Martin Mawyer

Martin Mawyer is the president of the Christian Action Network, a conservative non-profit organization that says it is “Protecting America’s Religious and Moral Heritage”.
Career
Mawyer started as a freelance journalist and became the editor of Jerry Falwell’s “Moral Majority Report”. He founded the Christian Action Network in 1990.
Controversy
Mawyer appeared on FOX News Channel’s “Hannity,” promoting his organization’s film, “Homegrown Jihad: Terrorist Camps Around U.S.” He alleged that Jamaat ul-Fuqra has 35 terrorist training camps in the U.S. and that his organization had procured secret videotape of the training. He claimed that a Muslim-American group named Muslims of the Americas is a front for ul-Fuqra, run from a rural village called Islamberg in Hancock, N.Y.
Muslims of the Americas denies the allegations, calling CAN a “Zionist Action Group” that “disguise their conspiratorial actions and hate campaigns by which they intend to cause a clash between Muslims and Christians in the U.S.A.”
The Center for American Progress called “Homegrown Jihad” “inflammatory” in its August 2011 report, “Fear Inc: The Roots of the Islamophobia Network in America.”
Books
Mawyer is currently working on a book about the alleged terrorist training camps in the U.S. His organization’s website says “he will reveal the never-before-told story of a high-level source within MOA and our secret meetings with him/her and much, much more!”
