Terrorists fervently believe they are being good and faithful Muslims when they follow the 'Wahhabist, Selafist and Jehadist' Islamic teaching to commit acts of jihad. With 2.5 million Muslims in the U.S., this teaching represents a serious threat inside our walls, argues Katharine Gorka, president of the Council on Global Security. And policymakers who fail to grasp this fundamental reality will leave the nation defenseless and unsafe. Ms Gorka works closely with US government agencies, law enforcement and the intelligence community in understanding the threat posed by Islamic terrorism and radical ideologies. Her remarks were recorded at the February 2016 Conservative Women's Network luncheon in Washington DC. For a brief outline of the Wahhabist, Selafist and Jihadist teaching, see http://cblpi.org/is-the-us-ready-for-isis/.

Clare Boothe Luce may be remembered as an equal rights feminist, argues Texas Right to Life Director Elizabeth Graham, yet her brand of feminism — which valued life as the foundation of equality of the sexes — stands in stark contrast to the modern-day feminist cause "that militantly demands the right to kill their children as a condition of their publicly-recognized equality with men." The abortion industry is the mantle of modern-day feminism, and the abortion death toll has risen to the tens of millions. Graham discusses the policy impact of the recently-released videos that exposed Planned Parenthood's selling of baby body parts. Graham's presentation was recorded at the Institute's Texas Women's Summit held in Fort Worth TX in October 2015.
