Secure Freedom Minute

When Donald Trump was asked by Glenn Beck this week whether he would be prepared to prohibit Islam’s strategy for conquest known as sharia, the President forthrightly said, “I would absolutely prohibit the sharia law thing.” 

With that pathbreaking statement, Mr. Trump established that he recognizes, and is determined to oppose, not only Communist efforts to take down our country from within, but also those of the other part of the “Red-Green axis” – namely, seditious  sharia-supremacists. 

The timing is truly providential. Republican leaders from across America will gather shortly in a Midterm Convention in Dallas. They can – and must –translate Mr. Trump’s clarity into a national platform, impressing upon voters that now is a “time of choosing” between the freedom their party has historically championed and the slavery Democrats have relentlessly enabled, and their Marxist-jihadist candidates portend today.

Donald Trump's interview yesterday with Glenn Beck featured a momentous exchange about Islam's strategy for conquest known as Sharia. The president responded to a question about taking action to prohibit it by saying, among other things, "I would absolutely prohibit the Sharia law thing".

The timing of this pathbreaking statement is truly providential. It clears the way for Republican leaders from across the country to stand in their upcoming midterm convention against the totalitarians of the Sharia supremacist stripe and the communist one; both are being embraced by Democrats, even though they aspire to take down our constitutional republic and by so doing, enslave our people.

From its founding, the GOP has been the party of freedom, and offering the American people a choice between liberty and modern-day slavery is a defining issue and a basis for successfully nationalizing these elections.

Two weeks from today, Republican leaders from all over America will be convening in Dallas with basically one thing on their minds. How to win the midterm elections? 

In addition to addressing obvious topics including the economy, immigration, and election integrity, Republicans have an opportunity – and a duty – to draw a stark contrast with their Democrat opponents, especially the Marxist and sharia-supremacist ones. 

From its founding, the GOP has been the party of freedom, while the Democrats have historically supported slavery – including, after many decades of fighting its abolition, their use of the Great Society welfare state to perpetuate suppression and exploitation of black Americans. 

Today’s Democrat Communists and jihadists want to enslave us all.

We’re in a moment Ronald Reagan famously described as “a time for choosing.” Republicans must use their Convention to make the choice of freedom over slavery.

Yesterday was Economic D-Day for Iran. Just as the success of World War II’s kinetic one ultimately destroyed Hitler’s regime, this one must finally liberate the Iranian people from their sharia-supremacist oppressors in Tehran. 

In unveiling “Operation Economic Outcast,” Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent declared that, “Beginning today, the actions of Treasury and other agencies will…block every potential source of revenue that funds the IRGC and the Iranian regime. We are enforcing a zero-leakage approach. There will be no minimal breathing space for the regime to rebuild its capacity to inflict terror against America and the world.”

Particularly heartening is Secretary Bessent’s affirmation that President Trump will apply such intensified economic restrictions universally, including secondary sanctions on “those who tether themselves to Tehran” and, therefore, “should expect to share in the isolation of a withering regime.” 

Let’s roll!

It’s Past Time for a Mosque Moratorium.

There’s a growing awareness that the ongoing and accelerating proliferation of Muslim mosques across America is a problem. 

Communities are discovering, usually very late in the game, that land has been stealthily purchased and plans submitted to zoning authorities to build large “Islamic centers”. If the applications comply with local ordinances, they are typically approved by local authorities, for example recently in McKinney, Texas. 

As a short video at BanSharia.com makes clear, however, the trouble is that such mosques inherently represent national and homeland security threats. From Mohammed’s time til now,  sharia-supremacists have used them as facilities to indoctrinate and weaponize Muslim communities and equip, plot and train for violent jihad.

There should be an immediate moratorium on further mosque permitting and construction while the magnitude of the present danger posed by those already in operation is investigated and corrective actions taken.

Thankfully, with today’s publication of America’s 100 Years War: How to Win Against Communism, Dr. Bradley Thayer has offered not only a compelling insight into the history of a toxic ideology, but a call to action against it that can no longer be deferred.

A highly regarded academic, national security practitioner and founding member of our Committee on the Present Danger: China, Dr. Thayer has long recognized, warned about and led the intellectual resistance to the metastasizing threat posed by Communists, foreign and domestic.

Brad’s new book could not be more timely and needed. This fall’s elections will see Communists and their jihadist allies making a concerted effort to gain power as Democratic candidates. Republicans must return to their party’s roots, born of the abolitionist movement and its defense of freedom, in our time against those that would enslave us all.

Although a Marxist-jihadist is the mayor of New York City, another is Michigan Democrats’ candidate for the U.S. Senate and the communist Democratic Socialists of America and Muslim Brotherhood’s CAIR are clearly partnering, we’re being told there’s no such thing as the “Red-Green axis.” 

In fact, despite differences over who ultimately will run the world, the radical left and sharia-supremacists share an immediate objective: Destroying the United States that stands in their way, from within and as quickly as possible.

President Trump has of late rightly been warning about the communists in our midst and their increasing dominance of what he calls the “Dumbocrats.” He must now do the same with respect to their jihadist allies. 

And the Republican Party must make a powerful defense of the Constitution and our freedoms against both of these enemies a voting issue this fall.

Yesterday, the BanSharia.com Coalition rolled out the next phase of its “Save Texas, Save America Campaign” with an hour-long presentation I made on Steve Bannon’s War Room. It lays out a plan for raising public awareness about and taking corrective actions in response to the threat posed to our Constitution and Republic by Islam’s political-military-legal strategy for conquest known as “sharia.”

That strategy requires emulation of the so-called “perfect man,” the prophet Mohammed, including horrible mistreatment of, among others, women, children, non-Muslims and even dogs.

Mohammed practiced slavery and his followers have enslaved billions ever since. Today, sharia-adherent Muslims continue to buy and sell other humans and – if successful in making sharia the supreme law of the land here, instead of our Constitution – all of us would be compelled to submit to its brutal repression.

President Trump has expressed frustration with his South Korean counterpart, Lee Jae Myung, over his unwillingness to help the U.S. in the Strait of Hormuz. In response, American participation in annual military exercises with the Republic of Korea has been cut back. 

Mr. Trump is right to be upset with Lee, but has plenty of other reasons -- and a more pointed and desirable vehicle for expressing it. The South Korean president is a Communist, fraudulently elected and moving aggressively to transform his country from a thriving, pro-American democracy into a despotic state aligned with Beijing and Pyongyang.

As a new open letter to President Trump sponsored by the Committee on the Present Danger: China makes clear, he can and should rebuke Lee by insisting on the freeing of a former top Trump diplomat, Ambassador Morse Tan, being held hostage in Seoul. That must end now.

Since Islam’s founding, its prophet Mohammed has been deemed the perfect man whose every act and directive is to be emulated by his followers. That has included his use of mosques as not just houses of worship, but as arsenals for plotting, preparing and waging jihad. 

So, when the McKinney, Texas city council recently voted unanimously to ignore widespread public opposition to approve the construction of another of these sharia-adherent “forward operating bases” there, its members failed in their duty to protect constituents and other Texans. Thankfully, there’s a move afoot to have them recalled. 

In addition, with the accelerating proliferation of such facilities, that state’s governor, Greg Abbott, should declare a moratorium on further permitting or construction of mosques until the threat posed by the existing critical infrastructure of jihad can be properly evaluated and corrective actions taken.
