UTT Testifies About Jihadi Threat at Senate Hearing (By John Guandolo)

UTT's Chris Gaubatz testified on Capitol Hill Tuesday before a U.S. Senate hearing on the use of the term "Radical Islam" in discussing the terrorism threat to the United States.

Mr. Gaubatz set the stage with laying out the threat America faces from the Global Islamic Movement:

"UTT is the only organization in America which trains law enforcement, intelligence professionals, military, and leaders on the threat from the Global Islamic Movement, the doctrine of jihadi groups, and how to identify, investigate, and dismantle them. At UTT, we hold the firm belief that in order to defeat the Global Jihad, we must understand the enemy. U.S. military war fighting doctrine, specifically the 'Intelligence Preparation of the Battlefield Manual' states war-planners must begin all analysis of the enemy threat with (1) who the enemy says they are, and (2) why they are fighting us. That becomes the basis for determining the enemy threat doctrine, which, in the case of jihadis, is sharia—Islamic law. Universally, the enemy—jihadis—whether they are ISIS, Al Qaeda, or the Muslim Brotherhood, all state they are Muslims waging jihad in the cause of Allah to establish an Islamic State (Caliphate) under sharia."
