Platform
The UAC platform was written to formulate the primary policies of the United American Committee. Finalized in 2005, the platform lays out the foundation of the UAC. Focusing on countering the spread of Islamic extremism in America, the platform promotes beliefs held by members of the United American Committee, and encourages a tough stance on the issue of terrorism and Islamic extremism in the United States.
- Our goal is the unity of all Americans, against the threats of Islamic extremism which face our nation and a goal of ensuring a secure future for America. We will accomplish our goals set forth through the following actions: Educate our society on the natures of our enemies. Inform the American people on issues which must be resolved.
- Our goal is that freedom for all religious faiths continues, insofar as they do not endanger the American people, or the existence of democracy.
- Our goal is the education of the American people regarding the philosophies and activities of our enemies which are operating from within the United States borders. Furthermore, it is the duty of every American to report to authorities any activities observed which may inflict harm upon the American people.
- We will promote awarness of the dangers in lenient sentencing of terrorists and the benefits of harsh sentences in regards to terrorist activities.
- We will educate the nation regarding how our enemies may use our immigration policies against us.
- Our nation's security shall come first and foremost. The United American Committee is dedicated to protecting the American people, and allowing them to live safe and comfortable lives, without the threats of Islamic extremism and terrorist activities. We feel a key to accomplishing this is by maintaining a secure border. Our goal is to promote citizen involvement in this issue, through showing support for border patrol and immigration agents as well as assisting by encouraging on the ground support through volunteer activism.
- We encourage close scrutinization of the funding of any organization from a foreign source, and are dedicated to bringing attention to the American people of any foreign funded organization which may pose a threat to the existence of democracy.
- Our goal is to work towards ending dependency on oil, and educating the American people on the dangers of importing oil from countries tied to Islamic extremism. The United American Committee also encourages automotive corporations to pursue alternative fuels in order to help decrease the funding of foreign regimes which have known ties to Islamic extremism.
- The United American Committee believes education is a key to a bright future. We desire for the education system of America to teach our youth the facts, and the true nature of our extremist enemies. We hope to encourage our nations educators so that they shall not feel pressure to withhold vital information for fear of reprimand due to political correctness. Our youth are our nation's future. We must hold their education to the highest level of importance.
- Our goal is to encourage Muslim Americans to embrace democratic ideals, and the American way of life. All citizens are equal and are entitled to the rights granted by the United States constitution. These rights may only be revoked when an individual, regardless of creed or race, commits an act against his/her fellow American or against the American populace, whether by action or intent. We encourage American Muslims to denounce the ideals of our extremist enemies, and to stand against our enemy's terrorist actions.

Famous quotes containing the word platform:
“I have never yet spoken from a public platform about women in industry that someone has not said, But things are far better than they used to be. I confess to impatience with persons who are satisfied with a dangerously slow tempo of progress for half of society in an age which requires a much faster tempo than in the days that used to be. Let us use what might be instead of what has been as our yardstick!”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877?)
“I have rather a strange objection to talking from the back platform of a train.... It changes too often. It moves around and shifts its ground too often. I like a platform that stays put.”
—Woodrow Wilson (18561924)
“The use of literature is to afford us a platform whence we may command a view of our present life, a purchase by which we may move it.”
