However, “An odd alliance of the Virginia Chamber of Commerce, Virginia Bar Association, Muslim Association of Virginia and the All Dulles Area Muslim Society (ADAMS)Center of Northern Virginia testified against Marshall's bill Friday and are working against the bill's supporters -- Virginia Anti-Shariah Task Force (VAST), SIOA and elements of the Tea Party .”
According to Pamela Geller, Executive Director of Stop Islamization of America (SIOA).
We cannot allow these Muslim Brotherhood groups to defeat this legislation and keep their pro-Sharia, anti-freedom agenda alive.
