(CNSNews.com) -- Left-wing activists and Muslim advocates are trying to besmirch and silence the mainstream national security group ACT for America, labeling the organization an "anti-Muslim hate group," protesting against its conferences and rallies, and urging lawmakers to condemn them, according to documents from the activists and remarks made by ACT for America President Brigitte Gabriel.

"We are the NRA of national security," Gabriel, a Lebanese-American, told CNSNews.com. "We want to empower citizens to become active in their community.... We want to make sure America preserves its identity, its traditions, its Constitution, its American values, including especially the protection of freedom of speech -- preserve America in the way our Founding Fathers envisioned it.”

"[R]ight now we are seeing a coalition between the Islamic radicals and leftist organizations, both working toward the same goal – that is, silencing anyone who doesn’t agree with them, trying to impose their point of view on the rest of us who love America, and using anything at whatever cost to enforce their point of view and their vision of how America should be," said Gabriel, a best selling author who founded ACT for America in 2007, which grew out of the American Congress for Truth, founded in 2002.
