October 22-26, 2007 campuses across America will be participating in an event to make more people aware of the Islamist threat. Read what FrontPage Magazine wrote about it (below are some excerpts from the article):The Week’s events will include speeches about Islamo-Fascism by prominent figures, including:
- Ann Coulter (Tulane and USC)
- Robert Spencer (Brown, Dartmouth, University of Rhode Island, and DePaul)
- Daniel Pipes (Northeastern and UPenn)
- David Horowitz (Columbia, Emory, Ohio State, Michigan and Wisconsin)
- Michael Ledeen (Maryland), Nonie Darwish (UCLA and Berkeley)
- Wafa Sultan (Stanford)
- former Senator Rick Santorum (Penn State, Temple and UPenn)
- Sean Hannity (Columbia)
- Dennis Prager (UC Santa Barbara)
- radio talk show hosts Melanie Morgan (San Francisco State)
- Michael Medved (University of Washington)
- Martha Zoeller (Georgia Tech)
- Alan Nathan (George Mason)
- and many others
The plight of Muslim women will be featured at “teach-in” panels and also at sit-ins in Women’s Studies Departments, designed to protest the absence of courses that focus on Islamic gynophobia. The silence of Women’s Studies departments in the face of this oppression is a national outrage.
A pamphlet on the subject of women’s oppression in Islam, written by Robert Spencer and Phyllis Chesler will be distributed on campuses (and posted on Frontpage next week), along with a petition protesting the campus blackout of this issue.
Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week is a protest against the censorship that has come to America, and whose chief enforcer is the progressive left.
Anyone who links Islamic radicalism to the terrorist campaigns that are being waged against America, Europe and Israel and against non-radical Muslims in places such as Darfur, is automatically labeled an “Islamophobe.” It is by this means that the enemy seeks to paralyze the defenses of its intended victims.
The progressive left is the enabler and abettor of the terrorist jihad. It has forged an “unholy alliance” with the most retrograde and reactionary forces in the world today.
The institutional base of the left is the university system, from whose classrooms it is conducting a behind-the-lines psychological warfare campaign against its own countrymen and the democratic, secular and tolerant society they have created.
It is time for Americans to rally in their own defense and answer the corrosive lies and libels whose goal is to sap their will to fight. Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week is the beginning of that answer and the first line of that defense.
So far, 152 colleges will be participating, with more signing up. You can do something right now: Sign the Islamo-Facism Petition protesting the campus (liberal, PC, multiculturalist) blackout of this issue. Sign the petition here.
Horowitz' description of his actions is yet another of the gross reversals of the truth that characterize the fascist movement of which he is a part. He claims to champion students against political oppression in the classroom, when what he's really doing is recruiting students into a nationwide network to target professors he selects because their political activity in the community at large opposes the fascist movement of which he is a member. Those students he might tempt should reflect upon the example set by a poor but gifted student, recruited by the Hitler Youth, who publicly denounced his great teacher at a famous German university, stating loudly that there was no longer any need for Jewish mathematics. When I read of this incident, I try to imagine the young mathemetician reflecting on it later during the short space that remained before his promising career ended on the Russian front. Perhaps death came as a relief.
ReplyDeleteYou’re right about the woman-hating character of some Islamic regimes. You’re wrong about everything else. This "awareness week" is obviously part of a propaganda campaign promoting yet another war of aggression, this time against Iran. Or are you proposing we invade Saudi Arabia?
ReplyDeleteOf course, George Bush didn’t start the Terror War; he’d probably have trouble starting a campfire. But the Bush Administration, led by Vice President Cheney did, indeed, start this war, and evidently means to expand it as much as possible. Iraq and Iran had absolutely nothing to to with the 9/11 attacks. This fact has been formally admitted by the Pentagon and by Bush himself, even while the Executive Branch and its proxies such as your group continue to promote the lie that it did. That the Bush administration consciously lied in making its case for attacking Iraq to Congress and the public has been extensively documented. The exposure of the administration’s Niger Yellowcake deception by Ambassador Wilson in particular was the primary motive for the criminal outing of his wife as a CIA operative by Cheney and his staff, doing enormous damage to the agency’s efforts to counter nuclear proliferation and doubtless leading to the death of other agents in the field.
Moreover, there is abundant evidence, including video records and reports by numerous witnesses, that the 9/11 attacks were a false-flag attack organized by people within the Bush administration, for the purpose of scaring the country into permitting the passage of laws enabling the imposition of dictatorship within the US and a program of military aggression.
Your cause suffers from a radical lack of perspective. Measured merely by the number of innocent people murdered, aggressive war is far worse than enforcing a woman-hating legal code. Moreover, the main reason these evil regimes hold power to start with is that the United States has consistently supported autocrats and opposed democrats in the arab world.
You are awfully sure of yourself. I think that we have perspective, and you are the one who lacks perspective.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you think of that?
Two sides, diametrically opposed, and supported by media-generated paradigms which are almost hermetically sealed. I have absolute support for my positions, and I can cite chapter and verse. Likewise, you have absolute support for your position, and you can cite chapter and verse.
However, I don't believe your side, and you don't believe my side.
I am a lifelong registered Democrat. The first Republican I ever voted for was George Bush in 2004.
I am not what you think, and neither are most of the bloggers here.
However, you would probably never accept what we are in reality, and you almost certainly would never accept our opinions.
If you want to hang around and argue, feel free, but I think it is a lost cause.
I am probably, being an ex-leftie myself, more familiar with your arguments, than you are with mine.
Put that in your pipe and smoke it.
