On the eve of his first election, Donald Trump warned about the threat posed by an ideology he described as “radical Islamic terrorism,” sharply criticizing those who ignored that reality – and committing to counter it comprehensively.

Today, President Trump is surrounded by official and unofficial advisors convinced that deals can be done with devoted adherents to that ideology. Its financial enablers in Qatar, an al Qaeda leader now president of Syria, the surviving Hamas leadership and their Iranian sponsors are now the focus of various U.S. diplomatic and commercial engagement initiatives.

Unfortunately, the radical Islamic ideology of Sharia requires its adherents to use temporary truces to deceive infidels as part of a strategy of destroying them. Mr. Trump urgently needs a second opinion, informed by those who know he was right nine years ago – lest he encourage, and enable, the Sharia-supremacists’ jihadism.

The Victory Coalition and Israel 365 Action jointly co-sponsor their fourth briefing to address the dangers associated with ignoring Mr. Trump’s 2016 insights into the toxic ideology embraced by enemies foreign, especially in the Middle East, and domestic. It also considers the possibly fleeting opportunity present at the moment to decisively defeat the Sharia-suprmacists made possible by Israel’s extraordinary military achievements, critically aided by the President’s air strikes in Iran, materiel resupply and political and diplomatic support.

Moderator:

  • Frank Gaffney, President, Institute for the American Future; Vice Chairman, Committee on the Present Danger: China

Co-Sponsors:

The Victory Coalition’s mission is to focus on the need for victory over those determined to impose Sharia, whether by violent jihad or the stealthy, subversive kind, on Americans here at home and on their friends and allies in the Middle East and beyond.
