National groups

A number of anti-Muslim groups supported the move by President Trump to appoint former CIA director Mike Pompeo to a cabinet-level position as Secretary of State. Pompeo is a longtime ally of anti-Muslim hate groups including ACT for America* and Center for Security Policy (CSP)*. Ryan Mauro, writing for his organization the Clarion Project* asserted that Pompeo 鈥済ets it鈥� on the issue of designating the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization. Such a move would amount to a powerful political win for America鈥檚 anti-Muslim movement, whose leaders have worked tirelessly to smear American Muslim civic organizations, in particular the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) and the North American Islamic Trust (NAIT), by calling them聽 鈥渇ronts鈥� for the Brotherhood, who anti-Muslim groups claim are involved in a grand plan for 鈥渃ivilization jihad鈥� 鈥撯�撀� a clandestine effort to overthrow America from within. Robert Spencer of Jihad Watch* called Pompeo鈥檚 appointment, 鈥渧ery good news,鈥� in a blog post that , 鈥淭he swamp needs draining indeed. Maybe Pompeo will start this all-important work.鈥�

On February 27, the American Freedom Law Center (AFLC)* published an amicus curiae (鈥渇riend of the court) brief in support of Trump鈥檚 鈥渆xtreme vetting鈥� policy. The brief was drafted by AFLC鈥檚 legal counsel David Yerushalmi and Robert Muise and included several petitioners who have advocated on behalf of anti-Muslim hate including Frank Gaffney, Andrew C. McCarthy, William 鈥淛erry鈥� Boykin and others.

CSP released two monographs recently, on February 28 and March 13. The first, titled, The Islamist Influence in Hollywood, was by Deborah Weiss, a longtime Gaffney ally. The monograph promotes a regular CSP conspiracy theory, namely that the Muslim Brotherhood is attempting to subvert all aspects of American society from within, including Hollywood, as part of its grand plan to overthrow the United States government. The second monograph, The Coming North American Nuclear Nightmare, was authored by CSP vice president for policy and programs, Fred Fleitz. On March 14, Fleitz, Gaffney and CSP鈥檚 Clare Lopez announced the findings of the book in a live stream on Facebook. Fleitz鈥檚 book on CSP鈥檚 鈥減eace through strength鈥� agenda, praising president Trump for his policy decisions regarding North Korea to date, while lambasting the Obama administration for being 鈥渨eak.鈥�

The first half of March has seen several high-profile anti-Muslim voices hitting the speaking circuit. Understanding The Threat鈥檚* Chris Gaubatz, who is notorious for stealing thousands of pages of legal documents from the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), a Muslim civil rights organization, while posing as an intern, in New York state on March 5.

On March 10. CSP鈥檚 Clare Lopez spoke at the , an annual conservative gathering in South Carolina where Rep. Jeff Duncan spoke. Duncan has recently made anti-Muslim statements online, as well as previously participated in ACT for America鈥檚* national conference. That same day at a separate event, Kamal Saleem, a self-proclaimed 鈥渆x-terrorist鈥� turned anti-Muslim speaker, in Glendale, Arizona, and, among many other things in his presentation, claimed that 鈥淚slam is at war with Christians/Jews.鈥�

From March 12 to 14 anti-Muslim speaker and Christian pastor Shahram Hadian, head of the anti-Muslim Truth in Love Project* spoke at the Chafer Theological Seminary to discuss Islam. According to the event , the purpose of Hadian participation was to inform attendees, 鈥渁bout Islam and the direction of modern Islamic movements. It is vital for Bible-believing Christians to be informed for the dual purpose of evangelism, as well as the political and civil decisions that must be made in relation to Islamic immigration.鈥�

Local groups

On March 4, two individuals with ties to a local group called Patriot Movement AZ (PMAZ), Elizabeth Dauenhauer and Tahnee Gonzales, filmed themselves and children accompanying them, trespassing at a local mosque in Tempe, Arizona, and taking literature from a gated-off area of the facility, constituting a burglary. At the time of the incident, PMAZ had considered Dauenhauer to be a member, but not Gonzales, who, in a previous incident, had Deedra Abboud, a candidate for U.S. Senate who happens to be Muslim. 聽

On March 8, David Bores, a retired law enforcement officer with a history of anti-Muslim hate speech and activity, was scheduled to give a training to officers at the Barrow County Sheriff鈥檚 Office in Georgia. The ACLU of Georgia noted that Bores鈥� presentation, which had been delivered elsewhere and approved by the Georgia state Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) Council, 鈥渨as riddled with misrepresentations of Muslims and Islam, unsubstantiated statistics and images of nonwhite men, representing them as 鈥榬apists鈥� or 鈥榲iolent鈥欌��. In the midst of public outcry, the Barrow County Sheriff鈥檚 Office, reversing an earlier promise to open the training the public, sought to bar CAIR, the ACLU, and Muslims from attending the event. The day after the training was held, POST executive director Ken Vance said Bores鈥� training toward credit. Not surprisingly national anti-Muslim hate group CSP sought to weigh in on the controversy and Bores鈥� training.

On March 13, the U.S. Department of Justice announced they arrested and charged three men, Michael B. Hari, Joe Morris, and Michael McWhorter with the 2017 bombings of a Minnesota mosque, as well as an Illinois women鈥檚 health clinic. One of the suspects, Hari, appears to be the leader of a group called 鈥淲hite Rabbit Three Percent Illinois Patriot Freedom Fighters Militia,鈥� a reference to the far-right anti-government Three Percenter militia movement.

State legislation

Earlier this year Idaho state representative Eric Redman re-introduced a so-called 鈥渁nti-Sharia鈥� bill he has tried and failed to pass on two prior occasions. An 人兽性交 investigation first published on February 12, uncovered ties between Redman and anti-Muslim groups such as ACT for America, Center for Security Policy and American Public Policy Alliance*. The 2018 version of Redman鈥檚 anti-Sharia bill, , passed the House chamber on February 20 and currently remains in the Senate.

On February 5, the 人兽性交 published an investigation uncovering ties between Maine state representative Heather Sirocki and the anti-Muslim hate group ACT for America, and their support for Sirocki鈥檚 anti-Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) bill. Since then, Sirocki鈥檚 bill has met substantial resistance from lawmakers and the broader Maine public. As recently as February 26, lawmakers in favor and against the bill. However there has been no reported activity related to the bill since then.

In their own words

• Deborah Weiss, author of the recent CSP monograph, : 鈥淭he West is in a war with the Global Jihad Movement. It is primarily a war of ideas, and the mind is the battlefield. Muslim Brotherhood front-groups have targeted Hollywood as one of many vehicles through which to conduct its civilization jihad. That they have left no sphere of society untouched and no stone unturned is evidence of the thoroughness of their strategy to subvert western society from within. Islamist influence in Hollywood abounds, and it would be a grave mistake to assume that it is innocuous. Its impact will have a reverberating and deleterious effect for generations to come unless it is acknowledged, confronted and countered.鈥�
• AFLC in support of President Trump鈥檚 鈥淓xtreme Vetting鈥� policy: 鈥淭he Court must recognize that Islam, while it has plenty of diversity, has a mainstream strain 鈥� sharia supremacism 鈥� that is less a religion than it is a totalitarian political ideology hiding under a religious veneer.鈥�
• ACT for America circulated an email, with the headline, 鈥淩ISE AND ALIGN: A Defense of Western Civilization,鈥� to its supporters on March 10 attacking those on the left and sounding a number of racist dog whistles. 鈥淭hey鈥檙e in it for the end goal of one, open borders, leftist utopia, and the total destruction of the Judeo-Christian values that Western civilization was built upon.鈥� The email later went on to say, 鈥渨e鈥檙e going to rise not just in defense of this Nation, but for the values and way of life our enemies are seeking to destroy.鈥� The use of anti-immigrant, McCarthyite, and 鈥渃ivilizational crisis鈥� rhetoric of the email is a somewhat watered-down version of the 鈥渨hite genocide鈥� narrative that white supremacist movements use to say that the white race is under attack due to immigration and changing demographics in Western nations.

Upcoming events

On March 27, U.K.-based far-right anti-Muslim provocateur and former Daily Mail newspaper columnist Katie Hopkins will be giving a at the David Horowitz Freedom Center (DHFC). Hopkins had left the Daily Mail 鈥渂y mutual consent鈥� after giving an inflammatory and anti-Muslim a few months earlier at the DHFC, calling London Mayor Sadiq Khan the 鈥淢uslim mayor of Londonistan,鈥� said U.K. political institutions were controlled by a 鈥淢uslim mafia,鈥� and called for people to 鈥渃ommit to arm ourselves, not just with the help of the NRA.鈥�

On April 21, Will Johnson, a far-right activist and founder of Unite America First, will be organizing an event in Dearborn, Michigan, to the 鈥渦nconstitutionality, lawlessness, and infiltration of Sharia Law鈥� in the United States. (Dearborn has one of the largest Middle Eastern and Muslim populations in the United States.) The event will feature a line-up of high-profile anti-Muslim speakers, including Aynaz 鈥淎nni鈥� Cyrus, Usama Dakdok, Farrah Prudence and Sandra Solomon.
