Why Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week Is Needed
By John Perazzo
FrontPageMagazine.com | 8/24/2007
Members of the Muslim Student Association (MSA) are up in arms over an announced event which they depict as a hateful assault against the dignity of Muslims everywhere. I havent decided what I think might be the recommended approach to this, comments one MSA member. Do we counter it with parallel events? Do we ignore it all together? Do we use it as motivation to put more work into our usual MSA activities? Says another, It would be nice to see some sort of unified response across all [MSA] campuses. A third declares, In all cases our action/reaction would be more effective if we get other like-minded student organizations, campus leaders, and professors to join in too. . . . Rather than critici[z]e this specific program, I think we need to discredit the whole [sponsoring] organization and its founders for being so hateful and intolerant.
The target of this ire is Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week, and the sponsor is the David Horowitz Freedom Center. It will be held on more than 100 college campuses across the United States during the week of October 22-26, and will be the largest conservative student protest in American history.
The goals of Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week are:
· TO EXPLAIN WHO THE ENEMY IS -- not terror, but a fanatical religious movement associated with the Muslim Brotherhood and the sponsors of the Muslim Student Association; it is a movement including al-Qaeda, Hezbollah, Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and the al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades -- whose common goal is the creation of a global Muslim empire ruled by an Islamic pope or caliphate, to be based in Iraq, once America is defeated.
· TO COUNTER THE LEFTS BIG LIE -- that George Bush created the war on terror, and to do this by means of campus demonstrations, guest speakers, and documentary films. The speakers will include former Senator Rick Santorum, Robert Spencer, Christopher Hitchens, Nonie Darwish, Wafa Sultan, David Horowitz, Daniel Pipes, Steve Emerson, Frank Gaffney, Cliff May, Phyllis Chessler and Ibn Warraq. The films will include Obsession; Suicide Killers; Border; Islam vs. Islam; and Islam: What the West Needs to Know.
· TO PROTEST THE VIOLENT OPPRESSION OF WOMEN IN ISLAM -- the honor killings, arranged marriages, child brides, and second-class citizenship of Muslim women.
· TO STRENGTHEN THOSE ON CAMPUS WHO REJECT THE ANTI-AMERICAN CURRICULUM OF THE TENURED LEFT which teaches that America is a racist, sexist, homophobic, imperialist Great Satan whose little Eichmanns deserve what they get at the hands of Medieval religious fanatics armed with the latest technologies of death.
· TO TEACH AN ALTERNATIVE CURRICULUM THAT WILL ARM AMERICA AGAINST THE RADICAL JIHAD This curriculum will teach that Islam, as currently practiced in Muslim states, oppresses women, gays, Christians, Jews and atheists. It will teach that Islamo-fascists hate us not because we are oppressors but because we are Christians, Jews, atheists, gays, and liberated women, and because we are tolerant, generous and free."
In a related measure calling upon all campus political, cultural, ethnic and religious groups to [oppose] all forms of religious supremacism, violence and intimidation, the David Horowitz Freedom Center has drafted an Islamo-Fascism Petition affirming four major principles:
· the right of all people to live in freedom and dignity
· the freedom of the individual conscience to change religions or have no religion at all
· the equality of dignity of women and men
· the right of all people to live free from violence, intimidation, and coercion
The petition states descriptively and unequivocally: Islamic Jihadists around the world have declared war on America, Israel and the West and seek nothing less than world domination and the suppression of all Infidels -- among which they enumerate homosexuals, Christians, Jews, and all non-religious people.
The Freedom Center is calling on the Muslim Student Association to sign the petition and to reject the hateful agendas of its sponsors, the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas. Casting itself as a defender of religious tolerance and moderation, the Muslim Student Association proclaims:
Sincerity is the foundation of our existence. Knowledge precedes our actions. Humility guides our conduct. Truthfulness is the mark of our speech. Moderation is the compass of our journey. Tolerance is the banner of our outreach. Forgiveness precedes our reconciliatory efforts. Patience is the hallmark of our planning. Gratitude binds our hearts together.
The facts are quite different. Founded in January 1963 by members of the Muslim Brotherhood which is the ideological forebear of all radical Islamic movements, including Hamas and al Qaeda -- MSA currently has chapters on nearly 240 college and university campuses across North America. According to author and Islam expert Stephen Schwartz, MSA is a key lobbying organization for Wahhabism, the extremist form of Islam practiced in Saudi Arabia. From its inception, MSA maintained close links with the Muslim World League (MWL), a Saudi-based, Saudi-funded organization that similarly promotes Wahhabism.
MSA also has strong ties to the World Assembly of Muslim Youth, one of the vehicles through which the Saudi government funds Islamic extremism and international terrorism. WAMY was co-founded by Kamal Helwabi (a former senior member of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood) and Abdullah bin Laden (Osama bin Ladens nephew). WAMY not only raises funds for Hamas, but in October 2002 it made Hamas leader Khaled Mash'al an honored guest at a Muslim youth and globalization conference held in Riyadh.
In years past, MSA solicited donations for the now-defunct Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development, whose assets the U.S. government seized in December 2001 because that organization was giving financial support to Hamas.
An influential member of International ANSWERs pro-Saddam, pro-Kim Jong-Il steering committee, MSA maintained a large presence at numerous ANSWER-sponsored antiwar demonstrations. While condemning the Patriot Act as an infamous piece of legislation, MSA chose not to endorse or participate in the May 14, 2005 Free Muslims March Against Terror, an event whose purpose was to send a message to the terrorists and extremists that their days are numbered . . . [and to send] a message to the people of the Middle East, the Muslim world and all people who seek freedom, democracy and peaceful coexistence that we support them.
On October 22, 2000, Ahmed Shama, then-president of the UCLA Muslim Students Association, led a crowd of demonstrators at the Israeli consulate in chants of Death to Israel! and Death to the Jews! One guest speaker at the event was Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) member Hamid Ayloush, who solicited contributions for the aforementioned Holy Land Foundation.
At a January 21, 2001 MSA event, guest speaker Imam Abdul Alim Musa declared that just as the Soviet Union had been wiped off the face of the earth, Old Sam [the U.S.] is next.
In recent years, MSA members at UCLA raised money for Hamas and Hezbollah terrorists at their annual Anti-Zionist Week.
In March 2003, speaker Muammad Faheed told an MSA meeting at Queensborough Community College in New York: The only relationship you should have with America is to topple it!
At its Annual Conference in 2003, the Iowa Muslim Student Association invited, as a guest speaker, CAIR Executive Director Nihad Awad, an avowed supporter of the Hamas movement. CAIR is a front for Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood.
The University of Southern California MSA invited Taliban ambassador Sayyid Hashimi to speak on its campus six months before 9/11.
Why is a group like this receiving student funds on 150 American campuses? The Muslim Student Association is itself a hate group and part of the Islamo-Fascist movement of which Americans in general, and American students in particular, need to become aware. Thats why the David Horowitz Freedom Center is organizing Octobers demonstrations, and thats why the Muslim Student Association is so vexed about it.
Hahaha. The terrorist sympathisers will be doing quite the dance trying to put all the little anti-terrorism fires out, if we’d just keep the heat on.
How many died in the Caribbean 5-8? And while they were all breathless over MX, America’s Midwest was being pounded into the ground. Plus the last I heard the death toll was 20’s . Maybe they have just gone to the mattresses, hoping the dummy’s (us) wouldn't’t notice.
With the Elvira what’er-name illegal felon story occurring, I was wondering if they’d have the gall to start pleading for Americans to send dollars to Mexico in the wake of Dean.
Well the MSM tried it’s best to get people all worked over it. It was so bad with that Dominica person (hyspanic), on Fox in the AM, the 4th or 5th time she mispronounced a name from Mexico, I was ready to send Fox an e-mail.
Enough already.....I’m not sending them a penny.
Hooray David Horowitz! OUTSTANDING! WOOOOHOOOO! (thanks very much for posting, Free ThinkerNY)
What dignity??
Stoopid savages deserve not respect. They claim their poorfit muuuHamHead (Pigs be inseminating him) to be the perfect role model/standard they hope to live up to. LOL!!!!!
A whole religion based on a lying murderous pedophile. Why dont we just let Charlie Manson out now and call it even! Maybe import some cannible headhunters just add to the spirit of competition amongst these disgusting immoral cults!
I don’t respect political correctness, but I do respect the truth. We all should.
Ain’t Free Speech great!
But only when it works for the liberal destructionists and their puppet-masters...
We pull off an event like this, and you’d think we would be smashing puppies skulls in the town square in front of kindergartners...
Ohhhh, the humanity!
/sarcasm
bump for later
“Do we counter it with parallel events? Do we ignore it all together? Do we use it as motivation to put more work into our usual MSA activities””
Do we set an embassy on fire? Do we chop someones head off? Do we send more money to Hamas? Do we encourage more muslims to suicide bomb christians because no one likes us?
Decisions decisions.
