Islamofascism Awareness Week WWIV Propaganda
Uncommon Sense

Unfortunately, our College Republicans recently participated in Islamofascism Awareness Week and unknowingly became associated with far-right extremist neoconservatives who directly desire a war with Iran.
In anti-partisan fairness, I agree with the College Republicans for calling Hillary Clinton a b**** because she recently approved movement toward a war with Iran. I also powerfully believe in unrestrained free speech. If they can't say b****, I couldn't say Bush's policies are antithetical to Christ's love philosophy, and thus anti-Christ.
Many dismiss the idea of an Iran war, but please investigate "godfather" neocon Norman Podhoretz who claims we are in WWIV with Islamofascists and "hopes and prays" we bomb Iran. Some say neocons are a fringe group, and they are right about America, but dead wrong in terms of political influence.
In 2004, Podhoretz received the Presidential Medal of Freedom from Bush and is now urging him to bomb Iran as soon as possible and believes "Bush is going to hit" Iran in 2008. Frighteningly, Podhoretz is serving as senior foreign policy advisor to leading Republican candidate Rudolph Giuliani.
When I discovered the College Republicans were distributing Islamic Mein Kampf booklets for IFAW, I became deeply concerned and angry that they were encouraging the idea of war with Iran. However, when I discussed this with some of them, they laughingly scoffed as though I was delusional. Unfortunately, they misunderstand the motives of IFAW organizers whom are deceptive with their subtle pro-war propaganda. I must invoke Jesus for the College Republicans: "Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do."
Who organized IFAW? The organizers are former Marxist David Horowitz and his Freedom Center. Horowitz exaggeratingly claimed IFAW was "the biggest conservative protest ever" involving numerous conservative Jewish and Republican student groups on 200 campuses. Thanks to Fox News, IFAW propaganda and Horowitz's exaggerations were powerfully publicized.

Huzah! If only common sense and a bit of historical fact checking held the same power as bullets and bombs, the world would be alittle less scary than it is today. (Continued…)

There is too much to debunk with you. You are a spinster. You should have no problem with bombing Iran, not that one has to make a decision to bomb, the threat of bombing carrys more weight when they know you can and will do it. (Continued…)

Abel, I really don't see a problem with 'Islamofascism Awareness Week'. Call out evil where it exists, that's my philosophy. Granted, I do agree with you that some ignorant people can and often do equate 'Islamofascism' with mainstream Islam. (Continued…)

Dr. Mohja Kahf,
Abel is most definitely not celebrating Islamofascism Week. He's only pointing out that the College Republicans are celebrating it and how wrong they are in doing so. (Continued…)

I love how after two or three intelligent comments the discourse leads to name calling in the defense of an unsound position.
First. "Islamofacist", the term is derogatory and misleading. (Continued…)

I'm not going to waste much time debating nonsense except that you keep calling every one Hajji. Hajji is a term of respect within the Muslim world, a community of 1. (Continued…)
