Islamofascism Awareness Week

Holy Koran, David Horowitz-Man!!! Islamofascism Awareness Week stormed across 200 American campuses last week.
The week of October 22-26 witnessed the largest, most successful campus demonstrations by students not associated with the anti-American left in the history of campus protests. 114 college and university campuses participated in “Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week, which highlighted the threat from the Islamic jihad, and the oppression of Muslim women.
Yikes, Ann Coulter!! Here, read more from the official website.

Holy Smoke 'Em Out, Sean Hannity! It was a success!!
Or was it?

Ali Eteraz: Laughing at "Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week" - Politics on The Huffington Post

I have to conclude that the people who employ this word really have no grasp of what the word "fascism" means. Flip with me to page 450 of Webster's Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary, or look up fascist in any dictionary you have handy. Here we go:

fascism [fash-iz-uhm] n (1921) 1. often cap : a political philosophy, movement, or regime (as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition 2: a tendency toward or actual exercise of strong dictatorial control

I wonder what nation/race Islam falls under. Last I knew it was a religion. Oh, but I am being nitpicky!! Certainly we could extend fascism to stand for religions as well. How about Christofascism? Buddhafascism? Judeofascism?? Hindufascism? My favorite: Jainofascism!!! Hey, why not Rastafascism? Catholofascism? Confuciofascism!! Taofascism! New Age fascism!! Pagan fascism! Quaker fascism! Shaker fascism! Puritanofascism??! Of course, one shouldn't forget Satanofascism! Wiccafascism! Hare Krishnafascism!! Unitariofascism!!

Okay, I am overstating my point. My point is: what is the point? What, the war on terror has become unpopular, so we now are going to smear Islam with the label "fascism"? Holy Christ in the Cradle, conservative America!! Are we prepared to possibly be smeared back? How about Americofascism? Just wondering.

Re: Islamofascism Awareness Week

A few American zionists......running a hate compaign against Islam......in American universities. Having seen what these people have been doing, this might be a prelude to Iran-Syria chapter (two of Israel's neighbours still not subdued by them) of "war for oil & israel".

Secondly, as the population of muslims in US is rising, they are slowly & gradually coming into politics & media, places which right now are ruled by Israeli lobby. This might be the first slash in order to keep things as they havebeen for more than half a century (like nukes for Israel & sanctions for Iran).

BTW you forgot Ziocon fascism,..... but then only anti-semites, terrorism condoners & enemies of freedom & democracy can think of terms like that.
