Horowitz Will Speak at Columbia (as part of a “Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week”)

[Purveyor]

Conservative author David Horowitz confirmed Friday night that he plans to speak on Columbia’s campus as part of a “Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week” speaking tour.

Horowitz, CC ’59, said that he will introduce an event featuring Fox News Channel reporter Sean Hannity on Friday, Oct. 26th. Hannity said he was invited to speak by Chris Kulawik, CC ’08 and president of the Columbia University College Republicans.

Horowitz said that during his speech, he would discuss how “Islamo-fascists have killed more Muslims than any other group” and “the hate campaign that has been launched by progressives against this week.”

“Why is it so controversial to talk about Islamic fascists?” he asked in a phone interview. “Why is it an embargoed question?”

Jonathan Backer, CC ’10 and communications director for the Columbia University College Democrats, said that the Dems were planning to host an alternative event to counter Horowitz’s speech, which he said would be conducted with “a message of hate behind it.”

“We want to use this as an opportunity to respond to Islamo-Fascism week ... to counter that sort of rhetoric in the media,” Backer said.

4. Islamo-Fascism.......gah.

It is controversial because it's a false dichotomy, and the whole argument is bogus.

Islamists are no more inclined to fascism than anyone else. In fact, without the interference of the west, Iran would never have been a fully democratic state.

It's just another fear tactic, an us against them thing....and a racist issue.
