The Great Awakening: Resistance to Sharia Domination Is Galvanizing In the U.S.

Across the U.S., private citizens, organizations like Amy Mek’s “RAIR Foundation USA”, city- and county-level boards, and on up to Members of the U.S. Congress, are speaking up and standing up to oppose the establishment of Islamic ‘hubs’ and development enclaves in their neighborhoods. Likewise, at the U.S. Cabinet level, steps are being taken to sanction and curtail the activities of the Muslim Brotherhood.

“Judiciary Committee Hearing: ‘Hidden in Plain Sight’: Confronting the Muslim Brotherhood Network in America”

• Chaired by Sen. Ted Cruz, this hearing focused on how the Muslim Brotherhood and its front groups operate to infiltrate and suborn our societal institutions, not through terrorism, but through subversion from within.

Foreign Policy

There is concern that U.S. administration policies in the Middle East, w/Gaza, Iran, and Israel, may be working against U.S. national security interests and to the ultimate benefit of jihadi regimes and militias. Examples include the “Board of Peace” for Gaza, a third 60-day ceasefire and renewed talks with the Iranian regime, and restraining Israel in its efforts to eliminate the threat to its northern communities from Hizballah.

“Board of Peace unveils 15-point plan for Gaza deal” by Ben Whedon at Just the News, July 31, 2026

• Concerns include agreement to ‘hand civilian governance to a national committee’ that will include representatives of the Palestinian Authority and that will ‘govern under Palestinian law’ — does that mean Islamic Law (sharia)? Also, this plan only requires HAMAS to “store heavy weapons” but apparently allows its fighters to keep “personal weapons”. Where will those heavy weapons be stored and who will have (or be able to seize) access to them? Israel will be required to “withdraw from the Gaza Strip” — before, as, or only after HAMAS is disarmed (if indeed it will be)?

 “Bribing Hamas Will Not Bring Peace – It Will Finance The Next War” by Khaled Abu Toameh at Gatestone Institute, August 6, 2026

• Misguided Western thinking persists among the U.S.-led Board of Peace for Gaza. But as this award-winning journalist notes, the jihadis who still control much of Gaza will never agree to abandon jihad in return for financial incentives.

“Inside Trump’s nuclear agreement with Saudi Arabia” by Israel Hayom Staff at Israel Hayom, July 22, 2026

• President Donald Trump approved a nuclear agreement with Saudi Arabia in late July 2026. There are concerns that constructing a uranium enrichment facility in the Kingdom, even under tight restrictions, could result eventually in the transfer of sensitive nuclear technology to Riyadh and possibly setting off nuclear proliferation among other regional states.

 “Treat Iran Like Terrorists, Not a State” by Daniel Greenfield at Jihad Watch, August 5, 2026

• Daniel Greenfield provides valuable insight here into why USG and Western policymaking vis-à-vis Iran is not succeeding. It is our flawed Western style of thinking that to date has prevented us from seeing the Iranian regime as the jihad terrorists they actually are—and not a normal nation state.

 “My message to CENTCOM” by Melanie Phillips at Melanie Phillips Substack, August 4, 2026

• After CENTCOM sent out a request for “new, creative and unconventional ways to pressure and punish Iran”, an “observer” sent a response – destroy the IRGC, focus on regime change, and empower the Iranian people — and asked that it be shared with President Trump.

“Israel, Lebanon make no progress in Rome talks” by Shachar Kleiman at Israel Hayom, August 5, 2026

• Key sentence comes at the end of this piece, “Lebanon is pinning its hopes on the US, as the most influential party at the table, to pressure Israel to withdraw from additional villages in southern Lebanon.”

Editor’s Corner:  Elsewhere In the U.S. Government

Tendentious Democrat report does point out “how the Administration has cut 15,000 positions across the Department of Justice (DOJ) and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and 1,300 Department of Homeland Security (DHS) personnel involved in preventing, countering, and responding to terrorism; eliminated or weakened offices responsible for preventing terrorism and protecting critical infrastructure; delayed or canceled hundreds of millions of dollars in security grants; and reassigned law enforcement personnel away from remaining counterterrorism and national security missions to support immigration enforcement operations.”

Progressive cities – Boston, San Francisco, etc. — withdrawing from FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Forces (JTTFs).

• The best these cities can hope for is that Islam will eat them last.
