Are they also going to run a Jewish awareness week? How about a Catholic awareness week? What about a Christian awareness week? Maybe a Hindi awareness week?

I thought not.

I learned all I need to know about Islam on September 11th! As for Dr Fidelma O'Leary, maybe she should go live in Saudi Arabia as a third class citizen if she thinks the Moon God's cult is so terrific.

There is always one drama queen in every Irish family. Sometimes two.

You got that right!

"The event, due on February 11, comes at a critical time facing Islam worldwide, as many non-Muslims mistakenly believe the Arabic word of Jihad refers solely to a holy war of aggression and violence led by “extremists”.

I believe that a lot of muslims have this "mistaken" belief also.

And parents are paying *how* much per year to send their little darlings to this center of higher *mis*-education?

Hard to imagine.

You hit the nail on the head. I have seen a couple of these women, loosely used term, and all of them are hell bent on torturing their parents. I long for the days when Catholic girls turned Baptist and vice versa. And when you really wanted to get you mother's goat, you didn't polish your silver or clean your kitchen. And when, if you wanted to take rebellion to the max, you sort of quit going to Sunday Church. This latest form of Torture the Parents and Keep them all Stirred up Because they didnt Hug You Enough is sort of sickening.

Sometimems the world just tires me out. I think I understnad why old people don't mind dying. Some days, and I am in my sixties, I just want out.

Hm, in the south there is always one manic depressive and one really hot slut in every family. We consider being a drama queen as normal.

Maybe they should spend their time of "awareness" speaking out against extremism - for a change.

Fidelma O’Leary stands outside the Grand Mosque in the heart of Mecca.
O’Leary, a green-eyed blonde from the United States, was born in Ireland
to a devout Catholic family and converted to Islam while in college.

I think it would be a good thing to have a Muslim awareness week if you could first show videos to the students of Muslim beheading innocent people begging for their lives. Read about the spread of Islam to them with it's never ending list of wars. Show them video of the screaming people jumping from the World Trade Center. Show them pictures of villagers massacred in the Sudan and other African nations for being Christian. Give them quotes from Laskar Jihad which clearly state that their goal is the genocide of Christians. Then let this idiot, Dr. Clueless O'Leary, come out to talk to them.

Odd that Fidelma teaches at a Catholic University.

Since the very day 19 Muslims hijacked and slammed passenger jets into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon and murdered thousands of people, the National Ad Council, academic elitists, the MSM, and even our goverment have been treating Islam like the Holy Grail.

It's sickening.

There are people in this country who aren't aware of Muslims after 9-11?? I guess they goto Cornell.

Islamists are on a crusade, its time for us to have one too.

What do you think the common opinion of Jerry Falwell is at Cornell? What is it that makes the left fall all over itself trying to put the best face on Islam, with its views on women, abortion, and homosexuality, etc., especially in light of the hostility the left has for the Falwells, Baptists, Catholics etc.? It's just this: despite the idiot featured in this article, they ain't white, and they ain't Western. Ain't white, ain't Western, so they're for 'em. They're particularly for not doing anything that will lessen the flow of Muslim immigrants to the West. Modern leftism is nothing more than a genocide movement against white people and the West, it has almost no other serious component.

That must be your "Stop the world I want to get off" post:) I can't say the world has improved any since the era you mention. What were big acts of childhood (and young adult) rebellion would fail to pass muster today
