Every Governor in America is now informed about radical homegrown terrorism.

Staff members and volunteers for the Christian Action Network (CAN) boxed up hundreds of thousands of petitions that have been sent in to the CAN offices over the past several months. The message on these petitions is simple: “America is facing a real threat of Islamic extremist within each and every state.”

“Each and every petition was hand sorted and mailed to the governors offices which represented constituents from that state,” said Michelle Matherly coordinator for this important project. She continued, “We are so thankful to our donors and membership base that sent in their petitions personally asking their governor to be more aware of the threat of homegrown terrorism.”

Though all states were represented in this massive distribution, several states including Virginia, South Carolina, Georgia and New York were strongly represented. It seems that the constituents from these particular states are deeply concerned about the Islamic training compounds called Muslims of America that have established roots in their states.

Controversial Muslim Leader To Pray At Democratic Convention

The Democratic Party convention, which will officially nominate Senator Barack Obama as its presidential candidate, will have the first interfaith prayer session and the individual chosen to represent the Muslim community is causing a stir among some national security experts.

Frank Gaffney, the head of the Center for Security Policy, says Dr. Ingrid Mattson leads an organization connected the Muslim Brotherhood organization called the Islamic Society of North America. The Muslim Brotherhood is said by critics to be a radical Islamic movement that seeks to topple non-Muslim governments.

“…ISNA is one of many Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated groups in North America,” Gaffney says in his column for Townhall.com. “[ISNA is] an unindicted co-conspirator in a terrorism financing conspiracy.”

Gaffney further notes that high-level officials from the Bush Administration have also embraced the Islamic Society of North America, which presents itself as a mainstream, moderate organization.

The Democratic Party convention is scheduled to take place in Denver, Colorado from August 25-28. The interfaith gathering will be held on Sunday, August 24.
