Yesterday, the Washington Times published an op-ed by Frank Gaffney Jr., president of the Center for Security Policy in Washington. The piece entitled, “War of ideas’ homefront” raises the important issue we have been addressing here at RRW, and that is that there is not just a military war on terror but the ideological war here at home. Except for a few brave souls willing to speak out in alarm, we are bit by bit accomodating the demands of Islamic fundamentalists whose goal it is to someday see sharia law (Islamic law) replace our Constitution.
One such demand is on display in New York City where taxpayer funds will soon create within the public school system a special Islamic school, or a madrassa as it is called. The brave souls fighting this plan are a small band of parents and concerned citizens calling themselves Stop the Madrassa Coalition and their blog http://stopthemadrassa.wordpress.com
I’m proud to say that this blog is our sister blog at the Center for Vigilant Freedom where blogging is not just for educating, but more importantly for community organizing.
As the numbers of Muslim immigrants grow in the US, there will be increasing demands for special accomadations, in all of our towns and cities, for the strict requirements of the fundamentalist form of Islam. Soon it will be Burlington, VT, Ft. Morgan, CO, Warren, MI, or a city near you.
