Walid Phares (Arabic: وليد فارس‎ IPA: [waˈliːd ˈfaːres]) is an American scholar of Lebanese Maronite Christian origins. He is a professor at National Defense University in Washington, D.C. and a commentator on global terrorism and Middle Eastern affairs.

Phares is also a prominent adherent and promoter of the Sharia Law Conspiracy Theory, in which he believes Muslim Americans seek to subvert and overthrow the U.S. Government and Constitution with Islamic law. ^[1]

During the 1980s, Phares, a Maronite Christian, trained Lebanese militants in ideological beliefs justifying the war against Lebanon’s Muslim and Druze factions, according to former colleagues. Phares, they say, advocated the hard-line view that Lebanon’s Christians should work toward creating a separate, independent Christian enclave.

Phares is in close relation with the “Foundation for Defense of Democracies”.
