CAN’s Mawyer leads TV news report

Christian Action Network president Martin Mawyer took a leading role for Atlanta TV news reports on Muslims of America camps in Georgia

ATLANTA GA – An in-depth investigative report by WSB-TV2 Atlanta News last night featured CAN President Martin Mawyer exposing the jihadist threat at two Muslim of the Americas camps in Georgia.

Mawyer contributed information to help investigative reporter Mark Winne have a complete body of information to expose the threat and its links to known terrorist organizations such as Jamaat ul-Fuqra.

On camera, Winne asked Mawyer how a Christian calling to “love thy neighbor” fit with what he was saying about two communal camps and possible paramilitary training taking place at them.

“When I see the threat that these camps pose to my neighbor, I am loving my neighbor,” Mawyer said. “We decided that we must alert the American public.”

Through the broadcast, CAN presented Georgia’s neighborhoods with a 1990 terrorist training and recruitment video featuring statements by Muslims leader Sheikh Mubarak Gilani and graphic detail of terrorist killing techniques available to the camps to this day.

“Everything in this video can be used to this day – how to highjack vehicles, how to set off bombs, shoot people, strangle people; there’s nothing in it that’s outdated,” Mawyer said in the broadcast.

The six-minute exposé included responses to the CAN material offered. “The remarks by the Imam were a concern to me professionally,” Commerce, Georgia, Police Department Chief John Gaissert said.

CAN also gave a copy of a detailed report by the Regional Organized Crime Information Center outlining ties, including funding links, from Muslim of the America’s Inc., to Jamaat ul-Fuqra terrorists.

The report also noted their potential for violence, mentioning acts of murder and kidnappings that Winne noted took place chiefly in the 1980s and early 1990s.

Following the telecast, Mawyer said, “This went very well, we got our information out; I believe the people of Georgia are much more aware now of the jihadist threat in their neighborhoods.”
