This week Dr. Jasser looks at the Islamist terror attack and assassination attempt against Salman Rushdie. He will answer questions very few have addressed. What in God’s name will it take to get the West unsettled? How this attack in more ways than one demonstrates how miserably the West has let its guard down. Why free speech is the central battlefront against political Islam and its global jihad. How do the domestic and global military and theological fronts in the war of ideas against Islamists in Iran all come to head in what happened to Sir Salman Rushdie? Why does France put Britain and the rest of the West to shame in how they have finally confronted Islamism?
Zuhdi also looks at CAIR’s loss in the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in its efforts to muzzle and punish a professor of politics and terrorism at Scottsdale Community College. Why should all anti-jihadist activists be unsettled by the attack and its muted fallout?
Sincerely,
Your friends at the AIFD

Dr. Jasser joined David Foster on his program “Roundtable” on TRT World UK. Dr. Jasser debated Farid Hafez of the Bridge Initiative, Austria and Massoud Shadjareh of the Islamic Human Rights Commission in the UK.
Not only did we find this debate fascinating in the context of what’s happening in Austria and France but also that it happened on TRT World– Turskish state television, an Islamist government run press agency.
While there is a lot more to discuss, this start is a “must watch” debate that runs to the core of our mission at AIFD. Threading the needle of freedom, protecting Western values, defeating Islamism, while maintaining our personal faith of Islam and worship of God.
AIFD directly confronts the ideas of political Islam and openly counters the common belief that the Muslim faith is rooted to the concept of the Islamic State (Islamism – the belief that Islam should guide social and political as well as personal life). We stand firmly for universal human rights – including gender equality, freedom of conscience, and freedom of speech and expression.
