RFDAH Liberty Challenge

RFDAH Inaugural Liberty Challenge

RFDAH proudly issues its Inaugural Liberty Challenge to defend Freedom of Speech. The Liberty Challenge is a response to the attempts to silence US authors by suing them in foreign courts. To date, such Judicial Jihad has already claimed the authors of Alms for Jihad, Funding Evil, and almost three dozen others. However, there is a small flicker of hope that the Liberty Challenge hopes to fan into a furious flame.

The Liberty Challenge consists of three parts, with an award for the third portion. The partitioning is derived from Dr. Ehrenfeld's recent interview on Radio Free Dar al Harb.
