*Research – Activism – Community Outreach – Support of Moderate Muslims* *A Project of the Middle East Forum* Islamist Watch is devoted to unveiling and combating "Lawful Islamists" who exploit our Constitutional freedoms to incrementally and non-violently undermine American and Western values while imposing aspects of Sharia law, creating special rights for Muslims, preventing criticism of Islamists, intimidating moderate Muslims, depriving women and non-Muslims of their civil and Constitutional rights, and creating "no-go" autonomous zones within the United States and other Western countries. Lawful Islamism is a radical and supremacist interpretation of Islam that seeks to destroy Western society from within -- culturally and politically rather than violently. Methodically and patiently. With words not bullets. Activism not bombs. The goals of Lawful Islamists and Islamic terrorists are the same. Only their methods differ. *Islamism in the News: 01/31/12 – 02/14/12:* *Free Speech* - "US Muslim man pleads guilty to threatening TV Show<http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/02/09/usa-security-southpark-idUSL2E8D99GF20120209>," by James Vicini. *Reuters*, February 9, 2012.
