✦ Synopsis

This monograph is one of a series of Civilization Jihad Readers being published by the Center for Security Policy Press. Each monograph in this series assesses its own aspect of the various methods by which the Muslim Brotherhood conducts civilization Jihad in America. This report, an update from the Center’s original work in 2011, demonstrates that Islamic Law (Shariah) continues to grow right here in America, threatening especially Muslim women and children, many of whom fled their homelands to escape the inequalities and individual liberty-crushing strictures of that foreign legal system. This monograph also provides both insight into the Muslim Brotherhood-connected organizations hard at work to maintain the expansion of Shariah, as well as a proven method by which American policymakers can halt this assault on the supreme law of this land - America’s Constitution.
