“Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week”

Josh Marshall alerts us that this week is “Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week.” I’m glad he did because somehow it escaped my calendar.
What is “Islamo-fascism Awareness Week”? Apparently, a series of gatherings on a number of American college campuses:

The purpose of this protest is as simple as it is crucial: to confront the two Big Lies of the political left: that George Bush created the war on terror and that Global Warming is a greater danger to Americans than the terrorist threat.

I’m not sure why terrorism is being compared to global warming, but OK–we don’t want to be afraid of the wrong thing. And institutions of higher learning are the best venues to properly orient fear, because that’s where the “war on error terror” is being lost:

In the face of the greatest danger Americans have ever confronted, the academic left has mobilized to create sympathy for the enemy and to fight anyone who rallies Americans to defend themselves.

Yes, that monolithic, liberal academia–it must be stopped! I assume the Department of Homeland Security routinely monitors and breaks up university faculty meetings, because there’s some real anti-American scheming going on there.
What is this week going to accomplish?

Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week is a national effort to oppose these lies and to rally American students to defend their country.

That’s a laudable objective. How are students being encouraged to help defend America? Through military enlistment drives? By purchasing war bonds? Participating in patriotic community service?
Not exactly. The agenda consists of the following elements:

Ø A keynote speaker on Islamo-Fascism
Ø A panel on the Oppression of Women in Islam or any facet of the Islamo-Fascist threat
Ø A showing of Suicide Killers, Obsession, or Islam: What the West Needs to Know or the ABC mini-series The Path to 9/11
Ø A “sit-in” outside the offices of the Women’s Studies Department protesting the silence of feminists over the oppression of women in Islam
Ø A petition denouncing Islamo-Fascism and its violence against women, gays, Christians, Jews and religious people
Ø A memorial service for the victims of Islamo-Fascist violence around the world.

That’s a good defense plan. It’s reassuring to know that when the next big attack hits, our women’s studies departments will be properly secured with ample copies of The Path to 9/11.
Anyway, I’m glad I’m doing my part in spreading awareness, as terrorism is an issue that’s been completely ignored by the liberal media.
We’re all going to be killed! Vote Republican.
