Losing the War at the Local Level
The war in which we are engaged, and not engaged, against the jihadis here in the United States is a very different kind of war than most Americans are accustomed.

The Jihadi Network in America
Time Magazine blames “Islamophobia” for America’s ills. Congressman John Conyers says the House bill to designate the Muslim Brotherhood a “Foreign Terrorist Organization” is Islamophobic because, according to Conyers, “Since swearing off violence in the 1950s, the Brotherhood has become a predominantly non-violent religious, political, and social service organization.” The Speaker of the House Paul […]
The Islamic Law of Slander and the Continued Destruction of Free Speech
Western leaders’ continued assault on free speech is reaching new lows. Recently free speech has been met with arrests in Europe, and, in America, calls for an end to “anti-Muslim bigotry.” Last week a man in Scotland was arrested for a Facebook post disparaging Muslim refugees in Scotland.

Where is the Mystical “Peaceful” Version of Islam Taught?
American and European leaders tell us that Islam is a “wonderful” “religion” which teaches peace and love among all peoples.

What Is The Purpose of Islamic Centers/Mosques in America?

If You Don’t Know Abrogation You Don’t Know Sharia
One of the facets of sharia (Islamic Law) that turns the light bulb on in people’s minds more than anything else seems to be the moment they grasp the Koranic concept of abrogation and progressive revelation. Islam teaches that Allah (the god of Islam) revealed Islam to mankind throughout history progressively. Allah revealed the Law […]
How Does Sharia Define “Jihad”?
Since 9/11, Presidents, Members of Congress, the media, and many others have publicly stated that individuals who commit acts of violence in the name of Islam are acting as “criminals” or “thugs” but certainly are not doing what Islam teaches because “no religion would teach that.” In fact, Islam divides the entire world into two parts: […]
Understanding the Threat
As we enter 2016 and the global jihad grows, it is critical for discerning Americans, and all people in the free West, to understand the threat we face in order to address and defeat it. Our enemy identifies itself at the “Global Islamic Movement.” It takes many forms and comes at us in many different […]

The most frequent question Understanding the Threat’s (UTT) President – John Guandolo – receives when he speaks in the media or during public presentations these days is: “Are our leaders THIS stupid, or are they intentionally advocating for, aiding and abetting, and directly supporting our enemies.” The truth is, no one is that stupid.
