FROM THE DESK OF DAVID HOROWITZ

Dear Supporter,

Liberals are so afraid of offending Muslims that they are denying these facts which are staring us in the face:

•Muslims the world over are engaged in an openly declared Holy War or Jihad against the West.

•This Jihad is a grave danger to our nation and to all of Western civilization.

•The Jihad challenges every facet of American life. Its agenda includes the purposeful and systematic dismantling of all aspects of our culture. It hopes ultimately to impose Sharia law on the U.S., replacing our law with provisions such as the stoning of adulterous women and cutting off thieves' hands.

•The extent of the threat is not being effectively and truthfully communicated to the American public.

These are the reasons my organization is now sponsoring Jihad Watch, an information and action campaign to alert the American people to the real threat of the Muslim jihad, and what needs to be done to make our country and our civilization secure.

I am writing to you today to ask your support.

Here's just one example of what we need to expose:

"Islam isn't in America to be equal to any other faith, but to become dominant. The Koran should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on earth."

Do you have any idea who said this?

It was Omar Ahmad, the chairman of the board of CAIR, the Council on American-Islamic Relations. CAIR's spokesmen appear regularly in the media complaining about the treatment of Muslims and giving us the message that "Muslims are part of the fabric of this great country and are working to build a better America."

But when speaking to a Muslim audience, as Omar Ahmad was, the message is not so benign.

I'm certain you didn't know who made this statement. The media are too eager to portray Islam just as Muslims wish them to. But I'm out to portray it as it really is.

The threat of Islam's Holy War is so dangerous that we can't continue to allow Americans to remain ignorant. That's why I brought in the most hard-hitting and knowledgeable expert in Islam I know, who has already been running the Jihad Watch website on his own for several years.

He is Robert Spencer, author of The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam and other books, who has studied Islamic theology, law and history for decades. He has been a consultant to the U.S. State Department, U.S. Central Command, the Department of Homeland Security and the German Foreign Ministry on Islam and Jihad, and has appeared on the BBC, the VOA, CNN, and numerous other TV and radio outlets to discuss Jihad and terrorism.

His most recent book, The Truth About Muhammad, has been banned in Pakistan because it contains "objectionable material" about Muhammad, the prophet of Islam. An official at the Pakistani Embassy in Washington said: "The book is very, very damaging - let me tell you."

As a long time supporter of Robert's work, I know you understand better than anyone, the importance of the Jihad Watch project. I decided to sponsor and expand the work of Jihad Watch because Robert is not afraid to tell the truth - even though it has led to his being targeted with death threats by militant Muslims. In a recent Al-Qaeda videotape, he was actually mentioned by name as one of four people the terrorist groups regards as its most formidable enemies. And here's one of the more colorful threats he received:

"May Allah rip out his spine from his back and split his brains in two, and then put them both back, and then do it over and over again.... Amen."

That's supposed to be a prayer! Have you noticed any Christian or Jewish prayers like that? And if you received that kind of threat - along with many others - would you continue to dig up and publicize the truth about Islam? Robert Spencer does, even though he has to conceal where he lives and some things about his identity to protect his family.

Robert is a hero. I'm proud that he is heading up Jihad Watch for us.

The Jihad Watch effort includes booklets, articles, speeches, email campaigns, Internet, and as many appearances in the media as we can get. We're already experts at getting media attention, and Jihad Watch is the kind of hot topic that TV and radio hosts love.

We need to raise $180,000 for the next three months of Jihad Watch. I hope that you will help us with a gift of $25, $50, $100 or more. Click here to give. https://www.donationreport.com/init/controller/ProcessEntryCmd?key=F0M2I3C2Y4

For your gift of $25 or more I'll send you Robert Spencer's pamphlet, What Americans Need to Know About Jihad. For your gift of $50 or more I'll also send Robert's Politically Correct Guide to Islam. If your gift is $100 or more, I'll also send you the book that was banned in Pakistan, The Truth About Muhammad.

I know that many Americans do not want to face unpleasant facts. Too many refuse to admit that Islamic jihad is out to destroy America and is already influencing much that goes on in the media, the entertainment industry, schools, libraries, and other institutions.

I hope you are one person who is not afraid to face the threat and do something about it. Please respond right away with your generous gift.

My Sincere Thanks,
David Horowitz
President & Founder

P.S. Imagine American women submitting to wearing a head scarf, or giving up contact with unrelated men. Imagine the Koran as the ultimate authority over our daily lives. That's so hard to think about that it appears unreal. Yet that is the exact goal of the jihadists' Holy War. Please help me fight them with the truth.
