Pro-terrorist group doing teach-in at my school, planning counter-rally but need help...

Posted on 08/23/2006 1:03:34 AM PDT by undercoverconservative

Hey all. There is a new group on my campus called the Muslim Students Association. Their first recruiting table was today and today they passed out fliers saying that they are holding a meeting or teach-in or something to "educate people on the suffering of Palestinians" Also they were saying, and had signs all over their table area demonizing Israel and their policy to protect themselves from Islamic terrorist and countries that want to destroy them. What's even worse is their keynote speaker: Zahi Dhamuni, the co-founder of the the terrorist sympathizing Al-Awda. Because of this, I am planning to hold a counter-rally for this meeting which is sure to be an anti-Israel pro-terrorist panel. Since this is the first counter-demonstration I'm organizing, I really could use some help with the logistics of planning, debate tips, anything!! Any help would be appreciated. Thanks everyone

A little short on information. Does your school have a name and address?

LOL, also today when i was talking with one of the members, they were trying to convince me on how tolerant Islam is of other religions. That's was all well and good, but right behind her blowing in the southern california sea breeze was a flag of hamas. It'd be funny if it wasn't true

A Hamas flag -- was it on campus?
If so, post a pic if you get a chance.
I'd like to see that.

You should call the FBI and alert the local media, at the very least. Get somebody to videotape you taking some of their literature and then film the literature and the flag.

Send an email to Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh. If you can get them audio clips and pictures, they might be able to do something for you after the fact as part of their regular shows, if not also bumping the protest on their shows beforehand.

And if you like Michael Savage, he'll be sure to bring a lot of energy and passion to the issue.

Love him or hate him, Savage is anything but dull.

Debate tips? Wear body armor. A thick plastic medical neck brace will make it more difficult for them to cut your throat. Debate anonymously through e-mail. Best yet, don't debate at all. There is no sense in getting killed just to prove a point.

We are going to see more and more of this terrorist activity. The Democrats are doing nothing but emboldening the Muslims.

Definitely get some TV station there to interview you with the hamsauce flag in the background. Or if they don't come, do a video and post it to You Tube.

If you're looking for debate tips, here's the most important one I can think of: Keep your cool. Obviously, a group which sympathizes with terrorists could be a threat, but try to stay calm when debating with them. Avoid using any personal attacks or anything, just stick to solid facts about Islam and the Israeli/Palestinian conflict. If either side ends up losing its temper and embarrassing itself, let it be the pro- terrorist group, not your group. Pull that off, and you'll probably come out a winner, or at least looking better than that group.

At the very least be sure there is someone taking a video.
The likelihood of a physical confrontation by these people is great.

Try not to let them get your name/addy. Guns don't kill people, crazy muslims do.

Since this is the first counter-demonstration I'm organizing,...

Just friendly advise...
you might want to investigate that a lot before doing it.

No telling how your campus administration will take things if you start
and innocent counter-protest...and a "disturbance" breaks out.

At least check with campus police before doing anything, as well as
whatever campus office handles "events".

Many moons ago, I was with the conservative/Free Republic contingent
at some Federal Building protests (about the 2000 Dubya-Gore vote
imbroglio).
We were there as counter-protest to "Trust The People" and other liberal
groups.
Things were mostly good-natured and vocal...but there were a few
edgy moments.

I don't know if I'd want to be in a counter-protest against Islamic types.
I'd just not want to get a taste of Damascus Steel in the middle
of a crowd tussle.
