The Stop Islamization of America (SIOA) has declared its mission to
educate Americans about the threat of the Islamic doctrine?
A new organization dedicated to fighting what it sees as an
encroaching Islamic takeover of the U.S. is set to launch later this
month with a gathering in Washington, D.C. - on the same day as a
massive Muslim prayer rally in the U.S. capital.

The Stop Islamization of America (SIOA) group has declared its mission
to be educating Americans "about the threat that Islamic doctrine and
those who support it present to our freedoms, and the future of our
democracy and country." The organizers call themselves "scholar
warriors/ideological warriors in the cause of American freedom and
Constitutional government," as well as in "the defense of... our
society of liberty, knowledge, and human decency."

SIOA believes that political Islam is opposed to American values of
"freedom, tolerance, or human rights." They seek to raise the issue of
what they call "brutal, misogynist" Islamic law and jihad in America,
because "tolerance for ideologies that are opposed to our principles
of individual freedoms and our Constitution is indefensible," the
group declares in its online manifesto. A recently-released film, The
Third Jihad, warns that radical Islam is working on a non-violent,
cultural takeover of the United States.

"We are now in a new phase of a 1,400-year-old jihad against the
kafirs (all non-Muslims everywhere); we are not prepared to meet the
threat," SIOA says. gnorance about Islam, its doctrine and purposes is
a moral and ethical failure whose consequences can be nothing short of
national extinction."

The official launch of the SIOA is slated for September 25, 2009, at
an as-yet unknown venue in the U.S. capital. The timing and location
appears to be far from coincidental.

A massive Muslim prayer gathering is planned for for the same day in
front of the Capitol building. Spearheaded by the Elizabeth, NJ Dar-ul-
Islam Mosque, organizers are expecting 50,000 people to attend the
first-of-its-kind national event. The gathering will be limited to
prayer, according to Hassen Abdullah, president of Dar-ul-Islam.

SIOA sees the event as a "big-budget... soft jihad," fought through
"marketing and cultural/ideological warfare." D.L. Adams of SIOA wrote
of the planned Muslim prayer gathering, "It is impossible to see this
event as anything but what it is, taqiyya (sacred deception), jihad
(endless universal war against the unbelievers), and dawa
(conversion)."

The SIOA's own event is planned to conclude with a "saunter" around
the streets of Washington DC, on the day of the Muslim prayer rally,
in order to "engage in conversations with our fellow citizens who
might happen to be there on the same day on matters of moment.
However, more confrontationally, the SIOA website calls for "every
protest of this takiya-jihad-dawa event...include some component of
donkey, dog, and women." The reason for this unusual suggestion is
made clear on the SIOA site as well: Muslim doctrine, according to the
SIOA, says that "Islamic prayer is nullified if a dog, a woman, or a
donkey are present."

At the same time, the SIOA promotional literature for the
organizational launch emphasizes, "We are an entirely non-violent
organization. Our sauntering is planned to be more a polite
conversational engagement rather than a demonstration." Organizers
"look forward to a pleasant several hours chatting with our fellow
Americans in the Capitol on the issue at hand."

Speakers at the SIOA launch are slated to include expatriate Egyptian
activist Nonie Darwish, Islam scholar and author Robert Spencer,
journalist Pamela Geller, and Christine Brim, Senior Vice President
for Policy and Program Management at the Center for Security Policy.
