After conferring with students from several universities who were concerned about both the ignorance about the objectives of Islamic fascism among their fellow students and also the “unholy alliance” between campus leftists and jihadists seeking to undermine the War on Terror, the Freedom Center has launched a Terrorism Awareness Project. This Project will provide conservative students with an intellectual toolkit containing all the elements of the truth about jihad: a speakers’ bureau featuring figures such as Steve Emerson, Daniel Pipes and Robert Spencer; DVDs of films such as “Obsession” that dramatically underline the threat we face; printed material about the Islamists’ objectives and the successes they have had in penetrating Western culture and its institutions. The Terrorism Awareness Project will work in cooperation with Students for Academic Freedom, which now has chapters on over 150 college campuses, to help conservative student activists to demand equal time—in the classroom as well as at campus-wide events—whenever the left presents its propaganda about the war and the intentions of those who regard America as “the Great Satan.”

David Horowitz arming conservative college students against campus jihad ... ping!

[cripplecreek]

No way the jihadis and leftists will be able to leave this alone. I suspect they’ll start with something small like vandalism.

[Jo Nuvark]

As I’m sure many of the conservative students will be
marked for passive terror attacks from their professors.

kwel, need to contradict all the passive stuff they’ve learned K-12

I just noticed this was in the sidebar.
How did that happen???

You’re just a wild and crazy girl, that’s all... you’re famous...

[Jo Nuvark]

Oh no! Is this my fifteen minutes?
Where’s my light? (wetting lips)

[Star Traveler]

That’s a wonderful and much needed idea. I’m glad they’re doing that. College campuses are hot-beds for the *uncritical* support of Islamic ideals (which translates into Islamic terrorism)...

There are going to be a whole bunch of profs as well as
the ACLU with their underware in a bundle over this.

A while back Walid Shoebat and another former terrorist tried to speak at UofM in Ann Arbor. Naturally they were shouted down. In a quick interview with a student afterward the student simply called it pure propaganda but “we knew that going in”.

That told me that college professors are absolving their students of the responsibility of any future critical thought.

woohoo thanks jo

[Jo Nuvark]

You’re welcome darlin’.

"critical thought."

THAT is what is NOT being taught in the education system today - HOW to think CRITICALLY.....seems many (I did NOT say all) are taught only what to think.

[Jo Nuvark]

You remind me of OUSD’s Gifted and Talented (GATE) program.

These kids are isolated, spending 4 to 6 hours a night on
homework. They never smile, have no personality and many
are on anti-depressants. Rather than give a logical and
instinctive answer to a quesstion, these students must intuit
the answer they believe the teacher wants.

The answer is white. But the student knows that can’t be right,
because it is the obvious answer. This damages the spirit of a
child. I know. I’ve seen it.

You said — “Going for the popcorn”

I usually have popcorn with my Free Republic...., just finished off a bag.

:-)

[Jo Nuvark]

Salted and buttered. Hmmmmm. Good!

[Jo Nuvark]

Are you on the road eating popcorn?

Yeah, I understand, to these kinds of speakers, the campuses are “terrorist havens” (figuratively speaking, towards their talks). These students, who get in an uproar are totally uncritical in their thinking about what Islam really is. And when you have *actual* and personal experiences, so to give *first-hand* testimony about the problem — that is like bringing a “Hitler” on campus to speak (to these students).

Another person who is very well-spoken and has the same problem on college campuses is Brigitte Gabriel...

I have listened to her quite a bit on radio interviews. She is a *real firecracker* when she speaks and you don’t “talk her down” in a group, that’s for sure. I had the opportunity of hearing her in person, at a church in Tulsa, Oklahoma last year and I was glad I had that chance.
