"Extremism Thrives Where Silence Is Rewarded": Muslim Leader's Urgent Warning to America - Faith & Freedom News

Muslim Leader’s Urgent Warning: “Extremism Thrives Where Silence Is Rewarded” – Faith & Freedom News

I am a Muslim — and I am fighting that ideology. I left Sharia-governed societies for freedom. And if you believe Sharia must rule, the Qur’an itself instructs migration — not conquest.

Anila Ali, President and CEO of the American Muslims MultiFaith Women Empowerment Council (AMMWEC), has issued a powerful and urgent warning to America. As an American Muslim woman who loves her country, she is sounding the alarm about an alarming encounter that highlights a growing ideological threat — and the dangerous silence surrounding it.

The Alarming Encounter

Yesterday, Ali spoke with a man in Texas whose tone, anger, and ideology sent chills down her spine. He openly argued for a Sharia-compliant Texas and could not understand why Republicans — or any Americans — would oppose it. His language was hostile, absolutist, and dismissive of the Constitution.

Anila Ali’s response was unequivocal: “I told him point-blank: I am a Muslim — and I am fighting that ideology. I left Sharia-governed societies for freedom. And if you believe Sharia must rule, the Qur’an itself instructs migration — not conquest.”

Ali emphasizes this is not rhetoric — this is Islamic theology and American law aligned. Her message is clear: America offers freedom of religion, but it does not — and will not — become governed by religious law.

This Is Not About Islam — It Is About Ideology

Ali is quick to clarify: millions of Muslims live peacefully in America, serve in law enforcement and the military, raise families, and cherish liberty. They are not the problem.

The Real Problem: Political Islam

The problem is political Islam — an ideology that teaches a fundamentally incompatible worldview with American constitutional democracy.

What Political Islam Teaches:

Islam is the only legitimate way to live
Democracy is secondary
Secular law is illegitimate
Dissent is betrayal

When this thinking takes root, violence is never far behind.

Silence Has Allowed Islamists to Hijack the Narrative

In states like Texas, moderate Muslims are being drowned out. Not because they don’t exist — but because they are afraid to speak.

That silence has devastating consequences:

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Parents

See young people radicalized online and in sermons

👮 Law Enforcement

Encounters rising ideological hostility

🏛️ Policymakers

Hear only the loudest, angriest voices

🕌 Moderate Muslims

Left vulnerable, isolated, and targeted

Let me be clear: extremists do not represent Muslims — but they will represent us if moderates stay quiet.

A Message to Moderate Muslims

To Fellow Muslims in America

America is not a “Dar-ul-Harb” (land of war). The Constitution is not anti-Islam. Freedom of religion is not a threat to faith.

If you believe Sharia must replace American law, America is not the place for that project. The Qur’an does not instruct believers to overthrow societies that grant freedom — it instructs migration when faith and conscience cannot be practiced.

Those of us who stayed chose America because of liberty — not despite it.

A Message to Policymakers and Law Enforcement

Ali directly addresses key government officials and institutions, including the Senate Judiciary Committee, Senate leadership, and prominent senators including Ted Cruz, James Lankford, Josh Hawley, and John Cornyn.

To Those in Power

Do not confuse criticism of extremist ideology with “Islamophobia.” Do not allow fear of labels to blind you to warning signs.

Do not sideline moderate Muslim voices who are risking everything to speak.

Extremism thrives where accountability is absent and silence is rewarded.

Anila Ali’s Position: Simple and Unapologetic

My Position — Clear and Unwavering

I am Muslim
I am American
I oppose Sharia as a governing system
I stand with the Constitution
I fight extremism — even when it comes from my own community

That is not betrayal. That is moral courage.

Ali concludes with a powerful call to action: “And it is time more voices joined in saying it — loudly, clearly, and without apology.”

Why This Message Matters Now

Anila Ali’s message comes at a critical moment when:

The Current Reality:

Political correctness often prevents honest discussion of ideological threats
Moderate Muslim voices are systematically silenced by fear and intimidation
Law enforcement faces pressure to ignore warning signs
Young Muslims are increasingly exposed to extremist ideology online
Policymakers lack guidance from moderate Muslim leaders

Ali’s courage in speaking out provides a model for other moderate Muslims and a roadmap for policymakers navigating these challenging issues. Her message is clear: defending the Constitution and opposing political Islam is not anti-Muslim — it is pro-American and pro-freedom.

“Islam Has Been Stolen” – Exposing the Muslim Brotherhood Network

Islam has been stolen — my religion has been hijacked by Muslim Brotherhood and their proxies — since 9/11. I bear witness.

Ali’s warning goes beyond general concerns about political Islam. She directly names organizations she believes are responsible for hijacking her religion and deceiving the American public.

🚨 Named Organizations

Ali specifically identifies CAIR (Council on American-Islamic Relations) and its National Executive Director Nihad Awad as perpetrators of this hijacking. She calls out regional leadership including Hussam Ayloush of CAIR Los Angeles for alleged discrimination, harassment, and intimidation.

Allegations of Internal Discrimination and Corruption

Ali reveals troubling allegations of discrimination within CAIR itself, raising serious questions about the organization’s practices and true mission:

Serious Allegations Include:

Pay Scale Discrimination: Lori Soraya Haidri, a Pakistani Shia sister and CAIR national board member, allegedly raised concerns about discriminatory pay practices
Ethnic Discrimination: Ali alleges that CAIR’s Arab leadership considers non-Arabs “lower people” and pays them less accordingly
Dr. Pervez’s Departure: An Indian American professor who left CAIR after allegedly experiencing discrimination
Gender and Religious Discrimination: Multiple grievances based on gender, ethnicity, and religious affiliation (including discrimination against Shia Muslims)
501(c)(3) Status Questions: Ali suggests CAIR’s actions are not aligned with its tax-exempt status requirements

Ali’s Direct Challenge: “There is a lot happening there is not an alignment with your 501C3 statuses. Oh that’s what Lori used to tell me as well.”

Call for Congressional Investigation

Ali directly calls on the Senate Judiciary Committee and other government bodies to investigate these allegations, specifically requesting that they:

Demands for Accountability

Subpoena CAIR Leadership: Ali requests the Senate Judiciary Committee subpoena CAIR officials to testify about allegations of discrimination based on ethnicity, gender, and religious affiliation

Donor Disclosure: She calls for CAIR to reveal its donors and realign its mission with its actual actions

Public Debate: Ali challenges Hussam Ayloush to a public debate or hearing, stating: “I think America needs to hear you and me in public — don’t you think?”

Ali references documentation that was allegedly available on the website wecair.net, suggesting there is a documented trail of these concerns.

Allegations of Intimidation and Harassment

Personal Targeting and Intimidation

Ali alleges that since Hussam Ayloush became a Democratic Delegate, he has been actively working to damage moderate Muslim organizations. She claims he and CAIR have engaged in:

Reputation Attacks

Maligning and hurting the reputation of moderate Muslim organizations

Harassment

Harassing and intimidating Muslim women and men who speak against extremism

Mosque Intimidation

Heckling moderate Muslims at mosques

Proxy Attacks

Sending “hoodlums” like Itad Afalca, Chair of the Greater Irvine Democratic Club

“You’ve been stabbing trying to bring our only Muslim organization standing up to MB & proxies.”

Warning to Democratic Leadership

Ali specifically addresses Democratic governors and leadership, urging them to understand the true nature of CAIR and Muslim Brotherhood proxies operating within their ranks. Her message suggests that these organizations may be exploiting their access to Democratic Party structures while working against American constitutional values.

Organizations Named in the Network

#MuslimBrotherhood – The parent ideological movement

#CAIR – Council on American-Islamic Relations

#MPAC – Muslim Public Affairs Council

“Perhaps we should start talking soon in hearings, debate in public? America needs to hear you and me in public.”

Ali’s call for public accountability and congressional investigation represents a rare moment of courage from within the Muslim American community. Her willingness to name names and demand transparency stands in stark contrast to the silence she warns against.

A Call for Moral Courage

“It is time more voices joined in saying it — loudly, clearly, and without apology.”

Anila Ali’s message reminds us that true patriotism sometimes means standing up to extremism within one’s own community. Her courage deserves amplification, support, and action.
