Team USA lost to Turkey yesterday in the World Cup. Fortunately, it will nonetheless be able to advance in the competition. Another loss to Turkey is in prospect – one that may not have a happy outcome. President Trump says he may bring a “big gift” to his Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the host of NATO’s upcoming summit in Ankara. He reportedly has in mind selling the Turks America’s front-line stealth fighter, the F-35. Transferring such technology to a nation run by a sharia-supremacist regime deeply tied to Communist China is a formula for compromising sensitive technology and intelligence capabilities. It’s all the more alarming given Mr. Trump’s disclosure that Turkey was a “prime candidate to go into the war with Iran – maybe on the Iran side.” The truth is Turkey is an ally no more, and must be treated accordingly.

A new music video “They Knew” condemns decades of rape and enslavement of over a quarter-million British girls by Pakistani Muslim gangs with the knowledge and complicity of British authorities. Such “rape jihad” is not limited to the United Kingdom. Countries across Europe have also seen those who have made Islam’s migratory “hijra” emulating their “perfect man,” the prophet Mohammed, ravaging host countries’ women in record numbers. A Ban Sharia webinar today will explore rape jihad and the extent to which we are now on notice: Muslim men in this country will engage in sharia-condoned rapes of young girls if they can get away with it. And authorities in this country – like their counterparts elsewhere – will know it’s happening, but fail to act for fear of precipitating violence, or simply being falsely slandered as “Islamophobes.” That must not happen here.

For five decades, I have worked inside government and out to expose, challenge and counter totalitarian enemies of our country pursuing her destruction. Currently, those forces include such adversaries foreign and domestic as Chinese Communists and their allies, sharia-supremacists and global elitists. I call it the “Red-Green-Blue axis.” One line of attack common to such enemies is influencing and, wherever possible, indoctrinating our children. Literally today, this axis has its sights firmly on Texas’ K-12 social studies curriculum. Thankfully, the State’s Board of Education has repeatedly voted to ensure that this important charter for what will be taught not only in Texan public schools, but perhaps another twenty across the country and for the next fourteen years, is factual and equips our kids to love and protect freedom. It must do so once again this week. Please weigh in at sboe.texas.gov. This is Frank Gaffney.

Yesterday, President Trump formally signed a deal with Iran based in part on an assessment that we can safely, and generously, do business with its new leadership. Unfortunately, a webinar conducted shortly before the ceremony shockingly exposed why the unaltered, sharia-supremacist character of Iran’s government remains a threat to its own people, and ours. This program was part of a series examining how sharia-adherents like the recently installed Grand Ayatollah and his subordinates condone child marriage, sexual abuse and slavery that they aim to impose worldwide as part of sharia’s strategy for global conquest. Set aside for the moment the inadvisability of granting such men renewed access to international oil markets, financing and imports of, among other things, advanced weapons. Legitimating and empowering a regime that brutalizes children is a formula for proliferating such behavior, including here. Learn more at BanSharia.com. This is Frank Gaffney.

There’s much loose talk about the so-called “deal” between the United States and Iran. Increasingly, it’s being described as “ending the war.” That is, at best, wildly premature. At worst, it is dangerously delusional. By restoring the Iranian regime’s access to oil revenues, ending sanctions and blockades of its ports, this agreement assures its survival and eliminates U.S. leverage – effectively dooming any further negotiations aimed at ending Iran’s nuclear weapons program. In fact, with Communist China’s active help rearming Iran, a more realistic assumption would be that the mullahs will simply buy nuclear weapons from North Korea or perhaps Pakistan. Thus, when – inevitably – they resume kinetic warfare, the threat will surely be existential for Israel, Iran’s neighbors and possibly large numbers of Americans. Donald Trump has done so much to prevent that, and must not have it be his legacy. This is Frank Gaffney.
