*Americans marked for 'death' in fight over Islam * Posted By *Leo Hohmann* On 06/09/2017
Speakers at the anti-Sharia rallies set for Saturday are receiving death threats and an American patriotic group has responded by agreeing to provide private security for the event. ACT! For America is sponsoring the anti-Sharia, pro-freedom rallies in 28 cities in 19 states Saturday beginning at around 10 a.m. in most venues and continuing until about 2 p.m. At least two of the featured speakers, including Lauren Morris in Austin, Texas, and Delicia Dawn in Dallas, have received death threats, WND has learned, and Oath Keepers has asked its volunteers to come armed to the rallies to protect the speakers. Morris and Dawn are both survivors of female genital mutilation and are scheduled to go public with their stories at the rallies in Austin and Dallas. Stewart Rhodes, president and founder of Oath Keepers, said both Morris and Dawn are “incredibly sympathetic examples of victims of Shariah” and that is why the pro-Shariah forces are trying to intimidate them into backing out of their speaking engagements. “The national office of ACT for America contacted me and asked for our help, and we answered the call,” Rhodes told WND. “Because of death threats against speakers, we are taking it very seriously.” Oath Keepers’ members are made up of retired cops and military veterans. “We are concerned about the very real threat of radical Islamist terrorism at one of these events tomorrow, and we have encouraged our volunteers to be armed,” Rhodes said. Rhodes said Oath Keepers has issued a national “call to action” for patriotic Americans to attend the June 10 rallies and “help defend free speech.” “We are answering the call to defend free speech against those who would use terrorist violence or the threat of violence to shut it down,” Rhodes said. Abdullah Rashid, 22, grew up in Georgia and converted to Islam in his teens. He married a Somali woman and moved to Minneapolis, where he leads a team of 10 ‘Shariah cops’ patrolling the Cedar Riverside neighborhood making sure the Somalis are living in accordance with Shariah rules. ACT! For America president Brigitte Gabriel believes Sharia is incompatible with Western democracy and the freedoms it affords, not only because Sharia is often the catalyst for violent jihad, but because of the brutal treatment of women, homosexuals and other minorities in Muslim societies where Shariah prevails. There is already evidence that Shariah rules are being privately enforced in some Muslim enclaves in the U.S., such as the Cedar Riverside community of Minneapolis, where police have been made aware of a team of “Sharia cops” and yet have made no arrests, as previously reported by WND <http://www.wnd.com/2017/04/shariah-cop-cracks-down-on-minnesota-muslims/>. Even some Muslims have complained about the Shariah cops to Minneapolis police, to no avail. Examples of Shariah in America include not only FGM, which is now known to be practiced throughout the Muslim communities in Minnesota, Michigan and possibly other areas of the U.S. with heavy Muslim populations, but also honor violence and honor killings, examples of which are presented [with photos of American victims] on the ACT! For America website. The U.S. Department of Justice recently announced the cases of FGM to be prosecuted in America, with charges filed against two doctors in the Detroit area. The two doctors are believed to have mutilated the genitals of an estimated 100 or more girls, most between the ages of 6 and 8, according to a story Thursday in the Detroit News <http://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/local/detroit-city/2017/06/07/feds-estimate-genital-mutilation-victims/102594478/> . Dr. Jumana Nagarwala was charged in Detroit with mutilating the genitalia of young girls ages 6 to 8. Jumana Nagarwala, one of two Muslim physicians in the Detroit area accused of secretly performing FGM on girls ages 6 through 8. Jumana Nagarwala, one of two Muslim physicians in the Detroit area accused of secretly performing FGM on girls ages 6 through 8. The attorney for one of the doctors has already argued in a pre-trial hearing that her client, Dr. Jumana Nagarwala of Northville, Michigan, was not violating any laws because she was merely practicing her religion under the protection of the First Amendment. According to the federal criminal complaint filed in Michigan, the surgery is performed “to suppress female sexuality, reduce sexual pleasure and curb promiscuity.” *FGM survivor Lauren Morris, who will speak at the Austin rally Saturday, recently made a video about her experience:* The procedure has been illegal in the U.S. since 1996 and there are no health benefits for girls and women, according to the World Health Organization <http://www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/fs241/en/>.

Rhodes issued the following statement on the Oath Keepers website: *“I call on the leadership of all Oath Keepers chapters with an ACT event in their state to step up strong, contact the event organizer, and help in every way possible with security, to include making these events a priority over any other activities in/by their local or state chapters, and encouraging as many of our well-trained police and military veterans as possible to assist with security (as well as the essential communications, intelligence, and medical personnel). All chapters with organized CPT teams need to commit those teams to these events. I also call on all Oath Keepers leaders to encourage their chapter members to attend, and to reach out to other local patriotic groups and invite them to participate as well. If there is not an event in your state, please do your best to assist at an event in a nearby state.”* Click here for reuse options! <http://license.icopyright.net:80/rights/tag.act?tag=3.16633?icx_id=4477001> *http://www.wnd.com/2017/06/americans-marked-for-death-in-fight-over-islam-in-u-s/ <http://www.wnd.com/2017/06/americans-marked-for-death-in-fight-over-islam-in-u-s/> * ------------------------------ [image: Avast logo] <https://www.avast.com/antivirus> This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. www.avast.com <https://www.avast.com/antivirus> <#m_-2444813682826564285_m_-8184753220690134701_m_-1060925996328743541_DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2> __._,_.___ ------------------------------ Posted by: "Beowulf" <[email protected]> ------------------------------ Visit Your Group <https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/grendelreport/info;_ylc=X3oDMTJmamVjNGh1BF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzIwMTk0ODA2BGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTMyMzY2NwRzZWMDdnRsBHNsawN2Z2hwBHN0aW1lAzE0OTcwNDk4NzM-> [image: Yahoo!
