CAN filming team meets with legislative leaders

The documentary will seek to expose homegrown jihadism, terrorist activity being planned from indigenous terrorist groups developed within our national borders.

Calling the week “very successful,” Christian Action Network president Martin Mawyer said the documentary filming team deployed to Washington D.C. carried the cause a big step forward.

The CAN documentary will focus specifically on Muslims of America and its paramilitary training camps now in operation in Virginia , South Carolina , New York and several other locations.

The three-man crew with Mawyer conducted a series of interviews taped on location with studio-quality equipment Wednesday and Thursday, Dec. 12 and 13.

The equipment included Sony XL-II digital film cameras mounted on tripods, a boom microphone positioned with a state-of-the-art stabilization stand and studio lighting.

“They were not expecting all of that, I think we surprised them,” Mawyer said after hearing comments from numerous congressional office staffers.

The team set up for operation in the congressional offices of Virginia Congressman Virgil Goode and Texas Congresswoman Sue Myrick, capturing key foundational comments from the legislators about the threat of jihadism in America .

Goode commented on legislation needed to secure America ’s borders against infiltration. He added the overall threat includes terrorists recruiting from within America also.

Myrick stressed the need for more Americans to know the threat in greater detail and to be involved with efforts to expose current activities that are likely leading up to violent jihad.

“Homegrown terrorism is absolutely a threat, and it is very difficult to deal with because of the fact that many of these groups are right now operating under the protection of our laws,” she said.

It is not until actual laws are broken that law enforcement can intervene, she added, noting that much of the activity leading up to violence is subversive, but nearly impossible to track or prosecute against.

The team also interviewed Frank Gaffney, leader of the Center for Security Policy, and David Yerushalmi, president and founder of Society of Americans for National Existence.

“The insights from these leaders will be a strong foundation for the documentary project, and will provide key context for what we are looking at as we view Muslim of America camp footage and excerpts from their ‘Soldiers of Allah’ training film,” Mawyer said.

The footage for the documentary, plus research and documented information, is already prepared.

Mawyer said editing and proofing schedules are in place, and a hoped-for completion date in March appears likely to be met. “We have our production plans lined up,” he said.
