"Message from the Islamic Caliphate"
16 March 2016

Dear Friend,

"Paris isn't far from you - we will by Allah's permission do to your country what we did to Paris. We will kill, slaughter and burn your people."

This is a message to America from an English-speaking ISIS jihadi.

In a chilling new video, he warns the United States that "no matter how many times you delete our accounts or chase our places and no matter how you fight us, we are still here -- and we will support the Islamic caliphate state."

Many people might be perplexed or surprised that ISIS hasn't been defeated after so many years of resistance from the Western world but Friend, we are not.

Will you help me warn America that appeasement is not an option and stop the jihadi scum who threaten our very existence?

Oriana Fallaci would be the least surprised of all to hear that ISIS is alive and growing.

The late Oriana Fallaci became a leading international journalist in the 1970's and 1980's with her interviews of figures such as Yasser Arafat and Indira Ghandi.

She was always irreverent in the face of authoritarianism and once even angrily ripped off the chador she was required to wear to see the Ayatollah Khoumeni in the middle of their interview.

But after 9/11, her Leftist allies turned on her one after another when she directed her anger toward radical Islam in a prophetic trilogy of books written just before her death. In them, Fallaci gave a final warning cry as to how Western societies were committing suicide by not taking up arms against the jihadis seeking to destroy them.

The Leftist elites in Europe and the U.S. who once adored her now attacked Fallaci as a racist. They sued her repeatedly for "Islamophobia." She defied them until the day she died in 2006 by continuing to sound the alarm about radical Islam, which she called "the pool that never purifies."

Yet here at the Freedom Center we recognize Oriana Fallaci as the hero she was, and we will not let her work be forgotten.

To celebrate her courage and keep her warnings alive, Robert Spencer, the editor of the Center's Jihad Watch Program and Fallaci's personal friend in her last years, has written a pamphlet on the legacy of this great defender of the West and its values.

This brand new pamphlet is called "Radical Islam's Worst Enemy," and for a donation of $25 or more, I will send you a copy right away.

Oriana Fallaci's words must not be forgotten. Despite legal harassment and death threats, she dedicated her dying days to warning America and the West of the threat of radical Islam.

We see now that she was right all along. The people who tried to silence her were wrong.

"Islam's Worst Enemy" will not only remember what kind of a woman Oriana Fallaci was, but also make sure that her warnings about the suicide of the West in its appeasement of radical Islam will not be forgotten.

I write to ask you to send as generous of a contribution as you can, so I can get 250,000 copies of this vitally important pamphlet printed and distributed in the U.S. and Europe.

For a contribution of $25 or more, I will send you a copy of "Islam's Worst Enemy," but I hope you can give even more so that I can get this work into the hands of politicians, media figures and opinion makers who now more than ever need to remember Oriana's warning...

Radical Islam would like nothing better than to slit the throat of freedom.

Your donation will ensure that my Freedom Center and Robert Spencer at Jihad Watch can keep writing and speaking the truth about Islam and the dangers posed to the West. The hour is late -- we need your help more than ever.

Will you bear the torch that Oriana left behind by standing with us today?

In her memory,
David Horowitz
