There’s an old expression that goes like this:
“How do you eat an elephant? Answer: One bite at a time.”
It is wise advice when facing tasks that at first blush seem insurmountable.
In confronting the threat of Islamofascism, that axiom could be restated as follows:
“How do you roll back the rising tide of Islamofascism? Answer: One victory at a time.”
The story below illustrates how effective local grassroots opposition to the advance of militant Islam can be. It doesn’t take huge numbers of people to win victories like the one below. But it does take some organized effort in the local community. This is why we believe so strongly in our mission to create a formidable local chapter national citizen action network, and why we ask for your help in doing so.
Cultural Jihad succeeds when people in a society are asleep or refuse to recognize the threat. Great Britain’s experience with Cultural Jihad is instructive in this regard.
The call to Jihad is being proclaimed in mosques right here in America. Help us bring national attention to this threat by signing our petition calling on Congress to conduct hearings to review extremist materials that have been distributed in American mosques.
And be encouraged by the story below!!

United American Committee, May 19, 2008
For Immediate Release
The Central Florida chapter of the United American Committee uncovered a cultural Jihad happening within the Seminole County school system earlier this month. The UAC found out the public school system was allowing a group called A.L.I. (Academy for learning Islam) to speak in the classroom under a program called the Dividends Program & Speakers Bureau. A.L.I. moved its headquarters less than one year ago to Sanford, FL from Canada and has ties to Syria, Iran, and Saudi Arabia.
Upon investigation the U.A.C. of Central Florida uncovered information on their school infiltration plan and notified Eric Rasmussen of Chanel 9 News. Chanel 9 News aired the story speaking to parents, a School Board rep, and Hasnain Kassamali of A.L.I. The overwhelming response from students and parents alike were against the Academy For Learning Islam and their attempts at cultural indoctrination of unsuspecting students to the tenets of Islamic religious and political doctrine.
To read a prior news story about this:
http://www.wftv.com/news/15982456/detail.html
The Seminole County School Board admitted that A.L.I. missionaries wrongly presented Islam specific religious material in violation of separation of Church and State laws.
Equally unsettling, the three A.L.I. missionaries were never screened before being allowed access to the students in violation of the Dividends Programs safety rules.
The concerned parents and students provided information to the U.A.C. which included a PDF file of a history book that contained approximately 38 pages on Islam but only one each on Christians and Jews. The U.A.C. questions this blatant disregard for equal access when textbooks favor Islam over the other world religions.
540 AM WFLA radio talk show host Bud Heddinger spent one hour discussing the subject. Mr. Heddinger’s producer contacted A.L.I. to get their side of the story but nobody would agree to an interview.
BREAKING NEWS: The Academy For Learning Islam (A.L.I.) has been permanently removed the Dividends and Speaker’s Bureau programs of the Seminole County Public School System. We are extremely proud of this victory and could not have done it alone. All the people who wrote emails, made phone calls, and spoke to the school board, your messages were heard loud and clear. This is a significant accomplishment removing A.L.I.s’ access to Seminole County students after repeatedly violating the school boards rules.
