Hala Dillsi, a member of the UW Muslim Student Association, believes Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week promotes fear and intolerance. She is distributing green armbands and encouraging people to wear T-shirts that are green — traditionally the color associated with Islam — on Wednesday in solidarity with local Arabs and Muslims.

That should help, eh?

“paint all Muslims as terrorists.”

I dont believe all muslims are terrorists.

I believe all muslims aid and abet and cover for the 5% that are terrorists. And that alone is the core reason they are not like christians and jews who shun anyone who uses violence to spread religious fervor. Aside from all their genital mutilations,oppression of women and genocide of homosexuals.

Amin Odeh, a board member with the local Arab American Community Coalition, said he agrees that "radical anything is dangerous — radical Muslims, radical Christians, radical Jews. Education is needed"...

My reading of this is that education is what is happening here.

The World Can't Commies are in up in arms over IFAW. Moonbats think Bush is a more dangerous threat to the planet than Islamofascist crazies who murdered 3,000 Americans in 2001.

“But some local Muslims say the week fosters Islamophobia...”

So stop murdering people, and you won’t have to deal with it.

some local Muslims say the week fosters Islamophobia and racism and attempts to paint all Muslims as terrorists.

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?

Wow, and in Seattle of all places! That place was a liberal hotbed back in the mid 1970’s when I was there, I figure it still is. I look for the loony left to find some way to severely disrupt this. They’re stupid enough to take the bait, and make this national news.

If Islam is your religion but you reject Facism, then this week, for you, should be like any other.

Wonder why these sorts of things don’t get them upset?

Saudi Arabia - Conversion by a Muslim to another religion is punishable by death. Bibles are illegal. Churches are illegal. Easter celebrations are illegal. It is punishable by death for a non-mulsim to enter the “holy” muslim cities of Medina and Mecca.

Yemen - Bans proselytizing by non-Muslims and forbids conversions. The Government does not allow the building of new non-Muslim places of worship.

Kuwait - Registration and licensing of religious groups. Members of religions not sanctioned in the Koran may not build places of worship. Prohibits organized religious education for religions other than Islam.

Egypt - Islam is the official state religion and primary source of legislation. Accordingly, religious practices that conflict with Islamic law are prohibited. Muslims may face legal problems if they convert to another faith (up to and including death). Requires non-Muslims to obtain what is now a presidential decree to build a place of worship.

Algeria - The law prohibits public assembly for purposes of practicing a faith other than Islam. Non-Islamic proselytizing is illegal, and the Government restricts the importation of non-Islamic literature for distribution. The country has passed the “Regulation of Religious Practice” law, which stipulates a punishment of two to five years’ imprisonment and heavy fines for anyone convicted of urging a Muslim to change his religion.

Syria - The constitution requires the president to be a Muslim and specifies that Islamic jurisprudence is a principal source of legislation. Sharing your Christian faith is discouraged as “posing a threat to the relations among religious groups” and carries a penalty of up to life in prison. A Christian is not allowed to proselytize – ever. Churches who want to hold an extra service must get a government permit. Sermons are routinely monitored, as is church fundraising.

Jordan - Has the death penalty for any Muslim selling land to a Jew.

Sudan - Conversion by a Muslim to another religion is punishable by death.

Pakistan - Conversion by a Muslim to another religion is punishable by death. Bans proselytizing by non-Muslims. Christians regularly put in prison for charges of blasphemy. Islam is the state religion, and in a court of law the testimony of a Christian carries less weight than that of a Muslim. Section 295(c) of the Penal Code calls for a death sentence for anyone who defiles the name of the Prophet Muhammad and requires the testimony of four Muslims for a conviction. This fosters an environment in which Muslims can feel free to use intimidation and violence against religious minorities for personal gain. Also, if any criminal Muslim rape with any Christian female and then take plea that she has accepted Islam and marry with him. Such person is not culpable under Pakistani criminal law

Qatar - Islamic instruction is compulsory in public schools. The government regulates the publication, importation, and distribution of non-Islamic religious literature. The government continues to prohibit proselytizing of Muslims by non-Muslims.

Malaysia - Under Malaysian law, any convert to Christianity must apply to a shariah (Muslim law) court to legally renounce Islam. Many Christians prefer to remain silent converts rather than take their battle to the shariah courts, where apostasy or conversion out of Islam is punishable by whipping, fines, imprisonment and—in the most extreme application—death. In a country where Muslims account for more than half of the population, conversion from Islam is punished with a 5-year prison sentence and a $3,000 fine. A Malaysian Muslim who marries a non-Muslim and who converts the non-Muslim to Islam is rewarded with an apartment, a car, a one-time payment of $2,700, and a monthly stipend of $270.

The Maldives - In the island paradise visited by tens of thousands of tourists each year, Christianity is simply not tolerated. While local Christians – said to number around 300 out of a total population of 300,000 – do get together to worship, they do so at the risk of imprisonment or worse if discovered by the Muslim authorities. Bibles are banned, and tourists can be arrested for trying to bring them into the country.

England - Bradford, Yorkshire, UK. Pop. 300,000 - 20% Islamic. Local police required to tell community elders the location of girls who run away to escape arranged marriages. Bars and liquor stores in the Lumb Lane / Manningham Lane area of the city ‘requested’ to close on Fridays. Schools, colleges, and health clinics have to have separate areas for women, with a copy of the Koran available. Public critcism of Islam or it’s adherents, such as letters to the local paper, emails to friends, speeches etc, can and has led to criminal charges ‘Using words intentionally and wilfully to cause fear, hate, or distress. Christmas decorations not to be put up, as this may make the Moslems feel ‘culturally overshadowed’. Shops ‘requested’ not to display easter eggs for the same reason. The term ‘requested’ means not legally enforceable but local police warn that they cannot intervene if your premises get ‘damaged’ somehow. Local councillors and MPs have encouraged all this for the past 15 years. Bradford Northwest MP Ann Cryer regularly appears with long sleeves and her head covered. She once stated that women in Islam are properly liberated and that Islam is an example to us all.

campus activities such as holding sit-ins outside women's studies departments to protest "the silence of feminists over the oppression of women in Islam"

The militant fem-hags are in a "enemy of my enemy is my friend" situation regarding Islam. Their main enemy is of course America and Western civilization, so Islamists are their friends of convenience. ...for now.

When I was in the 3rd grade (1948), I had a nun who spent a lot of time telling us about Islam. She pointed out that the flag of Saudi Arabia bore the shahada, "There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is his Messenger," and Mohammed's sword - - the means by which Islam would be spread.

As long as “moderate” Muslims refuse to even help clean out their own house, they should expect racism and Islamophobia. Only a suicidal moron would interpret their recalcitrance to help as anything but general agreement, if not actual cooperation with, the terrorists in their midst.
