While Campus Progress has been working on issues like global warming and college affordability, David Horowitz was busy planning yet another "Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week." Instead of bringing a real discussion about national security and human rights to campus, this effort uses the threat of terrorism as a flimsy cover to fuel anti-Muslim sentiment.
If there are students participating in this national event on your campus, we have some resources that might help. Click here to check out the tool kit we put together for the original Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week.
Here is an excerpt of our original statement on this issue:
Terrorism and human rights abuses are serious concerns around the world, and there is much that can be done to improve security and human dignity here and abroad. The Horowitz Center’s “Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week” program, however, will only spread misinformation, create a hostile atmosphere on campus towards Muslim students and faculty, and obstruct needed debate about real solutions to terrorism and other pressing issues.
