Never Forget?

What good are all our 9/11 memorial services if we allow sharia law to take over our country?

Many ardently claim that we shall never forget the heinous murders of 9-11.  But in fact, we need to constantly remember the goal of jihadists and actively repel their evil.

The mastermind of 9/11 Khalid Sheikh Mohammed designed the September 11 attacks. He told Dr. James Mitchell they did not need another massive Islamic attack to conquer us. They would use our civil liberties, our openness, and our hunger to honor other cultures — he called them gifts from Allah. The practical path for Islam to impose Sharia was immigration and outbreeding.

In 2004, Dr. Mitchell told our politicians Islam’s plans, but our leaders ignored him.

We need to sound the clarion call over the ever-increasing and alarming insidious takeover of America by people who despise our freedoms and our nation.

We can no longer stay quiet and acquiesce.  It is precisely what the jihadists want and what so many of our leaders and media expect.  We are still being attacked in the name of Islam.

Consider:

• The 2012 warning by Daniel Greenfield regarding the Mega Mosques Boom around the world.
• The 2018 “ultimate form of civilization jihad” planned for Michigan City.  It involved the move to convert a church to a mosque.
• This video highlights the mega mosques popping up in the U.S.
• What began in 2009 as a nondescript warehouse in Apex, North Carolina that has been transformed into the Apex Mosque — an expansive Islamic center that now serves as a hub for prayer services, Quranic indoctrination, and sharia-based educational programs
• The rural landscape of Katy, Texas being converted into a 30-acre Islamic mega-compound.
• A secretive $7.1-million mega mosque expansion in Arkansas being planned.  In fact, “behind closed doors in red-state Arkansas, Pakistani-born Sophia Said’s Madina Institute is quietly advancing plans for an 88,000-square-foot mosque complex with more than 500 parking spaces.”  The mosque was founded in 2016 and now seeks to acquire a much larger property.

As explained by the RAIR Foundation, these are examples of “the [Islamic] two-front strategy, or the internal/external strategy.”

the “Internal Society” shields citizens from the non-Islamic world. Here, Muslims live from cradle to grave under full Sharia rule: Sharia-compliant food and halal consumption, Sharia-compliant clothing and dress codes, Sharia banking and Islamic codes for commerce, Sharia schools, Sharia personal hygiene, Sharia healthcare, Sharia rulings and courts, and even Sharia burials.

Simultaneously,

the “External Society” forms the second prong of this insidious strategy, aimed at penetrating every facet of Western society to propagate Islam and seize power. These networks deploy what RAIR calls “radicals with a smile” — polished front-facing organizations, charismatic Islamic leaders, and sympathetic legislators — who cloak their agenda in the rhetoric of inclusion, diversity, and tolerance to exploit America’s constitutional freedoms, democratic institutions, and cultural norms.

Think Zohran Mamdani, anyone?

This is in line with the 1982 Muslim Brotherhood document titled “Toward a Global Strategy for Islamic Policy.”  Also known as “The Project,” it was entered into the official congressional record hearing of February 10, 2026, titled “Sharia-Free America: Why Political Islam & Sharia Law Are Incompatible with the U.S. Constitution.”

In fact, throughout America,

Muslims are making inroads, convincing many that any criticism of them, no matter how warranted, is merely that impermissible thing, “Islamophobia.” They have been fielding more than 600 candidates for political office at every level — local, state, and federal. The number of Muslims in the House is likely to triple after November’s election. Abdul el-Sayed may become the first Muslim Senator.

The incremental advancement of sharia in Michigan’s Muslim enclaves includes female genital mutilation, honor violence, and polygamy.

Islamist political machines are threatening America.  Patriotic Americans may seethe as they see Mayor Mamdani hand a pen to Ramzi Kassem, a defender of an al-Qaeda terrorist.  But will the outrage result in Americans demanding a meaningful and irrevocable end to the Islamic desire to defeat America?

Why are we just standing by while this revolutionary partnership [Red-Green alliance of Islam and Communism] snowballs? When are Americans going to draw a line, declare that Communism and Islam have no place in our republic, and then root out both these subversive movements? Because until we do, our existential enemies will continue to exploit our freedoms and our complacency until it is too late for a political solution.

Instead, political correctness, “cultural relativism, claims of ‘racism!’ combined with tragic ignorance still inform our public discourse.”  In fact, “the unfortunate truth is that non-Muslims have every reason to fear the violence and absolutism that have yet to be fully decommissioned in Islamic scriptures and in Islamic practice.”

But there is pushback.  As more Americans perceive Islam’s intentions, they cannot be manipulated by its deceptive and manipulative influences.

In fact, “10% is the percentage at which knowledge becomes mainstream and accepted by the majority.”  So facts, truth, and transparency are critical.

Amy Mek highlights British lawyer Gavin Boby — known as the “Mosque Buster” — who “exposes how mosque construction drives Islamic conquest through staged Islamization, warns that projects like Epic City in Texas signal a broader civilizational threat, and calls on communities to organize, fund, and legally fight back before the West is lost.”

Boby asserts that “[a] mosque isn’t just a place of worship — it is a territorial claim.”  He highlights the fact that “once a mosque is built, the message is clear: ‘This is our area now.’”

Boby points out that the “blueprint for Islamic enclaves follows a predictable pattern, beginning with the establishment of a mosque and culminating in the forced displacement of non-Muslims through intimidation tactics, economic manipulation, and social pressure.”

Furthermore,

Congressman Chip Roy (R-TX), co-chair of the Sharia Free America Caucus introduced the Inhibiting Militant Adversarial Mullahs (IMAM) Act, decisive legislation designed to protect American sovereignty and security. The bill amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to deny nonimmigrant religious worker visas to foreign Imams, Shaykhs, Muftis, Ayatollahs, and other Islamic religious leaders who promote Sharia Law, political Islam, anti-American hatred, or ideologies hostile to our Constitution and Western civilization.

In fact,

for years, adversarial clerics have exploited loopholes in our visa system to enter the United States under the guise of religious ministry. Once here, they spread Islamist teachings that directly contradict American values of liberty, equality, and individual rights. They have used our own openness against us, fostering extremism, division, and parallel societies that threaten our national cohesion. Europe’s painful experience with imported radical preachers — resulting in no-go zones, honor violence, and rising terrorism — serves as a clear warning. America must act now before these patterns become entrenched in our communities.

Founded in 2007 by Brigitte Gabriel,

the group ACT for America is calling on every state legislature to take a bold stand by establishing its own Sharia-Free Caucus. Patriots serving in legislatures across the country must publicly commit to preventing the spread of this anti-American ideology. This should not be controversial. Sharia is anti-constitutional, anti-woman, and anti-American.

Alabama Senator Tommy Tuberville felt the ire of CAIR for his exposing the truth.

The indefatigable Pamela Geller shows how Americans did fight back against the insidious Islamic supremacists who intended to build a 16-story mega-mosque at Ground Zero in a building destroyed in the 9-11 attacks.

But Geller warns us that “the best, most informed voices on this subject are still demonized, marginalized and disregarded — intellectuals like Bat Ye’or, Ibn Warraq, Wafa Sultan, Robert Spencer, Dr. Andrew Bostom, et al.  These thought leaders, historians, and political theorists should be informing policy and leading institutions whose mission is to thwart the jihad force in the West.  We’re not even close.”

Geller explains that “jihad terrorists are given enormous platforms to spew their poison, are lauded by the sharia compliant media and getting elected into Congress.”

The jihadists never stop in their desire for total conquest.  If we really mean that we should never forget, then we need to gird ourselves and not once ever surrender to them.
