New Book Explores Immigration and Political Power
In his latest work, *The Invisible Couper: How American Elites and Foreign Powers Use Immigration as a Weapon*, investigative journalist Peter Schweitzer examines the role of Islam in influencing American culture and consolidating political power within a particular party.
Though Islam isn’t the sole religion being imposed on Americans, it stands out as one of the more controversial, and Schweitzer backs his claims with well-researched evidence.
“I want to read a couple of your words because I think they really illustrate the perspective of these activists,” Schweitzer shared. He made this remark during a conversation with Blaze TV host Allie Beth Stuckey.
The first excerpt that Schweitzer quoted came from the president of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) in Florida.
“How can we justify living in the United States? Have we ever questioned why we’re here? The only answer that I find appropriate is if we live here to alter the political and spiritual direction of this country,” he stated.
The second quote was from another CAIR director, who remarked, “Ultimately, we can’t be full citizens of this country because we can’t wholeheartedly commit to its institutions. Our citizenship is limited to trying to shape American policy.”
“This initiates a strong push within the Muslim community where they convey, ‘Do not assimilate. If you do, we’ll ostracize you,'” Schweitzer noted. He believes this tactic is aimed at preventing newcomers who hold Islamic beliefs from pursuing the American dream.
According to Schweitzer, there’s a coordinated, well-funded movement among these activists—comprising various groups and leaders—to oppose the United States rather than accept it. He suggested that they aim to exploit American apathy to further their political objectives.
He pointed to the recent election of Zoran Mamdani in New York City as a relevant example.
“Mamdani’s election received significant attention from Tehran and organizations like Hezbollah,” Schweitzer mentioned during his discussion with Stuckey.
