The Organization of Islamic Cooperation's Jihad on Free Speech (Civilization Jihad Reader Series) (Volume 3)

Description

Secure Freedom is proud to present this superb addition to its Civilization Jihad Reader Series with the encouragement that the reader take to heart its warnings of a particularly insidious assault on our liberty – and heed Deborah Weiss’ clarion call to join forces to resist it. This is a moment for citizens, legislators and policymakers alike to respond with determination to defend this country’s founding principles. That effort should include an end to all cooperation with the Islamic supremacists of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, including the Istanbul Process. It should also entail a vigorous and unapologetic commitment to freedom of expression and its employment as an indispensable weapon in the execution of a comprehensive strategy to defeat the Global Jihad Movement.
