The Forum Roundtable: Stealth Jihad and Islamists in the West

While violence remains a primary tactic for Islamist movements, those who seek death to America, Israel and the West also operate in more subtle, irreversible and dangerous ways. College campuses post-October 7 have witnessed severe and continued pro-Hamas and pro-jihad agitation (seemingly greenlighted by administrators and faculty members who have enabled and abetted the Islamist narratives used to indoctrinate young minds for decades). This constitutes only one obvious result of the West’s failure to address the stealth jihad that’s taking place across the Western world.

Frank J. Gaffney is the president of the Institute for the American Future and the host of “Securing America with Frank Gaffney” on the Real America’s Voice network.
