Zowie, the point of it is SPEAKING IT OUT LOUD. Don’t you see how ‘Islamofascism’ and many related words are practically forbidden? And here they dare name the unspoken word and bring awareness to it.

Excellent. I am so glad to see this.

Much from the state department. The rest from credible newspapers.

It is the stated aim of the terrorists to impose Islam and Sharia law over the whole world.
The rest of the Muslim world thinks that would be a desirable thing too. In fact, that it would be the ONLY right thing for us all.

The truth hurts. They’re outraged that the image in the mirror held up to them isn’t how they see themselves.

Muslims see themselves only as being righteous - in tune with Allah - so everything they think, do, and say is good. Everyone else is filthy and must die or become tributaries.

>> Does Black Awareness Week foster racism and attempt to paint all Whites as evil? Does Cinco de Mayo foster racism and attempt to paint all Whites as imperialist aggressors? Does May Day foster class hatred and attempt to paint all capitalists as oppressors and cultural overlords?<<

Umm... you ain’t been on campus since before the 50s, have you? :^D

Well the few non-religious ones don’t. Kind of like the people that go to church only on Christmas and Easter.

A non-religious Muslim is not a Muslim. Even those who are culturally Muslim, but not believers, are unlikely to report Jihadis to the FBI or police

A Muslim is pro-Jihad to the degree that he's a believing Muslim

Amid World War II, did we have Nazi German Awareness Week on college campuses? Why not? [Is it really true, oh veterans of the era, that almost all Americans already were actually acutely aware?] Did local German-American bunds and Nazi solidarity organizations object vociferously to the denigration of Adolf Hitler and his Nazi goon squads? What would happen to them if they did?

Why do I ask these questions? Simple. We’re fighting an existential war against enemies who very recently massacred three thousand of our compatriots in one morning and who promises and plots every day to do worse to us survivors. Yet the political party on the opposite side of the ideological chasm from us on this forum neglects even to recognize the existence of the threat.

Someone please check on me after I pass out.

And they wonder why staph is spreading...it’s the foot baths I tell ya! Gnarly yellow, curled up toenails.

Thanks for the tootsie ping...ya got me started.

If they want a foot bath they should have to pay and go to a salon and have a pedicure.

If they only celebrated Christmas, they might get a home ionic foot spa!

I’m in the College Republicans club at Ohio State. David Horowitz is the founder of Islamofascism Awareness Week, and he was going to speak to us but he had to cancel due to scheduling conflicts—instead he was going to speak at...drumroll...COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY! ‘Bout time they got a decent speaker there.

Anyway, some ‘celebrate diversity and tolerance’-type groups (not too tolerant of this, eh?) got all upset about it because they thought the CR club was hosting it and started calling the club president and complaining. We had to explain we had nothing to do with it and that Horowitz organized it, not us. Who knows if they listened or not, but the rage seems to have died down.

You want some Islamofascism awareness but can’t do it on a college campus? Watch “Stalking Jihad” on the History Channel (which is airing right now, I might add) or go see The Kingdom. Both are accurate descriptions (with real footage) of the horrors of radical Islam.

“we’re all pretty much aware that Muslim terrorists exist. I don’t see the point of this.”

We are, but academia is in denial big time. They say that any talk about Muslim terrorists is just an excuse for racism. These proefesors are literally brain washing youth. Even on Christian campuses.

is intended to “confront the two Big Lies of the political left: that George Bush created the war on terror and that Global Warming is a greater danger to Americans than the terrorist threat”...Hey, there’s the point.
