The Left Fakes the Hate at GWU (George Washington University)

fakeflyer.jpg
This fake flyer attributed to the Young America’s Foundation chapter at GWU was manufactured by left-wing punks.

If you’ve followed my work on fake hate crimes, then this will come as absolutely no surprise.

Update: Charles Johnson’s been on the story all day. See much more here.

You think the hate crimes fraudsters will get anything more than a slap on the wrist?

Don’t make me snort.

Here’s the confession letter.

As Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week draws closer, expect more of this unhingedness from the campus apologists for jihad and sharia.

More on the IVAW tie-in at LGF.

David Horowitz
blasts the hoaxers:

In a stratagem typical of the deceitful smear campaigns the left seems to favor, an obviously fake hate flyer has been posted all over the George Washington University campus with the intention of sabotaging Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week (October 22-26), and smearing its sponsors the David Horowitz Freedom Center and the Young America’s Foundation.

The flyer, which is headlined “Hate Muslims? So Do We” and masquerades as a publication by GW students now organizing Islamo Fascism Awareness Week activities, is itself a hate crime as well as a forgery. Its authors, cowering behind anonymity, are part of what has become a national movement to attack Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week.

This movement is the work of the Revolutionary Communist Party, the Socialist Workers Party and the Arab-American Anti-Discrimination Committee. It has one unvarying, malicious theme: that we are anti-Muslim. The Socialist Workers’ Party has mobilized its cadre with the charge that IFAW will “demonize Arabs and Muslims.” The Revolutionary Communist Party, which has threatened violent disruptions of this event, claims that we are committed to “the vilification of immigrants from the Middle East and Muslims of all countries.”

As we have observed in a previous statement (“Why Islamo-Fascism”) responding to these attacks, this is a version of The Big Lie that would do Joseph Goebbels proud.

The term “Islamo-Fascism” was coined by Muslims in Algeria who were attacked by religious fanatics who now call themselves the al-Qaeda Organization in the Islamic Maghreb. They slaughtered nearly 200,000 Muslims in the years 1990-2002. In fact, Islamo-fascists have killed more Muslims than any other group. (See.

Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week is an effort to give moderate Muslims support against the forces that have hijacked their religion. It is also an effort to defend Christians, Jews, Hindus, gays, and other groups now under attack by Islamic fundamentalists. We are particularly concerned about the oppression of women under fundamentalist Islamic regimes such as Saudi Arabia and Iran, and about the silence of the Women’s Studies Departments on this campus in the face of that oppression.

Why are the authors of the phony flyer afraid of the having these issues discussed by the George Washington University community during Islamo Fascism Awareness Week? Is it because they are themselves filled with a hatred they have projected onto us? Listen to what they say in their disgraceful flyer: “Your typical Muslim has: laser eyes, venom at the mouth,…peg-leg for smuggling children and heroin.” Who in his right mind would believe this garbage? This is obviously a lame attempt at satire by people who are willing to lie to the public in order to discredit their political opponents.

Real Hate:

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.

The students - Adam Kokesh, freshman Yong Kwon, senior Brian Tierney, freshman Ned Goodwin, Maxine Nwigwe, Lara Masri and Amal Rammah - said their motives were misinterpreted. Students for Conservativo-Facism Awareness hung the posters in opposition to Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week, an event being held beginning Oct. 22.

Those radicals are so hypocritical. While the conservative students are hoping to have a logical debate about Islam, those who are radical having nothing in their defense. They spout message of hate and terror. In fact, the website TheirOwnWords.com does an excellent job of documenting this kind of hate speech. TheirOwnWords compiles English translations of clips from public television in countries such as Iran so that Americans can understand how violent radical jihadists are. Americans do not realize what radical jihadists say about America.

I'm glad they at least admitted to this fake hate crime. Radicals apparently like to take credit, just like Bin Laden does as he keeps sending messages on 9/11. That video is posted on this Jihadist Watchdog Group

I actually think it was meant as satire, and it was pretty good. What is apalling was the reaction by the Liberals and the MSM, who didn't see this and just ASSumed they were real.

Liberalism, an Informational Cascade.

Even the title of their propaganda made it clear the Right wasn’t involved. We never use that kind of language. It was a Lefty’s idea of what rightwingers would say.

Living in a different universe, I can report that the "vilification of immigrants from the Middle East..." is a perfectly reasonble reaction to the behavior of people from the Middle East. After all, the residents of the Middle East have a perfect right to vilify American immigrants to their countries. They have absolutely no problem with that; and neither do I.

As for "muslim from all countries", they are viewed exactly as they deserve. On a personal level, I can choose to hate muslims on principle, based on their behavior, not on their press releases. If that is a crime, just tell me where I need to turn myself in.

Unfortunately, another school I got a degree from that has since become a bastion for left wing meat head dingbats that would starve if the had to get a real job. Like Penn State, I get bombarded by news of their hollow glories of academic awards of no importance and of no benefit to people in the real world.

As Krautheimer recently said, universities have long since ceased being think tanks and are only bastions for those who think like the left.

My own personal view is that universities like GWU and PSU are on their way out. They seem to have little to contribute other than leftist propaganda and useless lawyers (like we need more of them). It appears that tech schools that teach people how to do things and make a living are becoming the new centers of thinking in our society. That’s what universities used to be before they went to crap.

I truly dislike what universities have become. I was looking forward to my own children continuing a family tradition but the alma matter has gone so far left as to render any former pride in the university as meaningless.

"Radical" islam is The Beast;
"Moderate" islam is the Trojan Horse.
Are prominent, articulate critics of radical Islam, entitled to the same free speech rights?

Thanks for the ping. It also looks like the apologists over at the WP are covering for the lefties once again.

You are very correct. It happens all the time.

Similarly, when they fake being military, they say what they believe military members and their families would say.

It's fairly obvious that they are phonies.

Kudos to Michelle Malkin for getting on to this quickly. I agree with Paradox (post 9); the authors of the hoax did not consider that liberals have no sense of irony, and don’t recognize sarcasm when they read it.

Check out this story:

Hangman's Noose Found on NYC Prof's Door.

I call attention to this pronouncement from somebody we have encountered before: "This is an assault on African Americans and therefore it is an assault on every one of us," university President Lee C. Bollinger said in a statement.

Dare I speculate that this too will be found to be the work of leftists?
