  30. The mullahs are just waiting until they are in the majority to take our country and force Sharia law on everybody who lives in the United States of America. Folks, it is coming. So the question is, Will we continue this path and end up like the UK and the rest of the European countries, or will we say ``Enough is enough,'' and refuse to give up our country to the enemy? I was glad to see President Trump officially designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization, but that is not quite enough. I am calling on President Trump to ban the Muslim Brotherhood from this country. They don't need to be here. They are our enemies. They are inside the gates. We also need to ban Sharia law on a Federal level, not just on a State level. This hateful, murderous ideology has no place in our country.

  31. They have been afraid to hurt somebody's dang feelings or to make somebody uncomfortable--but the time for being politically correct had better be over. The truth is that radical Islam extremists want every single freedom-loving American to convert to Islam or be killed by the sword. That is what they study and believe. Thanks to President Trump, our borders are secure. We are stopping mass migration and are turning away people who want to hurt our country when we have got them here already. This action is saving our country right now, but it only takes the next Democrat-Communist President to reopen the floodgates to mass immigration. The disease of Islam has been allowed to fester and spread in our country for a long time.

We are living in a dangerous time during which people are afraid to say the truth because they don't want to be canceled or talked about. Bad things start to happen when good people sit idly by and do nothing to address the problems that are plaguing our society today. We can't stay silent. If we do that, we are no better than the leaders of the UK, who sat on their hands while 250,000 young girls were raped and trafficked-- 250,000. What is wrong with these people? The young girls were raped and trafficked just over the last few years. For too long, people have tiptoed around the issue.

  33. The RAIR Foundation's research also claims that the Birmingham Islamic Society has employed imams with direct ties to the Muslim Brotherhood. The mosque's constitution reveals that every aspect of the mosque's operations, memberships, finances, and even the personal affairs of its members is subject to Sharia law. The Birmingham Islamic Society's constitution declares Sharia to be the supreme authority over the entire organization. To them, Sharia overrules all of our Federal, State, and local laws. I know the State of Alabama has passed a law to prohibit State courts from enforcing or considering any foreign international or religious law if it violates the U.S. or Alabama Constitution. I trust the Alabama courts will look into this as soon as possible in Birmingham.

You are seeing parts of their plan play out today in several States, like Texas, Minnesota, New Jersey, and New York. You know, even my State of Alabama has become a focal point of the Islamic Network's goal of destroying Christianity and of eliminating Western society. The RAIR Foundation recently uncovered some disturbing facts about the Birmingham Islamic Society in my State. Their so-called Islamic Society admits to being 100-percent rooted in Sharia law. It has got ties to the North American Islamic Trust, which is linked to the Muslim Brotherhood.

  35. Since 1986, Herndon, VA--not too far from here--has been home to the International Institute of Islamic Thought. Think about that--just down the road. This institute was established with the sole purpose of eliminating Western influence in every field of human knowledge. We are talking science; we are talking history, psychology, and politics. Then they would rebuild it. They [[Page S3926]] are changing it so it will be from an Islamic viewpoint. It is not our viewpoint. It is not our history. Simply put, they are taking advantage of our laws and, ultimately, are destroying our country. In short, ``The Project'' outlines a long-term plan to establish Islamic dominance worldwide by infiltrating and eventually taking control of the nation that they are in.

  36. Thanks to Barack Obama and Joe Biden, the enemy, folks, is now inside the gates. You would have to be stupid to think that what is happening in Europe couldn't happen here. ``Oh, it can't happen in the United States.'' It is happening as we speak. The same cult ideology that empowered the human trafficking of White women in the United Kingdom is alive and well here in the United States of America. In the 1980s, the Muslim Brotherhood created a blueprint known as ``The Project,'' outlining a long-term plan to establish Islamic dominance worldwide by infiltrating Western institutions. That is their plan. ``The Project'' explicitly instructs Muslims to create parallel societies within their host countries and to reject all assimilation into Western culture.

  37. When a government imports millions of Third World Muslims who refuse to assimilate and who actively want to destroy any semblance of Western civilization, people are going to start taking matters into their own hands. That is what usually happens. I wish I could say that the United States is immune to such dangers, but, sadly, what is happening in Europe is a foreshadowing of what is to come here in our own backyard if we are not careful. Under the Obama and Biden administrations, Third World Muslims flooded--flooded-- American cities like Minneapolis; Dearborn, MI; and parts of Virginia with one goal in mind--one goal--to radically change the ethnic, religious, and political makeup of our country, the United States of America. That is their plan. They are doing it in Europe. Now they are coming here.

A Scottish man took matters into his own hands when he reached a breaking point. He knew his government had sold him out. There was no one to protect him or his family from violence from these Third World Muslim migrants. It wasn't there. There was no protection. To be clear, I am not advocating for violence, but this will soon be the reality in every European country if they don't start sending foreigners back to their home countries as soon as they possibly can-- ASAP.

Did you know that the No. 1 most popular name of baby boys born in the United Kingdom now is ``Muhammad''? It has been that way for 3 years. You would think it would be ``Charles,'' after the King, or ``William,'' after the next in line to the throne. No, it is not. The millions of Muslims who have moved to the UK are having babies, and they are naming them after the most popular figure, which now in Europe is Muhammad. This is a takeover--a hostile takeover.

  40. The report goes on to say that there was a deliberate failure in the United Kingdom to protect victims or to stop this from happening. Police discouraged reporting, destroyed evidence, and sometimes even shielded the evil men who were doing this to young women. The National Health Service discharged victims without making sure they had a safe place to go home to. Schools excluded victims rather than protected them. Taxi licensing authorities renewed permits for drivers without bothering to check if they were involved in any of the trafficking of victims. The major political parties, along with the UK Government, willingly--willingly--turned a blind eye to the blatant sex trafficking happening right under their noses--all in the name of being politically correct.

  41. The doctrine of Muslim superiority is drawn from documents written by Muhammad, which clearly state that Muslims are superior and have a duty to ``correct'' nonbelievers. For example, in one part of the Quran, it says that Muslims are the ``best of peoples for humanity'' as long as they maintain faith in Allah. At the same time, Muslims are taught to be hostile toward non-Muslims. In addition, Muhammad taught his followers that men are superior to women; that men can marry women without consent as young as 6 years old; and that men can sexually abuse and rape non-Muslim women. It is their right, they think. Where is the outrage from the so-called feminist groups on this issue? They are nowhere to be found, unfortunately.

  42. Girls as young as 11 were groomed with gifts, alcohol, and drugs. They were picked up from schools, from care homes, and subjected to gang rape, trafficking, torture, forced Islamic conversion, and lifetime trauma. These are some of the worst things that you can possibly imagine that really make you sick to your stomach, but it is real, and it is happening to hundreds of thousands of young women across Europe. The report states that, roughly, 87 percent of those convicted in the child sexual exploitation cases ``bore distinctively Muslim names.'' Surprise. Surprise. That is because these heinous acts are acceptable and even encouraged under the teaching of Islam. Islam teaches that Muslims are superior to nonbelievers, and it enables Muslim men to treat non-Muslim girls as property--as property--available for sexual abuse.

  43. This report, which I have a picture of behind me, made international news: the ``Rape Gang Inquiry Report.'' This report, of which I have a picture--this isn't a flimsy report. It was introduced into Parliament by Rupert Lowe, who had a successful career in finance before running for Parliament in 2024. It is also cosponsored by five other Members of the UK Parliament. The explosive report says that Muslim rape gangs are operating in over 40 percent of the United Kingdom. The report details how White British girls are being trafficked and exploited by Muslim men across the United Kingdom. The report claims that there have been at least 250,000 victims who have been trafficked by these third-world Muslim immigrants. You know, the report describes a consistent pattern for the Muslim rape gangs.

Mr. President, I have come to the floor several times over the last year to warn of the looming threat about Islam infiltrating the United States of America. You know, I know there are people who sometimes roll their eyes when I talk about this, but I express serious concerns about what Islam teaches and how it is incompatible with our Judeo-Christian values. This is why I say that Islam is not a religion. It is a death cult. Don't believe me. Just look at the report that came out recently in the United Kingdom.
