Phil Orenstein has a good post at Democracy Project.
Daniel Pipes will be speaking at Tufts on Wednesday night for those in the Boston area:
- Where: Tufts University, Cohen Auditorium
- When: Wednesday, October 24, 7:00 p.m.
Karin Friedemann has been circulating the petition on the MAS/Islamic Society of Boston email list. This event is useful for the Islamist crowd (the actual Islamofascists) like CAIR, MAS, MSA, etc... They can scream that this is an attack on Muslims, thus scaring ordinary a-political Muslims and giving these groups a marketing hook. It's similar to the way that the illegal immigration crowd intentionally conflates being against illegal immigration with being against all immigrants. (Articles like this are not a simple error. They are written, edited and published with intent.) It's a good recruiting and fund-raising tool and a way of using fear to manipulate -- something they love to accuse the Administration of doing. They manipulate the average guy into giving cover to their own radicalism. The alternatives are to remain silent to the threat or so water down the language as to make it meaningless.
Update: Media, Students Mobilizing in Favor of Islamofascism
Michelle Malkin has a round-up, here: Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week kicks off; Update: Just in time for IFA Week…a new bin Laden tape
Muslims Against Sharia congratulate David Horowitz FREEDOM CENTER and Mike Adams, Tammy Bruce, Phyllis Chesler, Ann Coulter, Nonie Darwish, Greg Davis, Stephen Gale, David Horowitz, Joe Kaufman, Michael Ledeen, Michael Medved, Alan Nathan, Cyrus Nowrasteh, Daphne Patai, Daniel Pipes, Dennis Prager, Luana Saghieh, Rick Santorum, Jonathan Schanzer, Christina Sommers, Robert Spencer, Brian Sussman, Ed Turzanski, Ibn Warraq and other speakers on the success of the Islamofascism Awareness Week.
Islamofascism (or Islamism) is the main threat facing modern civilization and ignorance about this threat is astounding. We hope that this event becomes regular and reaches every campus.
A great many Westerners do not see the clear distinction between Islam and Islamism (Islamofascism). They need to understand that the difference between Islam and Islamism (Islamofascism) is the same as the difference between Christianity and Christian Identity Movement (White Supremacy Movement).
