  5. US Attorney’s Response • “…Loewen’s alleged actions in no way…reflect on any religious group.” • But What Does the FBI’s Criminal Complaint Say?

  6. Loewen in His Own Words • “I have been studying subjects like jihad, martyrdom, and Shar’ia law. I don’t know how you can read the Qur’an… • “and not understand that jihad…is demanded of all Muslims…” • “I have numerous ideas of ways I could perform jihad in the path of Allah…” • “I must be active in some kind of jihad to feel I’m doing something proactive for the ummah”

  7. Another Blackout?

  8. Another Denial? • Ft. Hood: Work Place Violence • Little Rock: Drive-By • BokoHaram is “…trying to portray its philosophy as being a Muslim philosophy, and that’s just not accurate” Ambassador Robert Jackson, Dep. Asst. Sec. of State for Africa • AbubakarShekau: “It is either you are with jahideen, or you’re with the Christians. We know what is happening in this world. It is jihad war against Christians…This is what I know in Qur’an. Allah says we should finish them when we get them.”

  24. And Bob Barr Fundraiser

  25. Islamism in US Legal System • Censorship • Shar’ia Law in American Courts

  26. Free Speech “On the Ropes” • Political Correctness Targets Speech That Is: • Offensive • Patriotic • Pro-American • Critical of Others • Or Favorable to Christians or Jews • Silencing Speech = “…thousands of paper-cuts of well-intentioned exceptions designed to maintain social harmony.” • Or, TO SILENCE THE TRUTH

  27. Anti-Blasphemy Measures

  28. What Does the Theology Say? • Slander: “…to mention to your brother that which he would dislike.” • Talebearing: “…consists of revealing anything whose disclosure is resented.” And “A person should not speak of anything he notices about people… “besides that which benefits a Muslim to relate or prevent disobedience.”

  29. Organization of Islamic CooperationCairo Declaration of Human Rights 1990 • Art. 22: “Expression OK if not Contrary to Shar’ia” • Art. 24: “All rights and freedoms…are subject to Shar’ia.” • Art. 25: “Islamic Shar’ia the only source…for explanation or clarification of…the Declaration” and • “(human) rights…can only be assessed in terms of what Islamic law permits…where Islamic law is the only criteria (for resolving) any dispute…”

  30. Human Rights Council of UN“Resolution 16/18” March 2011 • Adopted to “combat intolerance, negative stereotyping and discrimination, incitement to violence…based on religion or belief.” • Called Members to: • “Adopt measures to criminalize incitement to imminent violence based on religion or belief.” • Supported by Obama Administration: • Hillary Clinton: “…use some old-fashioned techniques of peer pressure and shaming…”

  31. Bottom Line • Freedom of Speech Does Not Extend to Discussions of Islam • Islamic Anti-Blasphemy Rules Now Called “Human Rights Violations” or Hate Speech • When Religious Speech Leads to “Incitement to Imminent Violence” • And Should be Punished Criminally • Constitutes Islamophobia or “Slander Against Islam” • Truth is NO Defense if Speech Causes “Resentment” or Shame • Rather, “Test of Consequences”---If Violence Ensues, It’s the Speakers Fault

  32. We Need to be Vigilant • Slander= Malicious Lie + Harm to Another • Blasphemy=Saying the Truth + Resentment, Offense, or Discomfort to Muslim • Remember What Obama Said on Sept. 25, 2012: “The Future Must Not Belong to Those Who Slander the Prophet of Islam.”

  33. Manchester, TNJune 4, 2013 • Meeting Sponsored by American Muslim Advisory Council • US Attorney for Eastern District of Tennessee Will Apply Hate Crimes Statutes to Prosecute “…threats of violence “ Against Islam or Muslims • The Problem: “Threats of Violence” vs. “Depictions or Statements that Incite Islamic Violence” • All It Takes is a Cartoon or Video

  34. Brandeis University Caves: Cancels Honoree Degree & Speech

  36. The Problem • Majority of Cases Involve Family Law Matters Related to Child Custody, Visitation, Wife & Child Support, Protection Orders, & Divorce • The Result: US Citizens and Residents Are Being Denied Liberties, Rights, & Privileges Guaranteed by Our Constitution

  37. ALAC in America • Prevents Use of Foreign Law in State Courts that: • Violates Any Right Guaranteed by US and State Constitutions , such as: Due Process, Freedom of Religion, Speech, Assembly, or Press, OR Any Privacy Right • Already Law in Tennessee, Louisiana, Arizona, Kansas, Oklahoma, Alabama, Missouri, Florida & North Carolina • ALAC Laws Proposed in 20 Other States

  38. ALAC in Georgia • GOP Resolution May 18, 2013: • Supreme Court Justices Ginsburg & Kagan Say Foreign Law OK During Deliberations; • Georgia GOP “…abhors activist judges using foreign sources to resolve legal disputes.” • Resolve: “GA…courts do not use foreign law in resolving cases…” • Sen. Tommie Williams Sponsor of SR 808 & • Rep. Dustin Hightower Sponsor of HB 895 • Need to Wait Until Next Session

  39. WHY FEDERAL GOVERNMENT REMOVED ALL REFERENCES TO ISLAM • How the Obama Administration Has Purged All Training on Islamism at: • Department of Justice (FBI) • Department of Homeland Security • Department of Defense (Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines)

  40. 9/11 Commission • “What motivated the attackers was a seductive Jihadist Ideology rooted in Islamic law; “That has been lying dormant during the decline of the Ottoman Empire, “But has been revived and renewed in the Twentieth Century.”

  45. The Solution • Establish “…interagency task force, led by the White House, to: • “Purge all federal…training materials of biased materials: • “Implement a mandatory re-training program for…(those) subjected to biased training; • “…all trainers..who promoted biased (training) are effectively disciplined; • “…ensure bigoted trainers and biased materials are not developed or utilized in the future and: • “Issue guidance…that religious practice and political advocacy are protected…not indicators of violence and shall not be the basis for surveillance or investigation.”
