Jerusalem Post's Caroline Glick added to roster of experts at Dallas
event
Caroline Glick
Amid increasing confusion over Iran's nuclear weapons capacity,
organizers of an anti-terrorism conference open to the public announced
the addition of Jerusalem Post editor Caroline Glick to its roster of
leading experts on the threat of radical Islam.
Glick, the paper's deputy managing editor, will address the Feb. 2
conference in Dallas with a talk titled, "Assessing the Iranian Threat
to Global Security."
A newly released National Intelligence Estimate says Iran stopped its
nuclear weapons program in 2003, but Israeli intelligence officials and
former U.N. ambassador John Bolton are among the analysts who have
questioned the report.
Other speakers include Robert Spencer, Frank Gaffney and David
Schippers, who will discuss the Islamic terrorist connection to the
1995 Oklahoma City bombing and its relevance to the country's current
security.
Open to anyone who wants to "learn the truth," "Exposing the Threat of
Radical Islamist Terrorism" is part of a continuing series organized by
America's Truth Forum, which provides registration details on its
website.
The event will be held at Ranch of the Lonesome Dove in Southlake,
Texas, which is minutes from the Dallas-Fort Worth airport. A VIP
dinner and cocktail reception Friday night, Feb. 1, will precede the
conference.
Jeffrey Epstein, president of America's Truth Forum, said the
conference is necessary because Americans are not getting the full
story about the threat they face.
"We can no longer afford to keep our heads in the sand," he said. "If
you care about this country and the future of your children, and you
don't want to see them living under Islamic law, then you need to come
to this event."
Along with citizens who want to be informed, the event will be attended
by law enforcement officials and first responders – including from
Canada – who will have the opportunity to interact and exchange ideas.
Robert Spencer
Schippers – the former federal prosecutor and 1998 impeachment chief
counsel – investigated the Oklahoma City bombing along with reporter
Jayna Davis. Other speakers include professor and FBI adviser Harvey
Kushner, former CIA counter-terrorism agent Bruce Tefft and
internationally known critic Wafa Sultan.
Their subjects will be:
Robert Spencer, director of Jihad Watch, best-selling author and expert
on radical Islam: "Sharia Law and the West," examining why the U.S.
ignores the encroachment of Islamic law on Western civilization at its
own peril.
Frank Gaffney, founder, president of Center for Security Policy: "The
Infiltration of Middle Eastern Influence into Washington, D.C.,
Institutions."
Harvey Kushner, chairman of Criminal Justice Department of Long Island
University, best-selling author, adviser to the FBI and FAA: "Radical
Islam's Infiltration of America."
David Schippers, former chief investigative counsel for the U.S. House
Judiciary Committee, author and noted counter-terrorism expert: The
Islamic terror connection to the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing.
Wafa Sultan, Syrian-American psychologist and internationally known
critic of militant Islam: "America's Need to Be Educated About Islam,"
explaining why tough questions should be posed to Muslims about Islamic
teachings; the need to monitor the Saudi money trail into American
universities, mosques and maddrassas; and the need to effectively
infiltrate Muslim communities to monitor and investigate
radicalization.
Bruce Tefft, founding member of CIA's Counterterrorism Task Force: "The
Islamist Ideological Conflict – Loyalty to Country vs. Loyalty to
Religion," looking at complex issues surrounding Islam's ability to
assimilate into host nations.
Spencer is the author of critically acclaimed books on Islam, including
"Religion of Peace?: Why Christianity Is and Islam Isn't," "The Truth
About Muhammad: Founder of the World's Most Intolerant Religion" and
"The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam (and the Crusades)."
Wafa Sultan
Sultan seized attention worldwide in February 2006 when her
electrifying interview on Al-Jazeera television spread across the
Internet through a video clip produced by the Middle East Media
Research Institute.
Named last year to Time Magazine's list of 100 influential people in
the world, Sultan spoke with WND after addressing last years' America's
Truth symposium in Las Vegas. She said she understood Bush's position
as president and his need to be diplomatic, but insisted, nevertheless,
his words have been "empowering" to Muslim leaders whose ultimate aim
is for Islamic law to govern the world.
America's Truth Forum had planned a symposium this fall to be held in
Dearborn, Mich., but the event had to be canceled after a last-minute
complication with the venue.
Epstein suspects it was the result of "pressure applied on the
location's management by special interest groups prone to supporting
the advancement of Islam in the United States."
Also, America's Truth Forum invited leaders from the "pro-Islamist
community" to engage in a discussion panel, but none responded.
The leaders included Siraj Wahhaj, imam of Al-Taqwa mosque in Brooklyn,
N.Y.; Ibrahim Hooper, spokesman for the Council on American-Islamic
Relations; Nihad Awad, executive director of the Council on
American-Islamic Relations; Malik Shabazz, Muslim spokesman for the New
Black Panther Party; Jamal Badawi, professor at Saint Mary's University
in Halifax, Nova Scotia; Akbar S. Ahmed, professor of International
Relations at American University in Washington, D.C.; and Omid Safi,
associate professor of Islamic Studies at the University of North
Carolina, Chapel Hill.
"Not one of these Muslim leaders, who incessantly complain that there
is no dialogue on the issue of Islam in America and the West, chose to
take the dais in an effort to engage in an intellectual discussion,"
Epstein said.

Hope one day people will learn to live together, and all terror groups like Taliban, who try to stop modern cultures grow, or PKK Kurdish child killers, who try to create a new country and name it Kurdistan by dividing and taking over others will be history. Killing innocent civilians is a crime against humanity. We will never allow them succeed.
