A.S. Ibrahim warns here about the naivety of progressive Americans regarding Islamists who seek to exploit American freedoms in order to ultimately promote Islamic dominance. He sounds a wake-up call, offering four recommendations:

First, we must promote education about the ideological roots of political Islam, exposing texts and agendas that resist integration into our societies. Second, we must uphold constitutional protections, ensuring that anti-American actions cannot override freedoms of speech and religion, or equality before the law. Third, we should advocate for persecuted minorities—Christians, Jews, and others—both at home and abroad, recognizing that Islamism’s global impact threatens vulnerable communities. Finally, we should amplify Muslim and non-Muslim voices who reject Islamism and embrace democratic principles, exposing harsh realities of Islamic texts.

Having spent considerable time in the Middle East and wih Prof. Ibrahim, he knows of what he speaks. We ignore him to our detriment.
