The American Freedom Alliance is according to its own account a 'non-political, non partisan, movement of concerned Americans which identifies threats to western civilization.

In August 2016 AFA held a one-day conference 'Islam and Western civilization: Can they coexist?' in Los Angeles. Nineteen speakers included:
- Pamela Geller, Robert Spencer, former US ambassador John Bolton (keynote), Andrew Bostom, Nonie Darwish, Mort Klein, Trevor London, Elisabeth Sabaditsch-Wolff, Philippe Karsenty, Guy Millière, James Simpson and the Hon. Pete Hoekstra, Frank Gaffney, Admiral James Lyons, Daniel Greenfield and Stephen Coughlin, Wafa Sultan, Bosch Fawstin ('creator of the anti-Islamic superhero Pigman') [2]
- Karsenty delivered a speech concerning jihad and the 'islamization' of Europe. He ended his speech by showing a picture of a woman he had seen during his trip to Abu Dhabi who was wearing a muzzle, and warned that this could be seen in France if 'islamists' weren't strictly regulated. He then gave an interview with Riposte Laïque where he repeated this story. It was disseminated in several newspapers, including Europe-Israël [3], JSS News [4], the extreme-right newspaper Dreuz [5] and the Gates of Vienna website [6]
