Students Protest Islamo-Fascist Week on Campus
By Riya Bhattacharjee (10-26-07)
The UC Berkeley Muslim Students Association (MSA) responded to Islamo-Fascist Week on campus with Peace Not Prejudice Week, ending today.
Funded by UC Berkeley alumnus and Republican activist David Horowitz and hosted by Berkeley College Republicans (BCR), Islamo-Fascist Week met with protests from more than 30 student groups on campus who joined together to form The Coalition for Peace Not Prejudice.
“Islamo-Fascist Week represents ignorance and indirect oppression of American Muslims,” said sophomore Saman Khalid, a member of MSA, which was also part of the coalition. “It’s against Islam … It’s offensive not just to Muslim students but to everybody. They are trying to inform moderate Muslims about radical Muslims. It’s ludicrous. I don’t think you need to inform Jews about Nazis or Blacks about Jim Crow.”
Berkeley College Republicans, who had set up a table across from the group Peace Not Prejudice at Sproul Plaza this week, said their events were in defense of moderate Muslims against radicals.
“It’s about making people aware of Islamic terrorism,” said Ross Lingenfelder, BCR president. “We are not talking about Catholic terrorism in Ireland or Hindu terrorism in Sri Lanka … It’s awareness about a really dangerous form of Islam that’s out to destroy the United States.”
Khalid told the Planet that BCR’s actions were threatening the safety of women wearing a hijab on campus.
“There was a man here on campus not affiliated with BCR who was carrying a huge sign that said ‘Islam Abuses Women’ and that it ‘promoted polygamy and wifebeating’ … If you are someone who has no idea about what Islam is then that message could give the wrong impression.”
BCR brought in Nonie Darwish, founder of Arabs for Israel, for a talk which was covered by television crews from the Washington D.C. bureau of Al Jazeera Monday.
“We are not talking about the average Muslim but about a radical strain,” said Lingenfelder, a UC Berkeley math major.
“The only complaint we are getting is that others might try to interpret our message in a wrong way. My goal is to polarize the radical in Islam and the peace-loving American Islam … [and] to expose how radical Muslims treat their women.”
“They are saying support moderate Muslims and not radical Muslims but are not providing a definition for either,” said senior and MSA political action committee co-chair Hamzah Hararah.
“For them Salman Rushdie might be a moderate, but for others he might not.”
UC Berkeley Chancellor Robert Birgeneau stopped by the Pride Not Prejudice table Wednesday.
“You are doing the right thing,” he told the students smiling.
He later told the Planet that the university was obligated to let students express their views since Berkeley was the birthplace of free speech.
“My pride lies with Peace Not Prejudice because they are conducting themselves in a dignified manner when they are being subjected to insult.”

Muslims Against Sharia said
As a part of “Islamofascism Awareness Week”, Nonie Darwish spoke at U.C. Berkeley on October 22. As usual, Islamofascists and their Dhimmi supporters have shown their unwavering resolve to crush any type of dissent. One the members of the “Students for Justice in Palestine” claimed that the purpose of the “Islamofascism Awareness Week” is to reinvigorate anti-Muslim and anti-Arab campaign. Given the fact that the speaker, Nonie Darwish, is both Muslim by birth and Arab it truly shows the depth of brainwashing on campus.

Okey then, listen to what Ann ‘whore’ Coulter said about islam and arab :
1. Ann Coulter on Iranian “jihad monkey” and the inapplicability of “conventions of … personal hygiene and grooming” to Muslims
If you don’t want to get shot by the police, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, then don’t point a toy gun at them. Or, as I believe our motto should be after 9/11: Jihad monkey talks tough; jihad monkey takes the consequences. Sorry, I realize that’s offensive. How about “camel jockey”? What? Now what’d I say? Boy, you tent merchants sure are touchy. Grow up, would you?

2. Ann Coulter: Islam is “a car-burning cult”
In her February 8 nationally syndicated column, right-wing pundit Ann Coulter suggested that Islam is “a car-burning cult,” and wrote that Muslims have “a predilection for violence.” In her column, Coulter was commenting on the recent rash of violence linked to cartoons in European newspapers that satirized the Muslim Prophet Muhammad.
Coulter’s attacks on Muslims are nothing new. One day after the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, Coulter wrote of Muslims: “We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity.” These comments resulted in her being fired by the conservative National Review. In her most recent book, How to Talk to a Liberal (If You Must): The World According to Ann Coulter (Crown Publishing Group, 2004), Coulter wrote: “I am often asked if I still think we should invade their countries, kill their leaders, and convert them to Christianity. The answer is: Now more than ever!” She reiterated this stance on the October 4, 2004, edition of Fox News’ Hannity & Colmes.
In her April 28, 2004, nationally syndicated column, Coulter wrote:
Like many of you, I carefully reviewed the lawsuits against the airlines in order to determine which airlines had engaged in the most egregious discrimination, so I could fly only that airline. But oddly, rather than bragging about the charges, the airlines heatedly denied discriminating against Middle Eastern passengers. What a wasted marketing opportunity! Imagine the great slogans the airlines could use:
“Now Frisking All Arabs — Twice!”
“More Civil-Rights Lawsuits Brought by Arabs Than Any Other Airline!”
“The Friendly Skies — Unless You’re an Arab”
“You Are Now Free to Move About the Cabin — Not So Fast, Mohammed!”
