Of course, it was all about pointing out “Islamophobia.” That is, it was all about smearing those who dare to point out the oppression under which people suffer at the hands of the true believers in Sharia.
“Seven GW students admit to hanging controversial posters,” by Eric Roper for the GW Hatchet, a George Washington University student paper:
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 Tierney, 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.
Posters hung around campus read, “Hate Muslims? So do we!!!”
Kokesh, Kwon, Tierney, Goodwin, Nwigwe, Masri and Rammah could have more accurately written of themselves: “Hate human rights? So do we! Hate those who defend women who’ve been beaten and mutilated? So do we! Hate those who stand up for Christians who’ve been murdered for running a liquor store or selling Bibles? So do we!”
UPDATE: GWU administrators are responding to the fake posters by cracking down on…the YAF, which had nothing to do with them. Story at LGF.
