Eagle Forum Award Presented to TMLC’s President; His Speech on Sharia Law

imag29ANN ARBOR, MI – Richard Thompson, President and Chief Counsel of the Thomas More Law Center, a national public interest law firm based in Ann Arbor, Michigan, received this year’s Eagle Forum Award for the State of Michigan.  The Eagle Forum is a national pro-family, pro-life, conservative organization started by the renowned conservative activist, Phyllis Schlafly, in the 1970’s.

Every year, an individual is selected from each state who has contributed to the goals and ideals of the Eagle Forum as set forth by Phyllis Schlafly at its founding.  The award to Thompson was presented during a day-long seminar sponsored by the Eagle Forum of Michigan held in Birmingham, Michigan.  The plaque inscribed by Phyllis Schlafly related it was in appreciation for Thompson’s “dedicated work for God, Family and Country.”

Violet Vestevich, president of the Eagle Forum of Michigan, presented the Award to Thompson,

This year we are proud to present the Eagle Forum Award to Mr. Richard Thompson for his tireless defense of life, for his fight against Dr. Death (Dr. Kevorkian), and his continued effort heading the Thomas More Law Center to protect the Christian and religious heritage of this country.”

In accepting the award on behalf of all the staff of the Law Center, Thompson expressed his deep personal admiration for Phyllis Schlafly and the work of the Eagle Forum.

Thompson’s 45 minute speech on Sharia law to the packed auditorium dealt with the internal threat posed to the United States by those Muslims who follow Sharia law.  He debunked the notion advanced by many of our political leaders that “Islam is a religion of peace.”  He referred to the remarks of Omar Ahmad, one of the founders of CAIR (Counsel on American-Islamic Relations), that Islam isn’t in America to be equal to any other faith, but to become dominant.

According to Thompson, Muslims who believe in Sharia law seek to destroy America because their religion demands it.  This is their holy war, jihad, against non-Muslims.  No amount of compromise and accommodation will quench that hate.  It merely emboldens them.

Thompson expressed his concern that too many Americans are ill-informed about the true nature of Islam and so are fertile grounds for Islamic propaganda.  Muslims seeking to overthrow our government and values waging a campaign of “Stealth Jihad” have infiltrated every level of our national government, our two main political parties, and major universities.

Thompson cautioned that Americans should be aware of the Islamic concept of Taqiyya, which allows devout Muslims to lie, even act as a non-Muslim, if in their opinion; it will be good for Islam.  Since the goal of Jihad is to make Islam supreme, every lie to achieve that goal is acceptable.  For instance when Muslims are weaker than their opponents, they will feign “Islam is a religion of peace.”
