And they intend to dominate, and they dominate cultures that they go into.

Gradually and then suddenly, they dominate cultures.

That's what we cannot allow to happen because it is fundamentally anathema, opposed to the U.S.

Constitution and our ideas of individual rights.

Well, it goes further than just Afghanistan and Iraq.

I was in the embassy in Cairo, Egypt, in the days where women walking around Cairo, very few had on burqas, the hajib.

And then I was stationed, or I worked with the IDF in the conflict between Israel and the proxies surrounding it.

Then I was in Afghanistan with the J-5 of the Central Command in the early days when the ground command was still in attempt.

Even in those early days, it was obvious that Afghanistan was a matter of tribes.

It was not a society, and it was ruled by Sharia.

Very strict Sharia.

In fact, when I was in the Pentagon, I was trying to deal with the stingers that we had given the Mujahideen.

So my experience in the Middle East is longer than just those few years.

And then in Iraq, I was actually in Qatar, the country of Qatar, which is basically a family-owned business by the Al-Thani family, who have a tremendous amount of natural gas.

But it is totally, most of the workers there are not even Qatari.

And you know, Steve, what they're doing to our institutions of higher learning here in the United States.

They're funding Sharia indoctrination.

So yeah, my history in the Middle East goes a long way.

Well, I'm encouraged, Steve, because just before we broke for the Christmas break, Chip Roy and I started the Sharia Free America Caucus.

We now have 24 members and basically we've just started to advertise it.
