Many know about the threats that radical Islamists pose to national security. But many Americans simply are unaware of a non-violent Jihad taking place in the U.S. This, potentially more dangerous threat, seeks to use and abuse the freedoms that define America against us.
One of the most dangerous techniques being employed by radicals, is known as "lawfare" or "legal jihad". You can learn more about this threat here: http://www.radicalislam.org/threat/stealth-threat/legal-manipulation
Today, WorldNetDaily exposes "legal jihad" in action, following the suit of several Islamic organizations against an online journalist.
Richard Thompson, president and chief counsel of the Thomas More Law Center, commented, "This frivolous lawsuit is an example of the legal jihad being waged by radical Islamic organizations throughout our nation. These lawsuits are aimed at stifling the free speech rights of Americans who dare to expose their agenda. They intentionally file lawsuits to intimidate reporters who seek to expose their agenda. By making it costly to defend against their lawsuits, they hope journalists will refrain from writing about the threat to our nation."
This is a dangerous threat, and one that must be understood, if we are to succeed in the fight against radicals in our country.
