Students and faculty at 79 college campuses are hearing a clarion call to “Stop the Jihad on Campus,” thanks to the third annual Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week, sponsored by this website’s sister organization, the Terrorism Awareness Project. This is an extraordinary turnout three weeks before a national election when most student activists are focused on the presidential campaigns.
The David Horowitz Freedom Center launched this national event three years ago to draw attention to the global threat posed by radical Islamic extremism, the ideology fueling worldwide jihad. As in years past, Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week (IFAW) is opposing this totalitarian effort to subject the world to Koranic law by hosting nationally recognized experts, screening well-received documentaries, and petitioning moderate Muslim students to turn their back on those who would tie their religion of peace to perpetual warfare.
This year’s campaign maintains the broad ideological theme of years past while featuring a more specific thrust: to make university community's aware of the support for the jihad on their campuses. To accomplish this we are distributing 10,000 copies of the film Obsession and holding a "Stop the Jihad Hour" for a simultaneous showing of the film on all 79 campuses. The Muslim Students Association of the U.S. and Canada (MSA) and campus groups such as Students for Justice in Palestine play important roles in supporting the jihadist war against America, Israel, and the West. Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week is designed to confront the threat posed not only from aged parchments and Wahhabi preachers on distant shores but a radical fifth column within. Although this news is disconcerting, it also demonstrates that students and administrators are not helpless to fight against it: this year’s events call on campuses to defund the MSA. Read more ...
