American Freedom Alliance mourns the sudden passing of its founder and president, Avi Davis.  
He was a great friend, a truly fine man, and an intellectual powerhouse whose sudden loss we all feel acutely.  
Avi and this organization have been a tremendous force for freedom, and the Board of Directors of AFA has been meeting to ensure that this important work continues.  We are committed to the mission, and to honoring Avi.  
Recently, Avi had written this:  
Happiness comes in life not by wanting but by giving; and then, of course, by expressing gratitude and humility for whatever small portion of good luck we are privileged to enjoy as a result. To BE happy, in the end, is to be grateful - thankful for our extraordinary good fortune to be alive.
If this is the case, and we believe it to be, Avi Davis must truly have been one of the happiest of men, and we are grateful to have known him. 
Roger Simon of PJMedia wrote this moving tribute, and this In Memoriam piece was written by Adelle Nazarian from Breitbart.com.

Over the past twenty years the United States and the West in general has witnessed a slow erosion of its civilizational self confidence. Under the influence of intellectuals and academics in Western universities, intellectuals such as Gore Vidal, Susan Sontag, Edward Said, and Noam Chomsky, and through destructive intellectual fashions such as post-modernism, moral relativism, and mulitculturalism, the West has lost much of its belief in its own values and seems incapable and unwilling to defend those values. By contrast, resurgent Islam, in all its forms, is supremely confident, and is able to exploit the West's moral weaknesses and cultural confusion to demand ever more concessions. The growing political and demographic power of Muslim communities in the West, aided and abetted by Western apologists of Islam, has resulted in an ever-increasing demand for the implementation of Islamic law-the Sharia- into the fabric of Western law and Western constitutions.

The book defines and defends Western values - and its many freedoms that are often taken for granted. This book also tackles the taboo subjects of racism in Asian culture, Arab slavery and Islamic Imperialism. It begins with a homage to New York City, as a metaphor for all we hold dear in Western culture- pluralism, individualism, freedom of expression and thought, the complete freedom to pursue life, liberty and happiness unhampered by totalitarian regimes and theocratic doctrines.

About the author:

Ibn Warraq is an Islamic scholar and a leading figure in Koranic criticism and a visiting fellow at the Center for Law and Counterterrorism, a project of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies. Warraq's op-ed pieces have appeared in the Wall Street Journal in America and The Guardian and he has addressed distinguished governing bodies all over the world, including the United Nations in Geneva, and Members of the Dutch Parliament at The Hague.
