ACT for America is probably in the forefront in America in educating about radical Islam and Stealth Jihad to infiltrate American government agencies and congresses on a Federal and State level to make it possible to achieve special favors for Islamic adherents that desire Sharia Law to evolve into the law of the land rather than the U.S. Constitution.
The successes of ACT for America has not gone unnoticed by Muslim-American organizations that claim the moniker of “moderate” when in fact nearly every large Muslim-American organization has connections to the radical Islam of the Muslim Brotherhood or the Wahhabi influence of Saudi Arabia.
Legal Jihad has been an effective tool for Muslim-American organizations to silence those that expose the agenda of radical Islam in America. One of the biggest thorns to the lying Muslim-American organizations is that the Holy Land Foundation (HLF) trial and convictions has exposed just how connected they are to the Muslim Brotherhood and the Palestinian proxy terrorist group Hamas.
Muslim-American organizations have begun the strategy learned from the Islamic terrorists of the Arabs that call themselves Palestinians. That strategy is to twist facts, fabricate and stage scenes to place blame on others and the good old fashioned outright lie.
Thus ACT for America is mobilizing a campaign to find 400 stable donators that are willing to give $19 monthly in order to meet the challenges of Legal Jihad and Stealth Jihad that now is focused on discrediting the credibility of ACT for America.
Below are two emails that brilliantly make the case for joining ACT for America’s Patriot Partner Program.

Fight against sharia gets white hot!

The fight against sharia heats up. Will the desperate propaganda campaign launched against us stop our momentum? Only if we let it.
The “experts” say every email like this needs to have all kinds of pictures and graphics. I’m hoping that the IMPORTANCE of what I’m writing you today—and what’s at stake RIGHT NOW—will be enough to grab your attention so you’ll take a few minutes to read the rest of this email.
Why? Because we are at a very critical time in our effort to defeat radical Islam.
How do I know? Because I’ve been involved in dozens of hotly contested political campaigns and legislative efforts since 1986. And every one of them had pivotal points where the fight was won or lost.

How do I know? Because I’ve been involved in dozens of hotly contested political campaigns and legislative efforts since 1986. And every one of them had pivotal points where the fight was won or lost.
Early this year we introduced legislation titled “American Laws for American Courts” in over two dozen states. The bill prohibits state courts from using foreign laws, and by implication sharia law, in court decisions in areas such as family law.
We succeeded in getting the bill passed in Tennessee and Arizona and came close to passage in several other states—and with more resources we would have succeeded in those states.
This is a GIANT step in erecting a firewall against sharia law in America. How do I know? Because of the intensity, ferocity, and dishonesty of the push back coming from our opposition.
They know how important these victories are. Muslim Brotherhood front organizations and their enablers have become so frightened by our victories they are pulling out the stops in a desperate, fever pitch effort to try to keep us from winning any more victories.

· For instance, they have put out at least five so-called “reports” in just the past five months that claim to document a rising “Islamophobia” in America. What these reports amount to is a slick disinformation, name-calling propaganda campaign designed to intimidate organizations like ACT! for America.
· A state representative in Michigan, a Muslim, went so far as to preposterously and falsely claim that support for “American Laws for America Courts” is “racism at its core.”
Our opponents know what’s at stake—and the stakes right now are HIGH.
They know if we succeed in erecting legislative firewalls against sharia across the country, the efforts of the Muslim Brotherhood—to impose sharia law on America—will be severely damaged!
Will we be able to continue to stoke the fires of our momentum? Or will the coordinated propaganda campaign of our opponents seize the momentum from us?
Part of the answer depends on you.
With our current level of resources, we believe we can get “American Laws for American Courts” passed in at least six states in 2012. But it’s clear our opponents are going to employ every propaganda tactic they can to deceive legislators, the media, and the public, to keep this from happening.
This is one reason why we created our new resource “Unmasking the Enemy Among Us: Information Warfare and the Muslim Brotherhood.”
We are making this resource kit available to anyone who will sign up as a Patriot Partner and commit to a $19 per month contribution.
Our goal is 400 new Patriot Partners. Why?
Because, with your help, with the additional financial resources this Patriot Partner campaign will provide, we can ramp up our efforts this fall and early next year in our nationwide legislative effort to prevent our state courts from using sharia law.

· We will be able to effectively organize the educational and grassroots efforts on behalf of that bill in more states.
· We will be able to successfully fight back against the lies that will be fed to legislators and the media.
· We can thus pass the bill in more than six states!
This is why we need your help today, because what’s at stake, right now, is whether we can continue to successfully push forward and capitalize on our momentum, or whether our opposition’s disinformation propaganda campaign will succeed.
They’re throwing everything they can at us, but I can assure you, Brigitte Gabriel won’t be intimidated by this disinformation campaign. Nor will I. But we need your support so we have the necessary resources to fight back!

All we need, to ensure we have the financial resources to blunt the desperate and dishonest counterattack of our opponents and keep our legislative momentum going, is for 400 people to sign up to be Patriot Partners at $19 per month. As of today we are 1/3 of the way to our goal.
This is just 63 cents per day—less than a cup of coffee.
63 cents per day to fuel our momentum, win more legislative victories, blunt the desperate counterattacks of our opponents, and deal a crippling blow to the Muslim Brotherhood.
How important is your 63 cents per day?
If we succeed in repulsing the frantic propaganda attack against us, we’ll demonstrate to our friends AND our enemies that such propaganda tactics will not prevail. We’ll disarm our opponents, whose only tactic is to engage in this kind of propaganda. We’ll throw a giant wet blanket on their efforts which will really discourage them—not just now, but in the future.
But if our opponents succeed in slowing us down with these dishonest attacks, they will become emboldened. They will re-double their efforts.
This is why I say this is a pivotal, crucial time in this struggle against radical Islam.

Become a $19 a month Patriot Partner—Help us continue our successful fight against sharia law so the same thing doesn’t happen here!
Over two years ago, a UK Daily Mail article reported that sharia law courts were far more prevalent in Britain than people realized, with 85 sharia courts operating.
The Muslim Council in Britain’s response was that the report was “stirring up hatred.” That’s the same tired refrain we’re hearing in the U.S.
Now see the latest stunning report, below, from Germany (highlights added).
The Muslim Brotherhood’s information warfare and plan to subvert the West and impose sharia law is so well advanced in countries like Germany and Britain that it may well be too late for them to reverse it.

But it isn’t too late for us. We are fighting back. We are turning the tide. We are winning legislative victories to stop sharia law, and we’re going to fight to win more. Our opponents are running scared and are on the defensive.

Islamic Sharia Law Proliferates in Germany

The spread of Islamic Sharia law in Germany is far more advanced than previously thought, and German authorities are "powerless" to do anything about it, according to a new book about the Muslim shadow justice system in Germany.
The 236-page book titled "Judges Without Law: Islamic Parallel Justice Endangers Our Constitutional State," which was authored by Joachim Wagner, a German legal expert and former investigative journalist for ARD German public television, says Islamic Sharia courts are now operating in all of Germany's big cities.
This "parallel justice system" is undermining the rule of law in Germany, Wagner says, because Muslim arbiters-cum-imams are settling criminal cases out of court without the involvement of German prosecutors or lawyers before law enforcement can bring the cases to a German court.
Settlements reached by the Muslim mediators often mean perpetrators are able to avoid long prison sentences, while victims receive large sums in compensation or have their debts cancelled, in line with Sharia law, according to Wagner. In return, they are required to make sure their testimony in court does not lead to a conviction.
German police do investigate cases involving serious crimes. But parallel to that, special Muslim arbitrators, also known as "peace judges," are commissioned by the families concerned to mediate and reach an out-of-court settlement.
In an interview with the German broadcaster Deutsche Welle, Wagner said political correctness in Germany is contributing to the problem: "I've studied 16 recent crime cases here with Muslim citizens involved. In almost 90% of all cases where Muslim arbitrators were commissioned, the perpetrators were acquitted by German courts or the cases were dropped altogether by the prosecution for lack of evidence. It's an alarming finding, and it throws a bad light on our courts."
In fact, German judges often refer and/or defer to Sharia law. For example, the Federal Social Court in Kassel recently supported the claim of a second wife for a share of her dead husband's pension payments, which his first wife wanted to keep all to herself. The judge ruled they should share the pension.
In another case, the Administrative Appeals Court in Koblenz granted the second wife of an Iraqi living in Germany, the right to stay in the country. She had already been married to him and living in Germany for five years, after which the court said it would not be fair to send her to Iraq alone.
A judge in Cologne ruled that an Iranian man should repay his wife's dowry of 600 gold coins to her after their divorce – referring to the Sharia which is followed in Iran. A court in Düsseldorf arrived at a similar verdict, forcing a Turkish man to repay a €30,000 ($43,000) dowry to his former daughter-in-law.
In March 2007, Judge Christa Datz-Winter, a judge at Frankfurt's family court cited the Islamic Koran in a divorce case involving a 26-year-old German woman of Moroccan origin, who was terrified of her violent Moroccan husband, a man who had continued to threaten her despite having been ordered to stay away by the authorities. He had beaten his wife and he had allegedly threatened to kill her.
Judge Datz-Winter refused to grant the divorce, arguing that a woman who marries a Muslim should know what she is getting herself into. In her ruling, the judge quoted Sura 4, verse 34 of the Koran. She wrote that the Koran contains "both the husband's right to use corporal punishment against a disobedient wife and the establishment of the husband's superiority over the wife." [(ACT] Editor’s Note: This is essentially the same reasoning used by a New Jersey judge in 2009 when he denied a restraining order sought by a Muslim woman against her husband who was sexually assaulting her several times a day.]
In February 2011, Germany's Federal Labor Court ruled that a Muslim supermarket employee can refuse to handle alcohol on religious grounds. The case in question involved a Muslim man who was employed in a supermarket in the northern German city of Kiel. He refused to stock shelves with alcoholic drinks, saying that his religion forbade him from any contact with alcohol, and was dismissed as a result in March 2008.
In an interview with the German newsmagazine Der Spiegel, Wagner described the Islamic shadow justice system in Germany as "very foreign, and for a German lawyer, completely incomprehensible at first. It follows its own rules. The Islamic arbitrators aren't interested in evidence when they deliver a judgment, and unlike in German criminal law, the question of who is at fault doesn't play much of a role."
When Der Spiegel asked why it was wrong for two parties to try to resolve a dispute between themselves, Wagner replied: "The problem starts when the arbitrators force the justice system out of the picture, especially in the case of criminal offenses. At that point they undermine the state monopoly on violence. Islamic conflict resolution in particular, as I've experienced it, is often achieved through violence and threats. It's often a dictate of power on the part of the stronger family."
Wagner's findings largely confirm a report published by the German Interior Ministry in 2009 which warned that Islamic groups in Germany want to live under Sharia law in Germany.

[SlantRight Editor: The ACT email ends here. Below is the continuation of the rest of the article.]
Wagner's book comes at a time when Germany is immersed in a heated national debate over Muslim immigration. That debate was launched in August 2010 with the publication of a best-selling book titled "Germany Does Away With Itself," which broke Germany's long-standing taboo on discussing the impact of Muslim immigration.
Authored by Thilo Sarrazin, a renowned German banker who is also a long-time member of the center-left Social Democratic Party (SPD), the book is now on its 20th edition. At last count, more than 1.5 million copies have been sold, making it one of the most widely read titles in Germany since the Second World War.
Sarrazin's book has resonated with vast numbers of ordinary Germans who are becoming increasingly uneasy about the social changes that are transforming Germany, largely due to the presence of millions of non-integrated Muslims in the country.
German President Christian Wulff has tried to defuse the row ignited by Sarrazin. During a keynote speech to mark the 20th anniversary of German reunification on October 3, 2010, Wulff proclaimed that "Islam belongs in Germany" because of the four million Muslims who now live there. Germany has Western Europe's second-biggest Islamic population after France, with Turks the single biggest minority.
Opinion polls, however, show broad public support for Sarrazin's argument that many Muslim immigrants shut themselves off from Germany, do not speak German and do not share the German, European or Western worldview.
According to a poll conducted by the mass-circulation Bild am Sonntag, 89% of those surveyed say Sarrazin's arguments are convincing. "For them, Sarrazin is somebody who is finally saying what many are thinking," according to the pollsters.
The Friedrich Ebert Foundation, a think tank linked to the center-left Social Democratic Party (SPD), recently published a survey which found that many Germans believe their country is being "overrun" by Muslim immigrants. It also found that these views are not isolated at the extremes of German society, but are to a large degree "at the center of it."
An opinion survey, "Perception and Acceptance of Religious Diversity," conducted by the sociology department of the University of Münster, in partnership with the prestigious TNS Emnid political polling firm, shows that only 34% of West Germans and 26% of East Germans have a positive view of Muslims. Fewer than 5% of Germans think Islam is a tolerant religion, and only 30% say they approve of the building of mosques. The number of Germans who approve of the building of minarets or the introduction of Muslim holidays is even lower.
Fewer than 10% of West Germans and 5% of East Germans say that Islam is a peaceful religion. More than 40% of Germans believe that the practice of Islam should be vigorously restricted.
Only 20% of Germans believe that Islam is suitable for the Western world. Significantly, and more than 80% of Germans agree with the statement "that Muslims must adapt to our culture."
As the political winds shift, so are German politicians. After initially distancing herself from Sarrazin's views, German Chancellor Angela Merkel recently said Germany's roots are Judeo-Christian. She also said: "Now we obviously have Muslims in Germany. But it is important in regard to Islam that the values represented by Islam must correspond with our constitution. What applies here is the constitution, not Sharia law."
But the proliferation of Sharia law in Germany suggests Merkel is mistaken: Sharia law now does apply in Germany.
