I founded ACT! for America because Islamic militants have declared war on America. I know what this means. For years, I witnessed first-hand how brutally jihadists treat non-Muslims.
We are in for the fight of our lives and we must ACT! - before it's too late.
[Excerpt: "Islamic apologists in academia and the media keep trying to dismiss the radicalization trend, but they're whistling past the graveyard. A new Duke University study claims that "only" 139 Muslim Americans have been involved in terrorism since 9/11 (including 41, or 30%, in 2009 alone).
But the report, which got a big splash in the media, is laughably incomplete. It omits some of the feds' most celebrated terrorist convictions. It also excludes any U.S. Muslims convicted of financing terror. And these are just the homegrown terrorists who got caught. How many others are out there?

The extraordinary double standard at work between the West and the Muslim world is one of the most troubling elements in the ongoing clash of cultures.
Because the West is reluctant to admit it is even engaged in such a war, it is unable or unwilling to effectively prosecute many of the battles that arise.
Taken singly, skirmishes like the one reported recently in the Associated Press – about the disparity of the sides’ reaction to religious proselytizing – don’t amount to much. But taken together, they seem to me to paint an alarming portrait.
