Act For America has sent out an ACTION ALERT email to their subscribers notifying them that American Islamist organizations are attempting to rally American-Mohammedans and Mohammedan resident aliens that Steve Emerson is to appear before Congress to enlighten a Congressional Committee on Islamic Terrorism.
The Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) and the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC) are both sending emails to their fellows to prevent Emerson’s testimony. Evidently ISNA and MPAC believe they have the ear of Representative Brad Sherman for the Islamist organizations are telling their fellows to contact him.
The typical Islamist card being used is Victimology; i.e. Islamophobia is evil, bigoted and racist.
Personally I am proud Islamophobe believing that radical Islam needs to be exposed for what it is: The socio-theo-political threat to Western Society as we know it.

DO NOT ALLOW MPAC & ISNA to silence testimony on terrorism. Please read the alerts below demonstrating the efforts of ISNA (Islamic Society of North America) and MPAC, the Muslim Public Affairs Council to prevent such testimony. Pre-empt its effort. Please call Congressman Brad Sherman by phone or fax, thanking him for inviting Steve Emerson to testify; he is one of the most knowledgeable experts in terrorism and one of our most important voices against terrorist proliferation. This is yet another example of how Islamist groups like MPAC & ISNA are trying to silence and undermine anyone who dares to speak out against terrorism in this country by attacking their credibility and accusing them of "Islamaphobia."

URGENT ACTION ALERT: DEMAND RESPONSIBLE TESTIMONY IN FIGHT AGAINST TERRORISM
Islamic Society of North America
http://www.isna.net/articles/News/URGENT-ACTION-ALERT-DEMAND-RESPONSIBLE-TESTIMONY-IN-FIGHT-AGAINST-TERRORISM.aspx
Self proclaimed terrorist expert Steven Emerson is scheduled to testify this Thursday, July 31st, in a congressional hearing entitled "Foreign Aid and the Fight Against Terrorism and Proliferation: Leveraging Foreign Aid to Achieve U.S. Policy Goals."
Emerson has a formidable history of attacking Islam and Muslims in America under the guise of his alleged expertise. Those familiar with Emerson's legacy state his lack of credentials in foreign aid and foreign policy and are concerned that his testimony will feed Islamaphobia.
The Islamic Society of North America encourages it members and all Americans to contact Congressman Brad Sherman (D-CA), chairman of the "House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Terrorism, Nonproliferation, and Trade", convener of the panel, and request that balanced, qualified testimony be included in the panel or the session be canceled. ISNA is concerned that Emerson's hate mongering will deter responsible policy making, impede effective security, and detrimentally affect American Muslims.
Contact Congressman Brad Sherman by phone or fax now before Thursday's session.

MPAC Demands Congressman Sherman Ensure Credible Testimony or Postpone Hearing
July 29, 2008 Muslim Public Affairs Committee
http://www.mpac.org/article.php?id=674
Today, the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC) released a letter urging Congressman Brad Sherman (D-CA) to either provide credible experts at an upcoming hearing on foreign aid, or postpone the hearing until credible experts can be found.
SEE: Foreign Affairs Committee, Subcommittee on Terrorism, Nonproliferation, and Trade Hearing Information (U.S. House of Representatives, 7/28/08)
Congressman Brad Sherman, Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Terrorism, Nonproliferation, and Trade, will call on self-proclaimed "terrorism expert" Steven Emerson to testify at the congressional hearing. Emerson, who has a proven track record of anti-Muslim bigotry, is not a credible expert on foreign aid or foreign policy.
MPAC’s letter calls for the Congressman to "ensure that those who are relied upon for knowledge have the requisite expertise, experience, and nuanced outlook. In the interest of maintaining a good balance of views, we urge you to include an additional panelist from an NGO, university, or think-tank that can represent the positive role of civil society organizations in challenging terrorism. If, however, you cannot find any other witnesses that can balance the current witness panel, we request that you cancel or postpone panel until such time as the committee is able to convene an unbiased slate of witnesses."
"In the interest of effective and informed policy-making, it our sincere hope that the Congressman heeds this request and proceeds accordingly." said Salam Al-Marayati, MPAC Executive Director. "Misinformation could lead to disastrous initiatives, leading the U.S. further away from realizing its foreign policy objectives." Click here to read the letter in its entirety.
ACT NOW!
Contact Congressman Brad Sherman by phone or fax, let him know that he must either provide unbiased, qualified experts for this Thursday's hearing - or cancel the panel.

The description of Steve Emerson as unqualified is almost libelous. This guy is super qualified. Emerson irritates ISNA and MPAC because he tells the truth that Islamist Mohammedan-American organizations DO NOT want the American public to be knowledgeable about.

MPAC is right on target, Emerson has a proven track record of making false statements http://www.counterpunch.org/emerson05192003.html and the allegations made by Sherman against MPAC smack of hypocrisy... didn't Sherman sponsor House Resolution 1338, calling for an end to the ongoing military campaign against the LTTE (a group on the State Dept. terrorist list - http://www.state.gov/s/ct/rls/fs/37191.htm)?
All Congressional research points to the fact that MPAC has no ties with terror, but is tied civil liberties advocacy. Seems MPAC is calling a spade a spade, since when did we stop supporting freedom of speech?

Note that the comment defending MPAC and smearing Steven Emerson is "Anonymous."
This is the usual case of an Islamist supporter or Left Wing Moonbat apologist defending Islam despite the fact the religion is one of the most openly violent religions in the world.
Let us examine the 2003 article by Counterpunch and writer John Suggs.
Suggs views the dismissal of a Emerson lawsuit as vindication of his articles smearing the credibility of Steven Emerson.
The Counterpunch article is obviously used as a Left Wing profile of Steven Emerson on Right Web Profile. For the profile nearly uses verbatim some of the words of John Suggs in the 2006 profile. I also noticed the profile utilize a combination of Left Wing sources and the twisting of anti-Islamist websites as sources. In using the anti-Islamist websites the profile openly vilifies every single one as not being truthful as if Islamic terrorism is non-existent or the terrorism is not related to Islam. Anyone that can read objectively understands that Islam is central to Islamic Terrorism. Simply read Islamic holy scriptures and know a few things that Muslims assume you don't know (e.g. Islamic Abrogation). Thus Islamic and Leftist apologists are discredited in their pursuit to lie.
Now let us look at John Suggs to prove a point that he is a Left Wing apologist for Islamism.
A few years after his taste of civil suit victory relating to Steven Emerson, Suggs wrote an article based on an extremely sympathetic interview with and about Sami al-Arian. The Left and American-Islamic organizations went to a large public effort to defend Florida Professor al-Arian. HELLO! Al-Arian was highly supportive of Palestinian terrorism to eliminate Israel and was associated with groups that have gone to trial (Holy Land Foundation) for supporting Palestinian terrorists and some the HLF named co-conspirators.
Suggs a detractor of Emerson (who exposes Islamist agendas) defended al-Arian (a supporter of Palestinian Terrorist causes)in 2005.
Now keep in mind "anonymous" uses Suggs 2003 article to discredit Emerson.
Then should we not use the CONFESSED guilty verdict of al-Arian aiding Palestinian Islamic Jihad to discredit Suggs critique of Emerson? (By the way, the source for the link is neither Leftist or anti-Islamist; it is the Department of Justice.)
As for MPAC, here again is the dirt on that terrorist supporting organization: MPAC justifies both Hezbollah and Hamas in their quest to destroy Israel.
As for Free Speech: Hindering Emerson testimony to silence him is the exact definition of preventing free speech.
