Mr. ROY. Mr. Speaker, I appreciate my friend from Texas, and I don't want to take up too much time. It has been a great hour. We have had a lot of good conversation. I appreciate the remarks from the gentleman from Florida (Mr. Fine.) He and my friend from Arizona outlined very well a lot of the concerns in addition to what my friend from Texas has done.
The fact is you cannot win a war that you do not acknowledge exists. Let's be very clear: There is a war being waged against Western civilization, against the United States of America, and against the State of Texas where I live. It is happening in real time, and it has been going on now for decades. In fact, go all the way back to the 1991 memorandum that was put forward by the Muslim Brotherhood with a number of provisions in it. The one I want to highlight is this: ``In order for Islam and its movement to become `a part of the homeland' in which it lives, `stable' in its land, `rooted' in the spirits and minds of its people, `enabled' in the lives of its society and has firmly- established `organizations' . . . its movement must plan and struggle to obtain `the keys' and the tools of this process to carry out the grand mission as a `Civilization Jihadist' responsibility which lies on the shoulders of Muslims and--on top of them--the Muslim Brotherhood in this country.
``The process of settlement is a `Civilization-Jihadist Process' with all the word means.''
I can keep going. This is organized. There are 600 organizations operating in this country and in Texas trying to drive the Islamification of the United States of America in direct conflict with our laws, our Constitution, and the Declaration of Independence.
This has been brought onto this country by our own actions as a government. Since 9/11, some 5-million people have been granted the ability to come into our country from majority Muslim countries, in a post 9/11 world after we were attacked.
In real time in Texas, we have more mosques being built in Texas than any other State in the Union. The problem here is that people are going to hide behind the First Amendment to say this is something that is protected by carrying out your exercise of free expression of your religion and carrying out your rights under the First Amendment.
What I am here to tell you is that this, by what I just read and by every action that I have seen in concert with this memorandum, is a political ideology that is designed to attack and take over our civilization and to carry out the civilization Jihad that I just described.
Mr. Speaker, it is for this reason that we have this Sharia-Free America Caucus. It is for this reason that we are gathering to highlight for the American people what is happening right now in real time such that if you look at Paris and London and you think that is somehow acceptable, then you are misguided because they are losing their way. So much so that I have said repeatedly that we should be as concerned about a nuclearized United Kingdom and as concerned about nuclearized France as we are a nuclearized Iran. It is coming to the shores of the United States, and it is here.
