Muslims Against Sharia,

I find it hard to congratulate Horowitz and Co. when so many of the speakers can be easily discredited. Take a look at their website, and it becomes clear that the goal is not to have an honest discussion about terrorism (or even radical Islam); the goal is to demonize Islam as a whole. The whole ‘project’ is hard to see as anything else.

F. Valente,

Islamic religious fundamentalists were associated with those terrorist attacks. However, that does not mean all Muslims should be thought of in the same manner. It also suggests that because these attacks continue (and keep going due to the occupation of Iraq), we should be trying a different approach to dealing with terrorism instead of the same thing over and over again.

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).

Dear Asuka:

You know, you’re right.

I mean, if you discount the slaughter of the Israeli Olympic team in 1972,
and the Achille Lauro hijacking,
and the 1993 bombings at the World Trade Center,
and Sept. 11, 2001,
and the Entebbe hijacking in 1976,
and the USS Cole bombing,
and the bombings of the US Embassies in Kenya,
and the nightclub bombings in Indonesia,
and the European riots over the Muhammad cartoons,
and the Islamic youth riots in France,
and the Iran Hostage Crisis,
and the bombing of the airliner over Lockerbee,
and the murder of Daniel Pearl in Iraq,
and the angry mob of Somalis dragging the corpses of US servicemen through the streets of Mogaduishu,
and the Spanish train bombings,
and the London Subway bombings,
and the flaming car driven into the airport terminal in Glasgow,
we have absolutely NOTHING to fear from Muslims!
Thanks for setting me straight. How could I have drawn such a ridiculous and uniformed conclusion equating Muslims with terrorism?
Boy, am I a sap!

The term “Islamofascism” is absolutely ridiculous. Anyone who knows anything about fascism knows that fascism necessarily requires the presence of a state, while the terrorists labeled as “Islamofascists” are basically stateless. My theory is that the ones who popularized the term (i.e. Bush & Co.) did so in order to have a monopoly on the term “fascism” and in turn avoid having it (arguably legitimately) applied to themselves by others.
