At GWU, Muslim Student Association responds to Islamofascism Awareness Week

And how do they do it? By anonymously distributing a fake hate flyer around campus, and blaming it on the Young America’s Foudation’s GWU chapter. Charles Johnson has the details.

Update: Seven GW students admit to hanging controversial posters:

A group of seven GW students sent an e-mail to The Hatchet late Tuesday night admitting to hanging hundreds of controversial posters around campus early Monday morning.

The students – Adam Kokesh, freshman Yong Kwon, senior Brian Tierny, freshman Ned Goodwin, Maxine Nwigwe, Lara Masri and Amal Rammah – said their motives were misinterpreted. Students for Conservativo-Facism Awareness hung the posters in opposition to Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week, an event being held beginning Oct. 22.

Kokesh, a graduate student and Iraq War veteran, gained celebrity over the past year because of his vocal opposition to the war. Nwigwe and Rammah are also graduate students.

“It is to our great dismay that the student body and the media missed the clear, if subtle, message of our flier: the hyperbolic nature of the flier was aimed at exposing Islamophobic racism,” the e-mail said.

But instead ended up exposing the idiocy of extremists who have to make up something themselves in a lame attempt to try and “prove hate.”
