‘Although we don’t have any mosques in Pittsburg or in Camp County, we have some in Mount Pleasant; that’s really close’
A group with special operations and intelligence skills and filmmaker Chris Burgard teamed up on Saturday to teach pastors in East Texas about how to respond to the rise of Islam in the Lone Star State.
The Allied Special Intelligence Group is an organization that uses its knowledge of special operations military skills, counterintelligence and human intelligence to educate and train citizens on how to “legally and lawfully, delay, disrupt, dismantle, and remove Communists/Marxists and Terrorists networks from our communities in order to restore and protect our Constitutional Republic.”
Two of the group’s operatives, John Bennett, a U.S. Marine Corps veteran and former Oklahoma state representative, and Matt Shea, who served as a second lieutenant in the U.S. Army and is a conservative lawyer, pastor, and politician who served in the Washington House of Representatives from 2009 to 2021, took up the task of educating the Texas pastors about the threat of Islamification.
Bennett and Shea, both of whom have previously been deployed in the Middle East, were there at the invitation of Pine Baptist Church Pastor Ben Warrick. Warrick told the Daily Signal that he organized the training at his church because he wanted others in his community to be informed.
“Although we don’t have any mosques in Pittsburg or in Camp County, we have some in Mount Pleasant, that’s really close,” Warrick said. “And honestly, Dallas-Fort Worth, Plano, that area, that’s not far.”
“I want to be prepared,” Warrick told the Daily Signal.
“I think we’re in a war. It’s a battleground and I would like to be the tip of the spear and be able to do that strategically, but I’m more of a blunt force, so I’ve got some learning to do,” Warrick added.
The training began with a showing of Burgard’s film “Remember the Alamo: Don’t Sharia My Texas.”
The film argues that there is a coordinated effort to introduce Sharia law into American society, with Texas serving as the primary target. The film was used to introduce the pastors to what Islam is and why it is a threat to the state and country.
