The May 3rd event will mark the kick-off event for a new grassroots global action network that is taking on the fight against radical Islam. An HRCARI spokesperson notes, “As part of this initiative, we intend to educate elected officials to help prevent the spread of Shariah Islamic law. We will work to publicize the threat of radical Islamic terrorist groups and their allies, and endeavor to protect the right to freedom of religion and freedom of speech in the face of those who seek to silence advocates of human rights against the threat of radical Islam.”
