Islamofascism Awareness Week. Wait...Huh?

This looks like a great way to deal with the problems we are facing.

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. Nothing could be more politically incorrect than to point this out. But nothing could be more important for American students to hear. 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. According to the academic left, anyone who links Islamic radicalism to the war on terror is an "Islamophobe." According to the academic left, the Islamo-fascists hate us not because we are tolerant and free, but because we are "oppressors."

The "greatest danger Americans have ever confronted?" I guess the Axis Powers were just a bunch of sissies. Well, okay Italy was, but you get the point.

Seriously, the two problems with things like this are that it a)conflates the terrorists into a bigger threat then they actually are thereby giving them more credibility than they deserve and b)it increases the division in our own nation by playing partisan games thereby making the terrorists' jobs easier because we are not standing together as a nation. Terrorism from Islamic radicals is an issue our country needs to face, but that doesn't mean we need to panic about it and have events like "Islamofascism Awareness Week." We raise the terrorists up to our level when we do things like this because we are presenting them as a credible, serious threat. They are not. Yes, they are making plans to kill our citizens and damage our interests around the globe. They are not a nation-state with the money, people, and industry to stage any sort of sustained or serious threat to us.

The three things we need to combat terrorism are solid police work, credible diplomatic efforts, and standing united as Americans. These will eliminate 99% of the problems we face in Islamic terrorists.
