That's a good idea about the courses. Brigitte Gabrielle, a victim of Muslim extremists and author of the book Because they hate, suggested monitoring college classes in general.

She had other suggestions about how citizens can make a difference:

Contact your elected officials: Make an appointment with your legislator and go with a group of friends. (Groups wield more power). Bring documented information (like this post) to your officials and let them know you want to get involved in order to make a difference . Do not leave their office until they agree to look into the matter and get back to you with concrete suggestions on how they plan to initiate changes for the better.

In dealing with Islamic countries, insist on reciprocation or no deal. If they want to build a mosque or Islamic school in our country, we should be able to build a church and a Christian school in theirs.

Sign petitions to change laws. Pass laws that publicly disclose which countries sponsor terror and how much they have invested in American companies and which companies.
Support the Patriot Act and legislators who enact strict legislation that will protect us at this time of war.
Ensure wide presidential powers to protect us during a time of war.

Restrict visas granted to Islamic foreign nationals each year.

Provide for US energy security and reduce the importance of oil.

Support legislators who will create legislation that will lead to developing sources of energy other than oil.
Support legislators who will promote Western ideals and values and dismiss excessive political correctness.
Secure the borders.

Fight legislation that empowers all tax exempt religious organizations with increased abilities for political influence.

Support legislators who enact laws to discourage excessive foreign funding for religious groups within the US.
Pursue all means available to uncover the plots of terror cell members and supporters living among us.

Monitor Your Local College and University: Call the registrar's office and ask if they have a Middle Eastern studies program or a course in Islamic religion. Try to talk with some students taking the course understand the nature and content of the professors' lectures. Monitor courses to see if they have an anti-American or anti-Semitic focus. Make sure you document everything said in class. Present your findings to the school administration, the media, the FBI, the local police, and the ACLU.

Report Suspicious Activity or Behavior.

Join an Activist Organization against Terror.
Join an organization whose mission is to expose and combat the threat of Islamic terrorism. American Congress for Truth (ACT) is one such organization which works to bring change through an organized grassroots movement to oppose the terrorist threat to America.

There is an informative web site which deals with timely issues and legislation relating to our security. The organization inspires activists to get involved and take action. Sign up at www.americancongressfortruth.org.

Lobby for Patriotic Education in America's Schools: Lobby for young people to be taught more in school about our founding documents, civics, American history and its heroes and participants, and America's place in the world.

Hold school systems accountable for providing nonpartisan education. Monitor this by asking your children and grandchildren about what political positions their teachers take and whether they indoctrinate against our country. If so, organize the parents to protest in writing.

Stay informed and Speak Out: Attend seminars in your local community. Many organizations, especially Jewish temples and community centers host speakers on current affairs regularly.

Write letters to your local newspaper expressing your opinion and letting journalists know that people are monitoring what they write.

Speak up in your church, social group and among friends to inform others.

Promote Western Values in Your Home.

Plan family trips to Washington, D.C. and other historical sites to teach them to know and respect our culture and heritage. The White House Historical Society has games, toys, puzzles, and books which teach history in a fun way.

Divest your own portfolio of investments in companies that do business with terrorist-sponsoring states. Go to the DivestTerror.org web site to learn more.

Learn which Muslim organizations have ties to terror (Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Hezbollah, Muslim Brotherhood, etc.) and work to allow them no support within the US or around the globe.

Defend and support all movements toward personal freedoms in the Middle East.

Reduce your own gas consumption.

Support our troops.

Contact your library to request that they purchase this or other books dealing with the threats we face.
