That's nice.

Oh, and "National Project to Defend Critical Thinking and Dissent in Academia" is a project of the Revolutionary Communist Party, if I'm not mistaken.

The page lists all the counter protests.

I knew that Penn State (State College) had a problem - the FBI even has an office there - but look what this fella is claiming:

Labeling an entire religion as fascist is offensive, inaccurate and inappropriate since it conveys a faulty image of more than a thousand Muslims at Penn State, and a billion Muslims around the world.

Tuition underwritten by Pennsylvania taxpayers.

Many Americans automatically think Muslim women are oppressed,” Harness said. “But from what I’ve learned in women’s studies classes, America needs to be more cautious with regard to misidentifying oppression versus choice.”

Gotta love my school.

Islamofascism awareness is a direct challenge to multiculturalism.

I will never understand how people who supposedly support free speech, dissent and critical thinking can fail to recognize that political Islam is the enemy of all of those things. I can't believe their heads don't explode from the cognitive dissonance.

Standing up for yourself, your country, and your culture is now a form of imperialism, unless you were a winner in the victimhood tag game ("You're it!" "No, you're it!" "Ok...we're ALL victims").

Anne McGrath is the President of the New Democratic Party (NDP) of Canada. She was elected to the position on September 10, 2006 at the party's convention in Quebec City. Prior to her election, she was Director of Operations for the federal NDP caucus, and a frequent commentator in the media. Previously, she was an activist in the labour, student and women's movements [1] and has been employed by CUPE National & Oxfam Canada. In 1995, McGrath was the Alberta New Democratic Party's candidate in a provincial by-election in Calgary McCall and came in third place.[2] In 1984 federal election, she ran as candidate for the Communist Party of Canada in Edmonton-Strathcona, placing seventh.

New baby eats, sleeps and poops, which is what they are supposed to do. He was awake for a while last night, and was just checking things out. I hope/assume being cross-eyed is normal in a 3 day old baby. Not sure what eye color will be yet, they are gray now.

Did your post #1 contain the word "first" in any recognizable language, or use work arounds to spell words that aren't approved.

BTW, weirdest thing I ever saw, at Storm2K blog, they set up a filter, because people will sometimes accuse others of "wishcasting" (making a forecast for what they want to happen, like a hurricane hitting their own town (no, really, some weather geeks do that)), so that typing "wishcasting" would display "wonderful forecasting".

Here's what I mean...

The Zionist Betrayal was the pivot point of modern history, the axis on which the world shifted. The story is taught to every schoolchild [college student -- Beagle], marked by a moment of silence at noon on the anniversary of the attack. we all know that on that terrible day, renegade elements of the Israeli government struck targets in the United States, and the holy city of Mecca, attempting to blame the actions on radical jihadis and discredit all of Islam. We all know that their plan was discovered, Israel itself overrun, while the forces of Islam spread their beneficence across the globe. And yet...what if all that we know of these attacks was wrong? What if the Zionists were not behind the Zionist Betrayal?

Khomeini used these same kind of folks to help him get in, but once he was in power--and his power was absolute--they were expendable.

Also--I doubt very much whether the anti-I.F. Week effort has bubbled up spontaneously. It looks to me like someone--the Wahhabis? George Soros?--has put in a lot of time, money and effort to try to prevent students from hearing the truth.

You race have to realize that race using the word "race" as often race as possible gets you race extra brownie race points and guarantees tenure race.

It's almost as if they are trying to tell us something, like opposing Islam is racism, but i must confess its all over my head, i guess i need a masters to understand the complexity.

Senior Citizen Stops Suicide Bomber

FORWARD OPERATING BASE KALSU, Iraq, Oct. 18, 2007 — A 72-year-old man stopped a suspected suicide bomber from detonating himself at a checkpoint in Arab Jabour, Oct. 14.

The man approached a checkpoint where Mudhehr Fayadh Baresh was standing guard, but did not make it very far.

Baresh, a tribal commissioner and member of the Arab Jabour Concerned Citizens program, said he ordered the man to lift his shirt - using training received from Coalition Forces - when he did not recognize him as a local villager.

The suspect refused to lift his shirt. Baresh repeated the command again, and the suspect exposed his suicide vest, running toward the checkpoint.

Baresh opened fire which caused the vest to detonate, killing the suspect.

If you think there is going to be a major physical backlash against Muslim communities in the U.S., I would disagree. Something awful would have to happen in order for that to occur, and here I am talking something apocalyptic that would make 9/11/01 look mild in comparison. I don't believe terror organizations have that kind of capability. In the meantime, that kind of speculation is not generally welcome at LGF (if that was indeed the gist of your post).

re: #131 Le_Patriot

absurd
PIMF

Very interesting insider view of Matthew Abraham here:

Our sort of colleague Matthew Abraham is still obsessed with Israel.
Abraham's leading of the Pre-Text discussion list last year to promote anti-Israel thinking is now triumphed with Abraham's fascination with the Dershowitz/Finkelstein' feud. Nothing better than squaring Jews against one another, particularly in an effort to downgrade the legitimacy of the Israeli State. We saw this in American Civil Rights in the '60s when southern whites paraded local African Africans in front of the cameras as "opposed" to them northern agitators. Abraham seems to enjoy this rhetorical ploy. "Hey a Jew who opposes Israel. See! Israel is not legitimate! If Jews think so, it must be true!"
It's all one big yawn. But it keeps closet activists like Abraham happy. This kind of "political" activist writing is based on maintaining the solid lines of right and wrong. American (or the West) and Israel always occupy the wrong side. The East (and particularly Said's distorted vision of the so-called victims of imperialism, notably the Arab nations and peoples) are on the right. It's that simple.
Or is it?
So many inaccuracies in Abraham's simplistic historical summary. But besides his own implicit racism:

Denying nationalism to one people - his distorted and inaccurate reading of Zionism - and allowing it to another, the Palestinians is racist
His blatant racist accusation of “ethnic cleansing” which has no relationship to reality
There is nothing more racist than comparing Jews to Nazis, rhetorical ploy 101
Usage of Zionist as the boogy-man. Total racist. And total lack of knowledge of what Zionism is. How easy to just throw that word around: BIG BAD ZIONISTS!

This is one of the leaders of the anti-Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week movement.

Figures.

re: #148 scaramouche

Bravo!

Yeah, I'm doing a little digging on the author of the hilariously meandering article "Islamo-Fascism very racist concept" (Muslims are a race now?), Fedwa Wazwaz.

Her bios describe her as Palestinian Muslim activist (are there any other?), the sole member of Interfaith Minnesotans for Middle East Justice, and the communications director for a Twin Cities Muslim organization called "Islamic Resource Group", and a writer for the CAIR founded "Independent Writer's Syndicate". Needless to say, she's a professional propagandist:

The word Islam is derived from the root word "silm," which means submission and peace. Islam means peace and is achieved through submission to God. (Wrong)

Finally, Badawi touched upon the word "jihad," which means struggle, but is often mistranslated as "holy war." Jihad has many forms, from the spiritual struggle against the self to the physical struggle against aggressors, whether Muslims or non-Muslims (Too bad there's zero evidence with any authoritative Islamic text for jihad as a "spiritual struggle)

A great article about how the Qur'an is not eternal, not a message for all people for all time, that the Prophet Muhammed was not "the best example for mankind", that's right, the Qur'an is CONTEXTUAL, you stupid Islamophobes: Does the Qur'an promote Violence? (Many Muslims seem to think so)

And of course more semi-literate rantings about those damn J000s and intolerant Jihadophobes:

re: #157 scaramouche

For 1000 years, Arabic was the primary international language of commerce, scholarship and politics, much as English is in today’s world. In fact, over the centuries English adopted many words that were either borrowed directly from Arabic, or were absorbed indirectly through other languages, especially Spanish.

It then goes on to list a small number of words which come from arabic, like shampoo and arsenic.

However, if you open up any English dictionary you will find more often than not words derived from the Greek or Latin.

You would think for a language that supposedly was so dominant for 1000 years, there would be a bigger footprint.

re: #157 scaramouche

And speaking of raising awareness, Prof. Mo Elmasry, a popular academic. delegate at the Liberal leadership convention and head of the Canadian Islamic Congress wants us all to know the great debt the English language owes to Arabs.

Wow! I've never seen such a pile of lies in my life. As someone who knows a thing or two about language, I can say that at least half of his claimed etymologies are utterly fraudulent. Examples: "Guitar" ultimately derives from the Greek "kythara". And "pajamas" is an Indian/Hindi word.

Just because some of these words made their way to English through Arab intermediaries, doesn't mean they're "Arabic" words.

What lies.

"National Project to Defend Defeat Critical Thinking and Dissent in Academia"

Fixed.

actually, the Indiana: Islamofascist Follies article isn't too bad.

Its main thrust is how Islamofascism Awareness Week should concentrate its fire on Islamists, rather than the Liberals who support them. I don't agree 100%, but it's a reasonable point.

The article also has a very good counter-point argument included.

Penn State: Muslim Student Association’s Response to Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week.

btw: Penn State MSA succeeded in bullying College Republicans into censoring the "Islamo" out of IFA Week;

The College Republicans were pressured into renaming the week out of respect for the MSA's objections after a meeting with Penn's Muslim Students' Association-National chapter three weeks ago.

Penn's chapter of the MSA is sponsoring Islam Awareness Week this week, a yearly event that occurs at colleges typically a week or two after Ramadan - the slated time for Islamo-Fascism Week.

"They came to understand that the term Islamo-fascism was very narrow-minded, wasn't respectful and wasn't conducive to the open dialogue environment that Penn strives to foster," MSA chairman Samir Malik said.

English mercilessly absorbs words from every language in the world. Arabic is no exception. Pointing out some Arabic-dervied words is a ridiculous excercise in attempted brainwashing. One could do the exact same thing for Yiddish, Chinese, Spanish, Yoruba, what-have-you.

Overall, less than 1/10th of 1% of English words come from Arabic.

Completely absurd.

re: #172 scaramouche

They also forgot about the Muslims discovering America, inventing the zero, blah blah blah. For some reason, they also forget to include other fabulous Arabic words and concepts that have worked their way into (at least lizard) vernacular: jihad, shahid, intifadah, hudna, Allahu Akbar, etc..

What makes me centrist is that I shy away from extremism in any form. I think Coulter is extreme. If you just stick to the truth, you don't have to be so wild. I know it's her style and lots of folks like her for it. I don't.

That's what I like about Nonie Darwish. In the interviews I've seen of her she's so straightforward and of course, she's knows her stuff. These type of speakers would have a better impact. Why I like Dan Pipes, too.

Many Americans automatically think Muslim women are oppressed,” Harness said. “But from what I’ve learned in women’s studies classes, America needs to be more cautious with regard to misidentifying oppression versus choice.”

Rank stupidity.

All anger aside, my initial impressions of ISAW are that is shaping up to be a great success. I see comments and op-eds challenging the leftists with intelligent, factual argument, and I see the hysterics of the protest movement being challenged with reasoned logic. A "surge," if you will, and it looks like a Tipping Point to me. Keep speaking, keep it clean, and don't let another charge go unanswered.

Naturally, UC Irvine (hatefest central) seethes: ‘Islamo-Facism’ Week Ignores Real Enemy

Any guesses who's the "Real Enemy"?

We hope that they will join us in acknowledging that the United States’ and Israeli occupations reflect religious supremacies and other forms of bigotry as much as the ideologies and actions of extremist Muslim groups.

"‘Islamo-Facism’ Week Ignores Real Enemy"

I've read his entire drivel. But he never says who the "real enemy" is. Very mysterious.

Wow! I've never seen such a pile of lies in my life. As someone who knows a thing or two about language, I can say that at least half of his claimed etymologies are utterly fraudulent. Examples: "Guitar" ultimately derives from the Greek "kythara". And "pajamas" is an Indian/Hindi word.

Just because some of these words made their way to English through Arab intermediaries, doesn't mean they're "Arabic" words.

What lies.

Very interesting!

re: #172 scaramouche

They also forgot about the Muslims discovering America, inventing the zero, blah blah blah. For some reason, they also forget to include other fabulous Arabic words and concepts that have worked their way into (at least lizard) vernacular: jihad, shahid, intifadah, hudna, Allahu Akbar, etc..

Yes, thanks to them I now know words I would never have known otherwise: hijab, niqab, burqa, kuffiye, taqquiya, dhimmi, jizya, dar-al-harb, ... the list goes on and on. My cultural and linguistic horizons have definitely been expanded.

"Critical thinking in Academia" is becoming an oxymoron.

Raising awareness of Islamic fascists it a bad thing, mkay...

Raising awareness about drag queens, is okay..
Mkay.....

Student drag show raises awareness

Think about that for a minute.
It is considered important for the students to learn about the issues that concern drag queens.
But for students to learn about a movement that considers them infidels and wants them to convert or be killed, and is actively pursuing that very policy, is not considered important for students to be informed about.
Now I have no problem learning about drag queens issues, but in the great scheme of things, I don't think that is very important.
A bunch of drag queens have not hijacked air liners, blew up buildings, slaughtered grade school kids, and go around chopping peoples heads off.
Why do we have universities again?
Some one remind me please?
I mean, other than football.
Such is life in liberal land.

Of all the misnomers. Ranks right up there with "Truthers" and "Religion of Peace."

Are these talks open to the public?

Wow. David Horowitz is taking questions about the I-F Awareness Week on the Wahhabist site Islam Online.

The Left will "revert" en masse when the time comes.

re: #212 Live4Truth

I know. Very Pythonesque in some ways. Too bad most of the Pythons seem to be liberal. Monty Python is desperately needed in this crazy time.

Late to the party as usual . . . but I was delayed reading ALL the comments under ALL the links Charles provided.

GUESS WHAT?
About 95% + of the commenters trashed the linked articles, and their authors and supported IFAW.

Places like Columbia and Madison, WI?

Whouda thunk it?

Maybe there is still hope!

Willing, eager dupes of the Twin Totalitarianisms.

They didn't invent alcohol, but Arabs were the first to distill it.
Talk about irony.

Somewhat OT, but I have a major criticism of IFAW, and I'm not sure where to post it...

I was all geeked to lend my support and my body to the proceedings, when it turned out that there would be no speaker at the University of Michigan after all. Nor could I find out ANYTHING about what was scheduled, if anything. And, I emailed THREE TIMES about this, once weeks ago, twice last weekend. Absolutely no response. I even emailed the contact person for David Horowitz.

You know, this sort of unprofessionalism is both surprising and appalling. When I think of how much time I have devoted to this issue, and how much money I have spent buying books by the biggies in this area, I begin to wonder about the overall competence of our anti-fascist leaders.

It's hard for me to put a good spin on this experience.

(Note, I'm not sure if it's possible to delete #221, but I posted it at a more appropriate item, which appeared after I posted it here. Sorry.)

Being from Wisconsin I checked out the Wisconsin link. I was pleasantly suprised to find that the bulk of the feedback on that article correctly identified Islamofascism and seemed to support this weeks awareness activities....maybe there is hope for us after all. :)

re: #214 scaramouche

Wow. David Horowitz is taking questions about the I-F Awareness Week on the Wahhabist site Islam Online.

He did a good job, and it took guts to dive into that lion's den. I especially like the last Q&A of the session. And the Muslims who participated were pathetic. Their denial of the obvious (i.e., that Islamofascism is real and must be squashed) is why we find it hard to trust most all Muslims.
