FREEP this poll @ DailyPennsylvanian.com (middle of the page)...

Was it necessary for Penn College Republicans to change the name of Islamo-Facism Awarness Week to Terrorism Awareness week upon the insistance of the Muslim Student Association?

I wrote a letter to the editor about this...hopefully it gets published. The CRs (College Republicans) backed down and changed the name to Terrorism Awareness Week because of pressure from the Muslim Students Association, whose Islam Awareness Week is this week as well.

The CR's have planned some interesting events, including speeches by Daniel Pipes, Stephen Gale, Ian Lustick, and fmr. Sen. Rick Santorum.h

Yes, it was neccesary to change the name 31%

No, it was not necessary to change the name 63%

It was necessary, but perhaps another name 2%

I don’t know 5%

So, it was the idea of the Muslim Student Association to encourage the name change from Islamo-Fascist Awareness to Terrorist Awareness? That is a remarkable and welcome admission that Islamo-fascism is the equivalent of terrorism.

What a welcome development.

It was necessary, but perhaps another name. ............. “Mad Mullahs Insanity” works for me.

I guess the college Republicans were afraid of being beheaded. A legit fear, IMHO.

FREEP THIS POLL ***PING!*** FRmail me if you want to be added or removed from the Fearless Poll-Freeping Freepers Ping list. And be sure to ping me to any polls that need Freepin', if I miss them. (looks like a medium volume list) (gordongekko909, founder of the pinglist, stays on the list until his ghost signs up for the list)

The left is uneasy now that we are calling attention to the presence of millions of members of the cult of death, sometimes erroneously called the “religion of peace”.

Terrorism, Which Is Based On Islam 98% of the Time, Awareness Week.

Probably necessary to prevent the muzzies from going on the rampage and burning and beheading people.
