An ex-senator that opposes individual rights of women; a pundit that calls people "faggots" and considers Islam a "cult"; a Christian scholar who is considered a "polemicist" and an "Islamophobe" by conservative Christians themselves; and an intellectual who has received millions from "far right" organizations since 2001, are rising up for the rights of women, gays, and religious minorities in the Muslim world. This laughable spectacle is called the Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week. It will be coming to a university near you on October 22 - 26.
Why are they going to universities? Why not these people go to Saudi Arabia or Pakistan and tackle extremism directly? Simple: They consider the university "the institutional base of the left." The same left which "is the enabler and abettor of the terrorist jihad."
In order, thus, to attack the left, these crusaders will be seeking to purposefully trap and target Muslim student groups at various universities. Mathrew Yglesias describes their tactics as follows: "In short, the main goal of the 'David Horowitz Freedom Center' here is to write up a petition deliberately designed to be unlikely for Muslim groups to sign and then to use Muslim groups' failure to sign the petition as evidence that they're on the side of 'our terrorist adversaries.'" The Petition has rightly been described in the blogosphere as akin to The Great Loyalty Oath from the novel Catch-22.
These compassionate crusaders plan on making "the oppression of women in Islam" a "major theme of the week."

University students (or anyone) were supposed to wear green today to protest this stuff. They claim it's to support moderate Muslims fight against extremists, but in reality, it's sick and it's just trying to make people think all Muslims are evil.
I just got a call from a friend who saw some kid handing out flyers in support of this at the university here, and was lying about Islam and the Quran. Luckily, lots of people have protested. The guy behind it spoke here Monday night but I heard some people were trying to organize a protest.
