In the featured article at FrontPage I discuss a new DHFC initiative:
The David Horowitz Freedom Center has launched a new initiative: an invitation to campus groups around the country to stand against genocide, endorsing a new Declaration Against Genocide.The Declaration notes in its preamble that the Sudanese and other Africans have been victims of a slow-motion genocide, and that Islamo-fascists in the Middle East are preparing a new genocide against the Jews.
The genocidal aspect of today's global Islamic jihad has received scant attention from the media or from human rights activists. Yet it is unmistakable. Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmedinejad has declared that "the Islamic umma (community) will not allow its historic enemy [Israel] to live in its heartland." Israel's end is near: "There is no doubt that the new wave [of attacks] in Palestine will soon wipe off this disgraceful blot [Israel] from the face of the Islamic world."
Khalid Mashal, one of the principal leaders of Hamas, openly celebrates what he sees as Israel's inevitable destruction: "You [Jews] will be defeated with God's help. Victory's day is approaching with God's help. Before Israel dies, it will not escape humiliation and surrender." Mahmoud Zahar, the Hamas Foreign Minister, has said: "I dream," he has said, "of hanging a huge map of the world on the wall at my Gaza home which does not show Israel on it."
In describing the objectives of the Declaration, David Horowitz, President of the Freedom Center, says: "We are asking all campus groups to repudiate the genocidal passage in the Islamic Hadith which reads: 'The prophet, prayer and peace be upon him, said: "The time [of judgment] will not come until Muslims will fight the Jews and kill them; until the Jews hide behind rocks and trees, which will cry: O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me, come on and kill him!"'"Horowitz continues: "We are also asking all campus groups, including the Muslim Students Association, to condemn the Hamas Charter which says: 'Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam will obliterate it, just as it obliterated others before it.' Signers of the Declaration will also be asked to repudiate the Iranian dictator Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who has said 'The accomplishment of a world without America and Israel is both possible and feasible,' and Hezbollah's leader Hassan Nasrallah, who called the Jews 'a cancer which is liable to spread again at any moment,' and has said, 'If the Jews 'all gather in Israel, it will save us the trouble of going after them worldwide.' These are hateful doctrines that threaten the lives not only of Jews, but of all Americans."
In addition to condemning the genocidal agenda of these leaders and organizations, the Declaration calls on campus groups to affirm "the freedom of the individual conscience and the right to change religions or have no religion at all; the equal dignity of men and women; and the right of all people to live free from violence, intimidation and coercion."
U.S. Congresswoman Sue Myrick (R-N.C.) will deliver the keynote address at a reception on February 9 marking the beginning of the campaign on behalf of the Declaration. Rep. Myrick has established herself as an expert on jihadism and homeland security during her six terms in office. She helped form and is presently co-chair of the bipartisan Congressional Anti-Terrorism Caucus. Horowitz will appear with Rep. Myrick at the event. He will speak about the Declaration Against Genocide, which will be circulated for signatures on campuses across the country.
Student activists attending the February 9 event will be part of a signing ceremony and then take the Declaration back to their campuses for action by groups and individuals.
"Although a Declaration Against Genocide should be seen as a document with universal appeal," Horowitz notes, "a coalition of groups with ties to the Islamo-fascist jihad are bound to protest this effort. Our goal is to test universities' claims that they support religious and ethnic tolerance, and to challenge the campus left, which consistently overlooks statements by Islamic radicals which are nothing less than an invitation to mass murder."
This is a golden opportunity for Muslim groups who profess moderation to demonstrate their sincerity and willingness to confront the jihadists, and for non-Muslim groups to stand with them against the depredations of genocidal Islamic terror. It will also be interesting – and highly illuminating – to see which groups refuse to endorse the Declaration.
And they call us "haters." I have never seen a group of people more consumed with hate than Mohammedans.
EXCELLENT PROPOSAL! put it up; i'll sign it.

From the horses ass mouth:
"I dream," he has said, "of hanging a huge map of the world on the wall at my Gaza home which does not show Israel on it."
Funny i had that same dream but with an entirely different outcome!!!
" ... the only thing Muslims are good at is killing other people and enslaving them ..."

In context of Carter's "Camp David Accords" Hans Kung and other dhimmis organized an elitist project, aimed at propping a unilaterally beneficial fiction of a common-culture among Christians, Jews and the Muslim enemy. Please download this link to a book on that surrender. Currently, the next generation of acadhimmis - Karen Armstrong, Juan Cole, John Esposito, et al - are framing the same swindle, around the post 9-11 nation-building (read: islamofascist subsidization) con-job. Frankly, if you chose not to download and study, you shouldn't comment on the current failure of anti-jihadism, because you are part of it.

"4. What Are the Main Common Elements Among
Muslims, Jews, and Christians?
a) The basic common area among Muslims, Jews, and Christians is found in their faith in one and only one God, who gives meaning and life to a.
b) Jews, Christians, and Muslims are also of one mind in their belief in the God of history-the God who is not above, but in, history, intervening, calling in a hidden way.
c) Jews, Christians, and Muslims agree in their belief that the one God is an approachable partner. God can be addressed.
d) Finally, this God is a merciful and gracious God. The Arabic al-Rahmãn, the “merciful one,” is etymologically linked to the Hebraic rahamim, which, together with hen and hesed, represents the semantic field for the New Testament charis, the Vulgate gratia, and the English “grace.” This shared belief has a political relevance. I have been told that for the Camp David Agreement it was not unimportant that a believing Christian, a believing Jew, and a believing Muslim came together and saw that they finally had to do something for world peace.
These shared beliefs clear the way for more difficult questions. "
"...Christians need to take Muhammad more seriously in order that the one, true, incomparable God might always occupy the center of their faith. I think my friend John Cobb would agree that Christocentrism without theocentrism is valueless, for Jesus is the Word and, as Cobb has stressed, the Wisdom of God. Christians also need to hear Muhammad's warning against the dangerous idolatry of listening to other gods, as well as his admonition that faith and life, orthodoxy and orthopraxis, belong together, even in politics. Thus, Muhammad could provide for us Christians, not the decisive, guiding norm that Jesus gives us, but a prophetic corrective in the name of the one and same God, 'I am nothing but a distinctive warner' (Sura 46:49)"
---------------------
Re Kung's mention of Arab stealing from Hebrew; the Koran is polluted with thefts. Arabs now refer to Jerusalem as "al-Quds"; it was "el-Qadish" to pre Christ Jews. The aras are thieves; they stole our oil.
Mr. or Ms. PC says -
Genocide only occurs when Western counties are practicing imperialism or colonialism.
When the Third World engages in this practice it is a "civil war". Nothing to see, move along now.
Good luck with your petition.
This Horowitz guy deserves huge kudos. With his ongoing Islamo-fascism awareness projects continually roiling campuses all around the country, he must be turning into as much of a jihad-target as Spencer. Talk about courage.
They already have and use maps that has Israel missing. Were they hang them is another thing. I dream of winning the lottery!?
I comment Mr. Horowitz for this idea. We have to use the correct buzz words for the world to get it. Watch however because the opposition will try to characterize it with different words (all very negative by PC standards).
As far as the outcome of Israel is concerned I have it on good authority that what Islam wishes is just the opposite of what Israel will become in the future.
2Samuel 7:12-16
Now therefore, thus you shall say to My servant David, 'Thus says the LORD of hosts, "I took you from the pasture, from following the sheep, to be ruler over My people Israel. I have been with you wherever you have gone and have cut off all your enemies from before you; and I will make you a great name, like the names of the great men who are on the earth. I will also appoint a place for My people Israel and will plant them, that they may live in their own place and not be disturbed again, nor will the wicked afflict them any more as formerly, even from the day that I commanded judges to be over My people Israel; and I will give you rest from all your enemies. The LORD also declares to you that the LORD will make a house for you. When your days are complete and you lie down with your fathers, I will raise up your descendant after you, who will come forth from you, and I will establish his kingdom. He shall build a house for My name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever. I will be a father to him and he will be a son to Me; when he commits iniquity, I will correct him with the rod of men and the strokes of the sons of men, but My loving kindness shall not depart from him, as I took {it} away from Saul, whom I removed from before you. Your house and your kingdom shall endure before Me forever; your throne shall be established forever."'

2 صموئيل 7:12-16
ولذلك الان ، وهكذا يجب ان اقول لكم ان بلدي خادم ديفيد ، 'هكذا يقول الرب المضيفين ،" لقد أخذت لك من المرعى ، من الاغنام بعد ، ليكون أكثر من حاكم شعبي اسرائيل. لقد كنت معك أينما ذهبت ولقد قطع جميع اعدائك من امامك ؛ وسأدلي لك عظيم الاسم ، مثل أسماء كبيرة من الرجال الذين هم على الارض. ساقوم ايضا تعيين مكان لشعبي اسرائيل وسوف النبات لها ، وانها قد يعيش في بلدهم وألا يكون مكان بالانزعاج مرة اخرى ، ولن الشرس يصاب أي منهم اكثر كما في السابق ، حتى من اليوم الأول لقيادة القضاة ان يكون أكثر من لشعبي اسرائيل ؛ وسأعطيكم الباقي من جميع اعدائك. فأن اللورد كما يعلن لكم ان الرب سيجعل منزل لك. كتقفاوم ايام كاملة ولكم الاستلقاء الخاص بك مع الآباء ، وانا سترفع الخاص بك سليل بعد لكم ، الذين سيصلون اليها من أنت ، وأنا سوف ينشئ مملكته . وله بناء منزل لأسمى ، وأنا ستنشئ عرش مملكته الى الابد. سوف اكون له ابا ، وقال انه سيكون ابنا لي ؛ عندما يرتكب الظلم ، وساقدم له مع تصحيح القضيب لل الرجال وضربات من ابناء الرجال ، ولكن بلدي المحبة الشفقه لا يجوز الخروج عليه ، كما انني اخذت () انه بعيدا عن شاول ، وأعطيه ازيلت من امامكم. بيتك ومملكتك سوف يدوم الى الابد قبلي ؛ العرش الخاص بك توضع الابد ".
"For a believing Muslim, to create is a rash and dangerous act."
So wrote Daniel Boorstin, author of the powerful three volumes titled The Discoverers, The Seekers and The Creators. The quotation above comes from the end of one of The Creators’ short chapters. In a few pages Boorstin sought the heart of the difference between Islamic and Judeo-Christian culture. At the risk of mutilating the chapter in question, here are some choice excerpts:
(Boorstin, 1992, pp.63-69.)

that's brilliant.
and we have just had a demonstration of that contrast - between affirmation (Judaism) and uncreation/ anti-creation (Islam) in Dimona, when two Muslim suicide-murderers succeeded in killing an elderly Russian lady who had been a brilliant theoretical physicist, who had made discoveries in particle physics at Ben Gurion university.
On the one side a little old lady, filled with a quintessentially Jewish curiosity, intelligence, humility, devoting a whole life to patiently exploring the marvels of YHWH's creation, questioning it...and getting some answers.
On the other side, two young Muslim Arab men turning themselves into bombs, deliberately destroying self and others - combining suicide and murder, exposing the black hole at the core of Islam. A truly consistent Muslim spends their whole life 'beheading' themselves, systematically killing their own conscience, their own mind, making themselves into an object, a thing, a weapon, and what for? - so that the whole world may be eaten up by the ultimate tyrant, the war-god 'allah' - Nietzsche's Will to Power apotheosised.
Did you ever see the film, 'The Never ending Story'? The 'Nothing' in that story, devouring Fantastica, is horribly analogous to the works of the Empire of Islam in human history. Over against it stands the gift of Naming.
In Ende's book, the Oracle tells Atreyu:
"Die Adamssohne, so nennt man mit Recht
die Bewohner des irdischen Ortes
die Evastoechter, das Menschengeschlecht
Blutsbruder des Wirklichen Wortes.
Sie alle haben seit Anbeginn
die Gabe, Namen to geben."
'The Sons of Adam, as are rightly called
the dwellers in the place of earth,
the daughters of Eve, the human race,
BLOOD-KIN OF THE TRUE WORD.
They all have, since the very beginning,
the gift of giving names."
@traeh
Yet another fine example of the marked differences between the God of the Bible and Koran. This needs to be shown more and more in conversation and writing.
One of the most glaring differences that comes to mind is that allah can change his mind (usually for the worse). There are instances in the O.T. that God changed his mind, but those are addressing a specific historical situation and is for our benefit, not destroying Nineveh in Jonah is an example, Jonah 3:4 - Jonah 3:10.
Below are three verses that speak about the unchanging God of the Bible.
Malachi 3:6
I am the Lord, and I do not change. That is why you descendants of Jacob are not already completely destroyed.
Hebrews 1:12
And as a vesture (the creation) shalt thou fold them up, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail.
Hebrews 13:8
Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.
Malachi 3:6
انا الرب ، وانا لا تغيير. وهذا هو السبب في أنك من نسل يعقوب ليست بالفعل دمرت تماما.
العبرانيين 1:12
وبوصفها الرداء (انشاء) سوف انت أضعاف ما يصل اليهم ، وانهم يجب ان تتغير : ولكن انت الفن نفسه ، وخاصتك سنوات لا يجوز ان تفشل.
العبرانيين 13:8
يسوع المسيح نفسه امس ، والى اليوم ، والى الأبد
People who bless Israel are blessed and those who curse Israel are already cursed>
"Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmedinejad has declared that "the Islamic umma (community) will not allow its historic enemy [Israel] to live in its heartland." Israel's end is near: "There is no doubt that the new wave [of attacks] in Palestine will soon wipe off this disgraceful blot [Israel] from the face of the Islamic world."
Iran's Ahmadinejad, though distant from Israel, desires to destroy Israel because of the Quran and Muslim dogma. That's reality.
"The next segment of Sura 2, verses 75-105, continues the Qur’an’s criticism of the Jews. When you read statements by Hamas leaders or Mahmoud Ahmadinejad about Israel, remember that they view Israel and Jews through a Qur’anic prism. They have learned, if they have studied the Qur’an at all, that the Jews are the most perverse and guilty – as well as the craftiest and most persistent – enemies of Allah, Muhammad and the Muslims"-Robert Spencer.
http://hotair.com/archives/2007/06/24/blogging-the-qur%e2%80%99an-sura-2-%e2%80%9cthe-cow%e2%80%9d-verses-75-140/
We can all continue to attack those who say that the mandates to Jew-hating in the Quran are central to understanding the conflict, call them "islamophobes" and "hatemongers", etc. But to to do that guarantees that the conflict in the Mideast will never end except in a nuclear tragedy.
Many Muslims, out of malice, fear or embarssment continue to try to deceive non-Muslims on the real issue and many non-Muslims (from malice or ignorance) are deceived. But the root of conflict with Israel's existence is in the Quran and Muslim dogma.
The two outdoor cats (Spencer and Fitzgerald) are telling the truth on this matter. We all must (Muslim and non-Muslim) deal with the real root of the conflict.
And they call us "haters." I have never seen a group of people more consumed with hate than Mohammedans.

Yes. They do a deal of projection, don't they, dear?
No non-conservative campus group would EVER associate themselves with ANYTHING that had the name David Horowitz connected to it. They'd never get past his name.
Some people care much more who says something than what they say. It's rampant on the Left. But the Right is guilty of it, too.
