And yet, groups with a foreign terrorist designation have spread influence throughout our political process, public institutions, and education systems.
How deep does the infiltration go? How many of our institutions are under the influence of people with a hostile attitude toward our state and country? Join us at TPPF for an in-person event where we’ll unpack those questions and give answers about how groups like the Muslim Brotherhood and CAIR have been wielding soft power to shape public opinion, redirect policy priorities, and weaken core American and Western values.
Join Texas legislative leaders along with an international expert on Islamist Extremism, Sam Westrop. Sam is the Director of The Middle East Forum's counter-extremism project and has headed Islamist Watch since March 2017. Before that, he ran Stand for Peace, a London-based counter-extremism organization. He is the nation’s foremost expert on the radical network of Islamic radicals expanding across Texas. These radicals are seeking to infiltrate our education system, higher education, and government to weaponize and exploit Western values of free speech, capitalism, and our generous safety nets to advance their ultimate goal of instilling the Caliphate in Texas and implementing Sharia Law.
Complimentary lunch will be provided for in-person attendees, and you are also welcome to register for a livestream ticket and tune in online.
