In the first chapter, the seven main financial sponsors of the Islamophobia network and the amount and destination of their financial contributions to the Islamophobia network are considered. The seven non-governmental groups have donated a total of more than $ 42 million to the Islamophobic think tanks.

Chapter 2: The Islamophobia misinformation experts The donations support a small group of experts responsible for producing and disseminating false information against Islam and Muslims in the United States. This small core of experts produces messages and topics that all the components of this interconnected network of money, leaders of major movements, media executives, and elected officials rely on and repeat over and over again.

This chapter deals with the activities and actions of five of these experts, each of whom produces and promotes false information about Islam and Muslims through their think tanks. This small group of ideologues seeks to portray Sharia as a totalitarian ideology and a legal-political-military doctrine that seeks to destroy Western civilization. They present Islam as an inherently violent religion that has nothing to do with moderation.

The most famous experts in this field are: Frank Gaffney , the founder of the “ Center for Security Policy” , which is known for his anti-Islamic views. David Yerushalmi , founder of the “ Society of Americans for National Existence” , proposed a law in 2007 under which support of sharia would be considered a punishable crime by up to 20 years in prison.

Daniel Pipes , founder of the “ Middle East Forum” ; Robert Spencer , co-founder of “ Stop Islamization of America” ; and director of the “ Jihad Watch” website; Steven Emerson Founder and CEO of the “ Investigative Project on Terrorism .” Chapter 3: Main and right-wing religious organizations This chapter investigates the main organizations that help spread anti-Islamic messages and identifies three types: First, groups whose sole purpose is to counter Islam, such as “ ACT!

For America.” Second, right-wing religious groups such as the “American Family Association” and the “Eagle Forum” , and anti-Islamic organizations such as “ Stop the Islamization of America.” Third, state, local, and T-party affiliates.
