[1] To conduct a thorough mapping and indexing of Shari’a in America. This will be the first of its kind Islamic threat analysis conducted on the US Homeland based upon open sources and intelligence gathering.

[2] To produce an interactive map that allows a macro- and micro-analysis of the current Shari’a-based Jihadists in the US, together with a fact-specific threat level analysis. This map will be updated bi-annually by a team of investigators, researchers and analysts working under the supervision of SANE’s senior officials.

[3] The detailed and person-specific information will be provided to the appropriate authorities, both governmental and civic, and will also be available upon subscription to the media, educational and research institutions, and other appropriate organizations, which will include the annual updates.

As the Director of the program, I invite you to look through our web site (www.mappingsharia.com or www.mappingsharia.us) carefully.

We have designed this site to provide you with the details of the program which we have now begun in earnest.

As most of you know, the biggest threat America faces today is from Islamic Jihadists operating all over the world and especially right here in America! Intelligence sources, both public and classified ones, inform us that al Qaeda and many related, affiliated or kindred Muslim terrorist organizations and operational cells are located in the United States. Some are actively planning and preparing for the next major wave of terrorism on our Homeland. Others are “sleeper” cells, biding time and waiting for the right opportunity and command instructions from overseas.

What we also know from our intelligence sources, and again much of this is public information, is that the ideological infrastructure is already in place for the Islamic assault on American from within America. This includes Islamic mosques, day schools, and social clubs and other organizations openly teaching historical, traditional and authoritative Islamic law or Shari’a.

Islamic law is the source of the command for faithful Muslims to war against the infidel. Sometimes this “Jihad” is taught as a personal introspective battle against the Muslim’s own demons, but just as often this Jihad is taught as a war against non-Muslims and Muslims who have gone astray.

Jihad, or Islamic holy war, can be waged peacefully through persuasion and even democratically (i.e., lobbying for electoral results), through coercion and threats, and of course through death and destruction.

Many Islamic organizations in America appear to adhere to a peaceful Jihad. Some in fact do adhere to legal and non-violent Jihad to persuade Americans to embrace Islam as a religion and even as a political ideology.

Many Islamic groups operate “underground” and explicitly advocate violence and Islamic holy war against America as the Great Satan.
But most Islamic groups and organizations take on what appears to be a legal and peaceful veneer in the English settings, but in fact preach quietly and often in Arabic, Farsi, and Urdu a very violent and anti-American Jihad.

The exact number of Islamic mosques, day schools, and social clubs and organizations in the United Stated is unknown. It is estimated at over 2,000. We do know there are approximately 6 million Muslims in the US.

What is also an unknown, and it is the single most important intelligence and counter-terrorism factor, is who provides the ideological or theological leadership of any given Muslim organization or mosque. Some are headed up by Imams; some by local councils; and some by political activists.

If we do not know the organizational structures of these organizations and who provides the religious and political instruction, we will never have a satisfactory picture of the threat from Jihad.

Moreover, while federal authorities have attempted to track financial transactions between US Muslims and foreign organizations, governments, and individuals identified as associated with terrorism, there is no evidence that a systematic study of American Islamic organizations has been conducted to assess the threat level to American security based upon the organization’s adherence to historical, traditional, and authoritative Shari’a.

It is Islamic law or Shari’a which demands of the Muslim faithful to carry out or support a violent Jihad when circumstances permit. In order to properly assess the threat level across America from Islamic Jihadists, it is first necessary to properly identify the Muslim organizations and mosques teaching and preaching Shari’a, what variety of Shari’a is being taught or preached, and how it rates on a systematic scale measuring the degree to which the specific Shari’a taught or preached is based upon one of the five historical, traditional and authoritative jurisprudential schools of fiqh (or legal interpretation) and to what degree does the particular brand of Shari’a begin advocated call for Jihad, and which aspect of Jihad.

Mapping Shari’a in America: Knowing the Enemy

That is where this highly specialized and professional program comes in. It is our task to conduct an extensive mapping of all the Islamic day schools, mosques, and other identifiable organizations in the US and to determine which ones teach or preach Islamic law, Shari’a. Further, the mapping will scale the Shari’a threat by identifying to which school of jurisprudence it belongs, its historical and contemporary call for Jihad, and whether the Jihad includes violent Jihad against non-believers.

This investigation will also map the leadership of these Muslim organizations and their other affiliations. We will also attempt to uncover any related businesses used or run by the organizations as fronts for money laundering and other illicit activities.

Finally, we will examine and map any potential targets situated near these organizations, such as city, county, and federal government buildings, schools and universities, US military installations, major utility or infrastructure sites (i.e., nuclear installations, pipelines, water supply, etc.), and transportation hubs.

The Big Question: What can I do to Help?

By emails, letters, and queries whenever I speak publicly, I am asked: What can I do to help? What can the average citizen do to protect America and its children from another 9-11 or worse?

The answer is threefold:

[1] Keep your eyes open! Keep abreast of threat warnings and new information by visiting this site and others like it regularly. Don’t ignore obvious signs. Be in touch with us by sending in tips on new mosques, Islamic day schools, and the like. There is no crime in keeping tabs on these organizations but it is a crime of indifference to pretend that the Jihadists walking down your streets and preaching to the faithful are not a threat to our national existence and existence simply!

[2] Support our program! The Mapping Shari’a in America project is sponsored by the Society of Americans for National Existence (SANE), a non-profit institution recognized by the IRS as a tax-exempt 501c3 organization. This means that your contributions are tax deductible.

This program is a grass roots effort funded by people like you: $50, $100 or $500 at a time. All contributions are tax deductible. Visit the Donate page to show your commitment today!

[3] Spread the word! We will not spend your contributions on PR. There is too much work to do to collect the data, analyze it, and to get it out to the appropriate authorities and to the public. We need your help to be our public relations effort. Remember: this is what a grass roots program is all about!

Be in touch and stay tuned. The work of saving America begins with all of us right now!

All the best,

David Gaubatz, Director
Mapping Shari’a in America: Knowing the Enemy Project
