VISTA
A couple dozen protesters gathered outside the Shadowridge Country Club on Thursday to protest a scheduled speech by Janet Levy, a political activist who has spoken across the country on what she calls the Islamist infiltration of American society.
But Levy fell ill early Thursday morning, and at the last minute had to cancel her appearance as the keynote speaker for a meeting of the Federation of Republican Women in Vista, according to the group’s president.
Levy, whose writings appear on websites such as American Thinker, could not be reached for comment. Her blogs also appear on womenagainstsharia.com, including a 2010 posting questioning whether the United States is a “de facto sharia state,” and arguing that “Muslims now enjoy more freedom of religion and speech under our Bill of Rights than non-Muslims.”
