Supports All Faiths
The reality is that ACT for America has always welcomed and included members and supporters of all faiths, who stand united under the same flag of freedom and support for Western values. We’ve been proud to host Muslims such as Raheel Raza, Dr. Zuhdi Jasser, and others, as speakers and organizers at official ACT for America events, including at our annual National Conference.
These are the facts you won’t hear from the SPLC, or any others who traffic in lies for either political or monetary purposes. There is nothing hateful about ordinary patriotic Americans coming together to advocate for a safer America, and the protection of young girls against the barbaric practices of Sharia law, which justify appalling practices such as domestic abuse, female genital mutilation, the murder of homosexuals, honor killings, and terrorism. Those who would choose to label such advocacy as hateful, expose themselves as nothing more than political smear merchants, and enablers of true hate.
It is specifically these anti-humane practices, which are endorsed by Islamic fundamentalists, that ACT for America stands opposed to. The fact is, it is often Muslims who are harmed by these barbaric practices, most notably women, and children. That’s why ACT for America encompasses and maintains support from Western-loving Muslims, who seek to protect this nation from those who wish to do us harm, and advance human rights for all citizens, regardless of faith, race, or gender.
Pro Safety and Security
ACT for America, founded in 2007, is a U.S.-based national security grassroots origination that educates, engages, trains, and mobilizes citizens and elected officials to impact legislative outcomes and ensure the safety and security of Americans against all threats foreign and domestic while preserving civil liberties guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution.
Response to the SPLC
The SPLC’s accusation that ACT for America is a hate group, is nothing more than a desperate attempt by a far-left smear machine, to bully and intimidate anyone who they disagree with politically into silence. These are exactly the type of tactics that caused the FBI to sever ties with the SPLC back in 2014, and can no longer consider them a trustworthy resource for identifying real hate groups.
JP Media writes that "the SPLC and CAIR slam ACT for America as “anti-Muslim” because it warns against the threat of Islamists who wish to push Islamic law (sharia) on the U.S. In this effort, Gabriel’s organization has partnered with many Muslim reformers."
