Ahmadinejad’s News Agency Gets Involved in Islamo-Fascism Week
UPDATE on Islamo-Fascism Week
newsmax
A week-long series of forums discussing Islamic fundamentalism’s ties to human rights abuses and terrorism has sparked protests and charges of hate speech on college campuses nationwide.
Students on more than 100 college campuses nationwide are participating in Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week, which organizers say is designed to “rally American students to defend their country.” Events are scheduled at schools including Princeton, UCLA, Columbia University, and Penn State.
Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week is the creation of Terrorism Awareness Project (TAP), a student offshoot of the David Horowitz Freedom Center. Its mission, according to its Web site, is to counteract the “blame America first” crowd that dominates America’s universities. The group aims to educate students and other Americans about the “cadre of Islamic terrorists” who “have declared Holy War on the U.S.,” according to organizers.
“We are trying to arm students with the truth that they aren’t getting from the left on college campuses,” TAP President Stephen Miller tells Newsmax. “America cannot defend herself without the support of her people. If the citizens of this country don’t understand this deadly threat — its resources, its aims, its capabilities — they won’t be able to protect her and defeat our enemy.”
Even Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s Islamic Republic News Agency is getting into the fray, issuing two press releases to help students at Columbia University protest Horowitz’s appearance at his alma mater later this week.
Protesters went so far as to plaster the campus of George Washington University with phony fliers reading, "Hate Muslims? So Do We!!!" The posters purported to promote the Islamo-Fascism Awareness event and appeared to be signed by the conservative student group GWU Young America's Foundation.
“We did not put up those posters," YAF chapter president Sergio Gor, a senior, tells the Washington Post. “Someone took our name and used it. It was hateful. It's clear when you look at the flier that this is an obvious attack from the left.”
“The only thing people should be afraid of is ignorance of the threat facing our nation,” says Miller. “We’re drawing a big distinction between Islam and Islamo-fascists. In fact, Muslims should join us. [Islamo-fascsists] killed, raped, tortured, and maimed people, and anyone who is an advocate of human rights should support us.
“Our opponents have demanded we abandon the term Islamo-fascism and instead use only vague terms like terrorism. That is ridiculous — and dangerous,” Miller says. “It's hard to defeat an enemy you're not permitted to describe. One of the points of this week is to get rid of the political correctness that handcuffs us when we talk about the threat.
“We’re not going to back down an inch to the leftist bullies. We are going to continue this fight,” he says.
Wild Thing's comment........
LOL this is too funny.
Good grief, here they let, invited... whatever Ahmadinejad to speak at a University here in America, and now he is one of the leftie activists even though he is far away. What the heck will be next, making Ahmadinejad a Professor. Ahmadinejad getting a Nobel Prize, let's see maybe he can become Jimmy Carter's PR man too. They do have so much in common after all.

Maybe Ahmadinejad could be appointed to Ward Churchills old job, head of ethnic studies at the University of Colorado.
I will ask my usual question. Why do we continue to allow moslems to immigrate at increasing numbers after 9-11? They are coming to change us and dominate us, not to be good American citizens.

We have to be Politically Correct Tom!!!! We don't dare offend or profile anyone!!! Oh my gracious sakes!!!!
God....how did we ever get to this point??? Where did we lose control to these liberal idiots? Can you imagine what the Declaration of Independence would look like if it were written "Politically Correct"??? If Hillary would happen to get elected, we just may get to see what it would look like!! (Excuse me while I go wash my mouth out for even saying something like that!!!!)

If Ahmadinejad got the Nobel Prize he'd be amongst family because they have already set the standard. Jimmah Earle Carter, Alli Arnold Gore and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad all sharing the same prize and ideals, priceless!!!

It is refreshing to see a group trying to educate people on Islamo-Fascism. Too bad it didn't get the publicity that it deserved. George Bush has joined the politically correct Defeatocrats, mainstream media, and MoveOn.org crowd in not referring to these savage bastards as Islamo-fascist terrorists. I use the term all the time no matter who it may offend.
There are too many ignorant, stupid, and genuinely naive people in this country who won't know what happened to them until it is too late and they are chanting Allahu Akbar!

John, I know exactly what you mean.
I am for banning political correctness from the face of this earth. The world was just fine before PC came about. I would like to know who came up with it back whenever it was and lock them up.

Les your are so right, that is just what will happen too. It will be too late and they will be asking why and they had all this time to learn the why of it.
