May 21, 2026 - May 21, 2026 - William Federer: What Every American Needs to Know About Islam

What a night. We made a deliberate decision this month to merge our regular May 19 meeting and move it to Wednesday, May 21 - and it was absolutely worth it. William Federer was already scheduled to speak at Jackson First Assembly, a Turning Point Faith church, and it made sense to avail ourselves of meeting 2 days later to benefit from this national historian's presentation. Turning Point Faith friends, many other concerned community members filled the room alongside our WTP folks, and the energy was wonderful. We are indebted to Pastor Garry Martin and Jackson First Assembly for this very educational evening!

I (Londa Rohlfing) want to be upfront with you about how this report came together. I had my laptop with me and snapped photos of the presentation slides as Federer moved through them. Afterward, I used those images along with AI assistance to help me organize and write this meeting report. The content is Federer's - drawn from his presentation and his book What Every American Needs to Know About the Qur'an - A History of Islam and the United States. The AI helped me turn my slide images into readable prose. Mr. Federer has graciously given permission to publish the slide images as well.

William Federer is a researcher and historian - not a fearmongerer. Everything he presented is sourced and documented. He spoke graciously and without animosity toward any person. He simply laid out history, and let the patterns speak for themselves.

Here are the highlights - and for those who want the full report with slides, click below to read the complete version.

The RPM Framework

Mohammed was not only a Religious leader - he was also a Political leader and a Military leader, all three simultaneously. That means Islam, as its own texts describe it, is not merely a personal faith. It is a complete governing system. Federer connected this to Caesar's "Veni, Vidi, Vici" - the pattern being: immigrate, increase, eliminate.

Two Kinds of Verses - and Why It Matters

The Qur'an's verses are not all from the same period or place. The early verses from Mecca were relatively moderate and religious. The later verses from Medina - written after Mohammed gained political and military power - are a different story entirely. When someone quotes a "peaceful" verse from the Qur'an, it almost certainly comes from Mecca. The Medina verses, which in Islamic tradition take precedence, are political and military in nature.

How Islam Came to America

Henry Ford, wanting to break his labor unions, recruited workers from Yemen, Syria, and Lebanon in the early 1900s. By 1921, the first resident imams had arrived on U.S. soil, and the first purpose-built mosque in America went up near the Ford factory in Highland Park, Detroit. Dearborn, Michigan - today home to one of the largest mosques in the country - traces its Muslim population directly to that decision.

The Muslim Brotherhood

Founded in Egypt in 1928, the Muslim Brotherhood's documented strategy has always followed the same two-phase playbook - a quiet building phase, followed by a dominance phase. Federer showed their own infiltration map: country after country across the Middle East and North Africa, then Europe, the U.K. - and the United States.

A One-Way Tolerance Street

The strategy, Federer explained, includes guilt-tripping Christians into being tolerant - while extending no such tolerance in return. Our virtue is being used as a lever against us.

Jesus and Mohammed - Side by Side

Federer closed with a documented comparison of Jesus and Mohammed across a list of specific historical actions and teachings. It was clarifying, it was sobering, and for those of us who follow Christ, it was a powerful reminder of exactly what sets our faith apart. The full comparison is in the complete report linked above.

Today, Texas is fighting Epic City - a Muslim City ruled by Sharia Law. Read this information and let's be vigilant about Sharia law coming to TN!

Summary of where this stands as of 5-31-26 per AI:  

"The TX project is legally contested on multiple fronts, construction has stalled, and both state and federal investigations are active. It has not been stopped, but it has not moved forward either. The fight is very much ongoing."

I asked AI (Claude), the current status of this in TN - and here is the answer. Claude - nor any AI is not necessarily correct, so I caution you to check this out - do your own homework, but this is a start.  

"Here is an accurate, balanced summary of where things stand in Tennessee specifically:

Tennessee already has a foreign law ban on the books. Tennessee was one of six states that enacted foreign law restriction bills between 2010 and 2012. Tennessee's law has broader, neutral language and does not mention Sharia by name - it restricts courts from applying foreign or religious law that violates constitutional rights.

A new 2026 Tennessee bill went further - then pulled back. Tennessee HB2279/SB2644 added the "Crush Transnational Repression in Tennessee Act." The original bill specifically identified Sharia Law by name as an example of foreign law to be criminalized - but it was amended to remove that specific language before passing the House. It was headed to the Senate State and Local Government Committee as of March 2026. Importantly, removing the Sharia language does not change the fact that any behavior linked to Sharia Law that violates existing law is already prohibited in Tennessee.

No EPIC City equivalent has been proposed in Tennessee - nothing in the search results indicates a similar Muslim-centric development project has been announced or proposed in Tennessee as of today.

The national legislative picture is accelerating. 2025-2026 marks a new acceleration of "American Laws for American Courts" legislation nationwide, with Georgia, Missouri, and other states advancing new bills. At the federal level, Rep. Chip Roy introduced the "Preserving a Sharia-Free America Act" in October 2025, which would prevent foreign nationals who observe Sharia from entering the U.S."
