Islamo Fascism Awareness Week

This week marks the illustrious second Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week with events planned on over 105 college campuses across the country. From a letter written by David Horowitz:

Islamo Fascism Awareness Week is an effort to bring the truth into the suffocating ideological bias of our universities. It comes as no surprise that the radical left is organizing to stop their speakers. This is what happened last fall when they shut down David Horowitz’s speech at Emory, threatened former Muslim Nonie Darwish at Berkeley, and disrupted several other speakers.

They want to kill this event because they knew know that awareness about Islamo Fascism means the end of their political monopoly on campus and the beginning of a student movement that honors and supports our country. Because of this threat, they are once again forced to pay for extra security to ensure their speakers’ safety. We’re asking for your financial help today to offset this extra cost to the David Horowitz Freedom Center. Please follow this link today to make a donation of $35, $50, $100, $250, $500 or more.

The campus coordinators - brave young men and women willing to go up against the radical left to get the truth to their fellow students - are working night and day against incredible odds to make the Week a success. And unless, the radical, pro-jihad groups succeed in silencing them, by the end of the week over 40 speakers such as Nonie Darwish, Robert Spencer and Frank Gaffney will have appeared on campuses across the country- from UC Berkeley to Columbia; from Ohio State and Michigan.

But the opposition is building, both in its intensity and its potential for violence. (Horowitz was forced to provide bodyguards for all speakers and the campus police have been on high alert at every school where they have appeared). The entire political left, from the Revolutionary Communist Party to the Young Democrats, is up in arms against them. The violent hardcore left is urged on in its rhetoric of violence with a wink and a nod by the “moderate” left.

Support the brave students who have invited them to bring the oxygen of truth to their campuses. This must be a permanent campaign to help these young people continue the awareness campaign; to organize on more campuses; to make sure that the left does not silence what some are already calling one of the most important public information campaigns of our era.

If you’ve given money before to this cause, thank you. But no contribution you’ve ever given before will have such a dramatic effect as what you give now. Every dollar you pledge will help us to keep building awareness about the Islamo fascists who hope to disarm our country and see it defeated in the War on Terror. This is our chance to strike back at them and to build a movement that will deny them an intellectual haven on America’s college campuses.
