The moonbats at Indymedia are calling on their minions to attack Davids campaign:
Horowitz means what he says, and its not at all an idle threat. Whats called for is nothing short of inflicting political defeat on them. In some ways, Horowitz has provided an opening for progressive and revolutionary-minded people to pry open and seriously change the terms of the whole debate, on campus and beyond. There is a basis for thisbut it will require a major leap in awareness, mobilization and determination.
People need to step back and look at the whole picture, the whole sweep of U.S. society and where it is heading. Students especially need to recognize what it would mean to have such a week go uncontested, to allow such forces to set the terms of discussion and political life, to have a genuinely fascist political program and ideology not just legitimized but widely promoted as the main trend on campuses.
Work needs to be done immediately to transform the campuses across the country. Horowitz and Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week need to be exposed for what they are, in diverse and creative ways. There need to be public forums and classroom discussions about Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week and the threat it poses. Campuses need to be saturated with posters. Those who are planning protests against the fascists, and defense of Womens Studies departments and Muslim student groups should be supported. The forces behind Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week need to be exposed and isolated. Other forces caught up in it need to be presented with the truth about Horowitz and what Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week is all about.
These people are not the champions of anything progressive. They are proven liars who are responsible for the death of hundreds of thousands of Iraqis and laid that country to waste. They are readying a strike against Iran, which could include the use of nuclear weapons, as part of a global crusade which they say will last a generation. They engage in torture on an industrial, world-wide scale. They include biblical literalists who want to create a world which would be a horror for women, and for gays and lesbians.
Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week must be repudiated and politically defeated. Work needs to begin now with distributing materials, like this paper, that expose what this is really all about. When the week comes, people need to be informed and mobilized, ready to deal this fascist offensive a decisive political defeat. Horowitz needs to be thoroughly called out and identified as persona non grata, someone with no right whatsoever to try and impose his fascist vision on universities. At the end of Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week, these fascists need to be defeated, deflated, discredited and sent packing. If this offensive is thrown back, their ability to launch further attacks on professors and on critical thinking and dissent will be undermined. The momentum of campus brownshirts could be reversed. A very different dynamic in the universities is possible.
The battle against Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week and the brownshirt offensive may be the crucible through which a new generation cuts its teeth and finds its place in history. All who want a better world should relish this fight.
The Muslim Student Association at Penn State is also up in arms:
The biggest fear among Muslim students, faculty, administrators, and community is that the event creates an environment of intolerance, fear, and prejudice. Faculty could be perceived by their students as fascists; students could view their colleagues as promoters of fascist agendas, and staff could be alienated by colleagues and superiors. Repercussions could lead to tension and divisiveness among students, hate crimes, and additional alienation of the Muslim community in general. Pennsylvania State University promotes diversity, equality, freedom of belief, and safety of its community. The said event compromises those values to say the least.
The MSA at the University of Washington wants people on campus to wear green to protest IFAW:
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.
The student group also is organizing a forum Oct. 29 in which professors and local Muslims discuss and answer questions about Islam.
Members of the Muslim Student Association, along with other organizations, also plan to hold protests outside Wednesday and Thursday evenings Awareness Week events.
The MSA doth protest too much. No wonder they are so incensed.
Horowitz told the WashTimes:
Provoking protest is nothing new to Mr. Horowitz, an ex-Marxist and a leader of the 1960s New Left who has been the target of pie-throwing incidents during his campus appearances as a conservative speaker. He doesnt mince words when describing his former ideological comrades.
The left has only one strategy when dealing with its opponents, and thats to smear them, Mr. Horowitz, 68, says in a telephone interview. They learned from Stalin.
Mr. Horowitz says conservatives should not tolerate accusations of hate from left-wing activists.
Were not just going to sit and take it, he says. Were going to fight fire with fire. They are the haters, and were going to stick them with that.

GREAT! There goes my St.Patrick’s day attire.
They’ll be in an uproar about Ann Coulter.

So the muzzies and their apologists are not only wanting to destroy and dominate Western culture, they want to redefine color symbolism as well.
When I wear green on Saint Patrick's Day (or any other day) , you can rest assured that I won't be thinking of Islam.
What a terrible insult to Ireland and the Irish people.
PING!
Seattle Listeners: Thursday, Oct 25 at 7:00pm, Michael will be speaking at the University of Washington as part of the Islamo-Facism Awareness Week. The event will be in Kane Building, Room 220 - be sure to attend this free event!
GREAT! There goes my St.Patricks day attire.
My suggestion....DON'T SUBMIT!
(Ireland Ping Request to Tax Chick)
Spectacular :-)
I’m heading over to Cal tonight for the IFAW lecture. Just let the Commies try to stop me!
As usual, the Left and their pals the muzzies describe others using the true definitions of who the muzzies are.....intolerant, hateful and wanton murderers of women.
Goebbels would be beaming with pride.
Michelle is sooooo cool!
Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week ??
Why not just call it what it is?
Islam Means Terrorism Awareness Week.
WOOOOHOOOO! Hooray Michelle! Hooray David Horowitz!
This statement takes the cake. The blinding stupidity in drumming up this straw man is that they ignore the obvious fact that women, and for gays and lesbians would have oppression and death institutionalized if the Koranic literalists they are defending are successful in their attempt to create a world Muslim hegemony.
