The event offers the following speakers:

* James Woolsey, who previously held presidential appointments in two Democratic and two Republican administrations, served as the director of the Central Intelligence Agency from 1993 to 1995.

* Kenneth Timmerman, author of "Countdown to Crisis: the Coming Nuclear Showdown with Iran," has been nominated for the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize.

* Daniel Pipes, director of the Middle East Forum and a prize-winning columnist for the New York Sun and The Jerusalem Post. Pipes was one of the few analysts who warned of the threat of radical Islam to the U.S. before 9-11, writing in 1995, "war has been unilaterally declared on Europe and the United States." The Boston Globe stated, "If Pipes's admonitions had been heeded, there might never have been a 9-11."

* Robert Spencer, director of the weblog Jihad Watch, is an author and researcher who has studied Islam for more than 20 years. His book "The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam (And The Crusades)" spent four months on the New York Times best-seller list. Spencer is an adjunct fellow with the Free Congress Foundation and has written a selection of critically acclaimed books on Islam. He has appeared on CNN and Fox News and has been heard on Vatican Radio.

* David Horowitz, president of the Center for the Study of Popular Culture is the author of "Unholy Alliance," which contends America's Left is giving aid and comfort to its enemies in the terror war, and "The Professors: The 101 Most Dangerous Academics in America."

* Walid Phares, a senior fellow with the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies, professor of Middle East Studies and author of several books on Middle Eastern affairs including the most recent "Future Jihad: Terrorist Strategies Against America." Phares' research and analysis of the Jihadi ideology, strategies and movements goes back to the early 1980s. He conducts briefings to governments, international organizations and appears frequently in the media. Phares is called by many as "the one expert who understands the minds of Jihadists best."

* Walid Shoebat, a former Palestinian Liberation Organization terrorist, converted to Christianity and now warns of the imminent threat of radical Islam to Western civilization.

* Harvey Kushner, noted author, lecturer, professor and internationally recognized authority on terrorism. Kushner has advised and provided training to numerous agencies, including the FBI, FAA, INS and U.S. Customs. He is a frequent guest of all major television networks and often is quoted by news media worldwide.

* Dr. Andrew Bostom, editor of the newly released book "The Legacy of Jihad," a compendium of writings, both modern and ancient, on the uniquely Islamic institution of jihad. Bostom is a physician specializing in epidemiology. Since 1997 he has been part of the full-time medical faculty at two hospital affiliates of Brown University.

* Bruce Tefft, founding member of the CIA's Counter Terrorism Center, has trained more than 12,000 law enforcement officers and first responders and has served as the New York Police Department's counter-terrorism and intelligence adviser since 9-11.

* Brigitte Gabriel, a former anchor for world news in the Middle East and a prominent Arab-American journalist, survived a bombing in which her family's home was reduced to rubble by radical Muslim forces.

* Laura Mansfield, an author and counter-terror analyst, uses her knowledge of the Arabic language and Islamic culture to investigate jihad and jihadis in the U.S. and abroad.
