Highlands Ranch (6/26/2009)

The Douglas County Republican Party had its monthly meeting in Highlands Ranch, CO today with a full meeting attendance. The speaker was David Petteys of the Act! For America organization. Act! for America is a nationwide organization of concerned Americans who are uniting to speak out against the rising tide of Islamofascism and the "political correctness" that excuses it. The organization is based in Virginia Beach, VA.

Petteys displayed video and documents to show the attendees that the rise of Islamic Jihad is real and is infiltrating the U.S. "The Muslim Brotherhood started many of the moderate Islamic Organizations...Any efforts to limit Saudi U.S. influence must come from the bottom up." Petteys said. Petteys told the crowd about the Islamic Trilogy which consists of the Quran, the Sira which is a bio of the life of Mohammed, and the Hadith which concerns political issues of Mohammed. According to Petteys, the Islamic definition of Jihad is "to war against non-muslims and to establish the religion of Islam"

Petteys said there are 4 methods of Jihad: (1) by mouth (2) by pen (3) by the sword and (4) by money. Petteys told the crowd that money raising is the principal U.S. problem concerning radical Islam.
