Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard declared on Saturday that Islamist Ideology was the greatest single threat to freedom and liberty — and warned that it was already beginning to take hold around the world and even in the United States.
Gabbard spoke on Saturday at Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest, and she noted that where Islamist ideology was implemented, freedom and liberty quickly ceased to exist.

“There is a threat to our freedom that hasn’t been talked about enough,” she began. “And it is the greatest near and long term threat to both our freedom and our security, and that is the threat of islamist ideology. It is propagated by people who not only do not believe in freedom, their fundamental ideology is antithetical to the foundation that we find in our Constitution and Bill of Rights, which is that our Creator endowed upon is inalienable rights — the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”
Gabbard noted that Charlie Kirk, prior to his death, had mentioned that threat often because he understood the gravity of the situation. Referencing the 9/11 terror attacks, Gabbard said they had proved just how far Islamists were willing to go.
“It is a political ideology that seeks to create a global caliphate that governs us here in America,” she continued, adding, “And if you fail to comply, if you fail to adhere to this ideology, if you dare to exercise your God-given right to free speech, censorship is not what we face. They will use violence or any means that they deem as necessary to silence us.”
Gabbard went on to describe how quickly the ideology had seeped into the culture in European nations: “As we approach Christmas, right now in Germany they are canceling Christmas markets because of this threat.”
She then explained that understanding that rights came from God was what should make it clear just how grave a threat Islamist ideology is to freedom and liberty. A truly free society, she concluded, could not survive unless the people were willing to defend it against such threats.
