Next our prayers go out for all of the individuals and families who are being impacted — both here and abroad — by uman’s inhumanity to man. Next, we express our deepest appreciation for those whose support of this project went “above and beyond” (as the saying goes). They are: Abukar Arman, Said El-Marzoukl, Magdy Haggag, Rubina Tareen, and Imam Si raj Wahhaj. A special note of thanks also goes out to the administrations of the masajid and centers that permitted me to come in and talk about the importance of this project and solicit support (with their full support and endorsement): Islamic Association of Raleigh (IAR), Islamic Center of Maryland (ICM), Islamic Society of Baltimore (ISB), Islamic Society of Central Jersey (ISCJ), and as always, Masjid At-Taqwa (Brooklyn, NY). And a very special note of thanks to all those (far too many to list, but YOU know who you are) whose TRUST and confidence truly made this project possible. Those of you who gave much needed material support in the form of donations to the project, or by purchasing books in advance (many of you multiple copies). Your trust touched the heart and deepened the sense of obligation. Thank you. Last, but certainly not least, we thank the friends who contributed to this project in other ways: Heather Gray, Rev. Graylan Hagler, John Sugg, and the Muslim Link. May The Creators blessings be upon you all.

Sperry and publisher, Nelson Current, describe their book as follows: "This is the untold story about the silent, yet extremely dangerous threat from the Muslim establishment in America — alarming expose of how Muslims have for years been secretly infiltrating American society, government, and culture, pretending to be peace- loving and patriotic, while supporting violent jihad and working to turn America into an Islamic state." And as if this were not sufficient as a poisonous introduction, they continue with the following. "In this powder keg of a book, you’ll learn: • How radical Muslims have penetrated the U.S. Military, the FBI, the Homeland Security Department, and even the White House —where subversive Muslims and Arabs have received top-secret clearance. • How they’ve infiltrated the chaplains program in the federal and state prison systems — a top recruiting ground for al-Qaida. • How they’ve successfully run influence operations against our political system with the help of both Democrats and Republicans, badgering corporate boards into Islamizing the workplace. • How we’ve been utterly duped about what the Quran does and doesn’t teach. Sadly, much of anti-Western terrorism is simply Islam in practice, the text of the Quran in action.
