gordon: What other major projects does FSC have under consideration following the Muslim Capitol Day protest in Tallahassee?
