Islam Appreciation Month has arrived on campus at the University of Florida:
Maria Ilyas, 20, president of Islam On Campus, said the purpose of the event is to clear misconceptions about Islam and Muslims.
“We’re trying to bring an awareness and appreciation to who Muslims are and what Islam is really about….
Another Muslim student also commented:
Daniel Khokar, 18, who identifies as Muslim, said the event means a lot to him because it gives him a sense of belonging.
It is right that every innocent Muslim, as well as any member of any group, should feel a sense of belonging, but a sense of entitlement is not the equivalent of a sense of belonging. There are Hindus, Buddhists, Sikhs, Bahai students too; and there are also Jews on campuses who are treated with contempt and intimidation by jihadist Muslim groups operating right under the noses of university administrators. Shame on the University of Florida for this outright preferential treatment for Muslims over any other group.
Islamic Heritage Month was recently declared in Ontario, also to make Muslims feel better, with the objective of combating “Islamophobia,” despite the fact that no stats bear out that “Islamophobia” is a significant problem. Muslims are the ones attacking Westerners, and despite this fact, the targeting of Muslims remains minimal, which demonstrates the exceptional evolution of the West in terms of tolerance. Sadly, however, blacks and Jews remain by far the greatest groups targeted by hate crimes.
If Muslims collectively want to feel more included, then they would also collectively (and openly) condemn all forms of jihad (stealth and violent), as well as anti-West and anti-Israel hate messages globally, and the hate that is routinely being preached in mosques, Islamic centers and madrassas right on Western soil.
“UF’s Islam on Campus to begin celebrating Islam Appreciation Month today”, by Rick Garcia, Florida Alligator, October 11, 2016:
UF’s Islam On Campus is hosting Islam Appreciation Month this fall in lieu of its annual fundraiser.
The month long celebration is starting with Islamapalooza, formerly named Islam Fair, on the Plaza of the Americas today from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m., and it will continue Wednesday from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. The event will feature booths where students can get henna tattoos, play trivia about Islam and eat falafels, pita and samosas.
Nahal Khamisani, the secretary of Islam On Campus, said they decided to host the monthlong celebration this Fall after renovations to the Stephen C. O’Connell Center prevented them from having the annual Fast-A-Thon fundraiser, which normally happens in the Fall. They plan on hosting the fundraiser in the Spring, but wanted to spread out the organization’s big events, Khamisani said.
“(Islamapalooza) highlights a lot of the cultural aspects of Islam while getting the community at UF excited with incentives like free henna and food,” the 19-year-old UF psychology sophomore said.
Maria Ilyas, 20, president of Islam On Campus, said the purpose of the event is to clear misconceptions about Islam and Muslims.
“We’re trying to bring an awareness and appreciation to who Muslims are and what Islam is really about,” the UF microbiology senior said.
Daniel Khokar, 18, who identifies as Muslim, said the event means a lot to him because it gives him a sense of belonging…….

common sense says
How about “Muslims who appreciate America and its liberty” month. Except Islam as practiced in its most fundamental form appreciates nothing but itself.
1reader says
Right, they come here and we are supposed to change and adapt to them – rather than they come here and learn how to integrate with us. Also, the article doesn’t mention how hated Christians are by Muslims. They would just as soon kill me as look at me. Yet, I am to make them feel comfortable.
Asham (Muslim at uf) says
lmfao, were people too dude, fuxk up in the same way, enjoy the same things, etc. I apologize about the process that has left you so ignorant. There’s the fact that “we’ve been here too.” You don’t have to make us comfortable, we can do that ourselves, we just want your human to human connection
Tom says
Left us ignorant? You cocksuckers keep attacking us and we are supposed to roll over? Bullshit….
You Muzzies are a sick group of individuals and you do nothing to contain the really bad ones.
There is a real united faction here in America that recognizes the social cancer that Islam has morphed into.
Julia Arafa says
Until you are one of a minority group, you will never understand why they feel the need to educate the majority group about themselves. Remember that injustice to a minority is a threat to justice for all! At one time or another anyone could find themselves belonging to a minority group, either in the past or future. Throughout history, minorities have always been the ones who get scapegoated for all problems! In this country in particular, there have always been scapegoats such as Native Americans, Germans, French, Irish, Spanish, African Americans, various religious groups…. and the list goes on…and on.. The only remedy for people who fear what they don’t know or understand, is for them to get to know these minority people. People are people. You’d be surprised; you might make some best friends! Expand your mind and realize Love trumps hate!
mach37 says
I was going to say the same: this event consists solely of Muslims appreciating their religion. There is nothing about Islam that non-Muslims can find to appreciate.
Asham (Muslim at uf) says
have you tried looking?
jihad3tracker says
Hello Asham — Thank you for contributing to Robert’s blog. Yes, I “tried looking”, as you suggest to poster mach37:
Twin Towers 9-11 (almost 3,000 killed + Pentagon + Pennsylvania plane crash) AND Nice France (84 dead and many severely injured) AND Orlando nightclub (53 slaughtered with dozens gravely harmed) AND Fort Hood (13 shot) AND Paris (more than 100 totaled by Charlie Hebdo plus Bataclan theater).
So, DO YOU LOVE THIS “RELIGION” OF SICK MUHAMMAD AND BLOODTHIRSTY ALLAH ???? Give us an honest answer please —- we are waiting. And, by the way, I now am fully engaged in homeland domestic defense against jihad. No more wasting precious time responding to Islam’s trolls.
JuanM says
I have probably never read a more ignorant article regarding another person’s culture and religion. The level of underlying islamophobia is both insulting and undermining to the open-mindedness that an university environment should nurture. I am a Roman Catholic but have enough respect for diversity to understand the importance of celebrating one’s heritage.
So how about the amendment right to practice any religion? If you’re upset with this group being proud of their roots then take it up with our forefathers because they, at least, understand respect.
JawsV says
Juan, there’s no such thing as “I-phobia.” If you think Islam’s so great, why not join Islam? You’re ignorant. Oh, and Islam’s not a “religion.” It’s a mass-murder political ideology masquerading as a religion. We don’t have to be “open-minded” to a mass-murder ideology, understand? I don’t respect Islam and I don’t have to. Also, our forefathers never imagined the Mohammedans and their vile and rotten murderous “religion” being a factor in the West. They never imagined September 11, 2001. Capische? So, you can take your Muslim/Islam “diversity” and “heritage” and shove it. Islam sucks.
Panda says
Juan, assuming you mean our Founding Fathers, check out your history. After paying ransom to these butchers for years, they (the FF) finally went over there and kicked some butt. Does “Millions for defense but not a penny for tribute.” and “From the halls of Montezuma to THE SHORES OF TRIPOLI,” ring a bell?
And we are not commenting negatively about someone’s religion, we are commenting on the actions of a huge group of cultists who worship s screwy version of a god and the rantings of a 7th century pedophile and butcher.
linnte says
Juan, read the Qur’an, Hadith’s and Sira. Also Shari’a Law texts. Most people who have not been raised as Muslim, after reading these books SEE clearly what Islam is. If you have not read these texts, then it’s like you voting for a Presidential Candidate who’s platform you know nothing about. It makes you seem ignorant.
I was determined to show my family that Islam is peaceful and shared your same exact views; ask some here on Jihad Watch! Until I read for myself what Islams Doctrines and Ideology are about. I was flabbergasted! READ Juan!

And if one’s “heritage” includes oppressing, raping, and slaughtering unbelievers–including Catholics–are you fine with that, as well?
It should not be university’s role to provide whitewash for a vicious, totalitarian creed.

If you mean Muslims praying, fasting, and going on Hadj, no one here has any problems with that. But Islam also demands that everyone–Muslim and Infidel–submit to Islam.

As Linnte notes, the idea that the Founding Fathers demanded that Americans submit to Islam is *quite* mistaken.
When the Muslims of the North African Barbary Coast pirated our ships and enslaved our crews while demanding we pay them “tribute” amounting to more than our entire GDP, we raised a navy and took the fight to them. In the process, we, along with Britain and France who joined us, made the entire Mediterranean Sea safe for shipping–something that had not been the case for a thousand years.
Thomas Jefferson famously said that he had no problem with any faith that “neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg”–alas, Islam mandates that its followers do both.
Jefferson read the Qur’an to lean more about the threat we faced fromn Islam. As Linnte suggests, you should do the same.
RAB says
JuanM. Respect has nothing to do with it. When did Islam show any respect for any other religion or ideology? There isn’t much to add to what other people are telling you. Read the Koran, the hadith, learn about the life of your beloved prophet from the Islamic sources themselves. I’m getting sick of having a bunch of wild-eyed, loud-mouthed, bushy-faced screaming Muslim fanatics telling me I’m going to live under Sharia law whether I like it or not. How can you Muslims and Islamic apologists be so ignorant of your own so-called religion. I’m out of words.

GOSH, GIRLS & BOYS, THIS SOUNDS LIKE A PERFECT OCCASION! “How so?”, you ask.
Parachute onto that scholarly university with a few gold nuggets of actual TRUTH regarding the Religion Of Ending Up In Many Small Pieces.
Find a relevant person — Muslim, of course — involved in the event and send an elucidative POLITE email with a NEUTRAL title in the subject box, so it will actually be opened.
Also, several videos by David Wood are great to include as well, because he has a terrific sense of humor, and we know that a laugh while getting unpleasant news can diminish the pain a bit.
jihad3tracker says
By the way, because 99.9% of Muslims — when they hear someone say “There is a problem with Islam” AUTOMATICALLY HEAR THAT AS “There is a problem with MUSLIMS” let me recommend strongly that you unequivocally draw a distinction between those two (if you were not already planning such a proviso)..
PERSONS ARE WORTH OF RESPECT. BELIEF SYSTEMS CAN — AND SHOULD — BE CAREFULLY EXAMINED. Especially if those ideologies are in the minds, to varying degrees, of one and a half billion of our fellow travelers on this planet.
PRCS says
As a retired parachute rigger, and an American who is fed up with propaganda from “our” Muslims, I’d at least consider doing that.
rubiconcrest says
It is not 99.9% it is much less. I think there are vast numbers of Muslims just waiting to be liberated from their faith. I cannot control what someone hears. I can only control whether what I say is truthful. We know that orthodox Islam will fight for their prophet Mohammad to the death but most will yield in the face of unyielding opposition, in large part because in their hearts they will recognize the truth that we speak. We cannot yield on this point. Ramadan is not fasting when one eats every day. Islamic Sharia is inhuman. The longer we delay in clearly stating the truth the harder it will be for everyone. Most opposition to the truth will come from governments. This will put them in conflict with their people who want to be liberated. We only need a leader to say ‘tear this wall down’ ie. ‘The USA is a Sharia free zone’ and the walls will start to crumble.
JawsV says
Islam and Muslims are one and the same. And yes their over-breeding is a huge problem – it’s called Demographic Jihad. Conquering by numbers, which is what’s happening in Europe right now. No distinction between Islam and Muslims – the “Ummah.”

Good question, miriam–most schools cannot afford to forego their fundraising. This definitely implies that the University of Florida is being funded by someone in exchange for shilling for Islam. Very disturbing.

“The event will feature booths where students can … play trivia about Islam.”
Hey – that sound like so much fun. You could have stuff like…
Fill in the blanks in the following sentences:
1.) Muslims are the best of people and kafirs are the ______ of creatures.
2.) “When you meet the unbelievers, strike the ______…”
3.) “O Prophet! We have made lawful to you … those whom your _____ hand possesses of those whom Allah has given you as spoils of war (33:50).”
PRCS says
Did Allah “reveal” Qur’an 5:26-32 or is it the Jewish tale of Cain and Abel–written by Jews for and to “the Children of Israel” and plagiarized by whomever actually wrote Islam’s “Holy” boo??
So many questions that will likely NEVER be allowed at that propaganda fest.

There’s no “nitpicking.” Islam is a mass-murder ideology, not a faith. As for your being “people too” – Islam turns you into monsters.

Amputation of thieves hands, amputation of a hand and a foot on opposite sides, slaves in general and sex slaves in particular, where does the sun set, where is human sperm produced, how many years after Muhammad “married” six year old Aisha did he wait before raping her, did Allah “split the moon”, what does it mean that women are a tilth, and on and on and on and….
Praeceptor Maximus says
“We’re trying to bring an awareness and appreciation to who Muslims are and what Islam is really about….’
The greatest misfortune that can befall a person is to be born a Muslim, in a Muslim country, and be a female. This misfortune is amplified to the nth degree if it so happens that that unfortunate female is also born into a poor family, for she might as well be counted among the dead. Her life has ended before it can even begin. There would be no intellectual exploration of mind for her. There would be no journey of self-discovery for her. She will have no life, no joy, no pleasure, only pain she will suffer. After going through the horrors of genital mutilation, if she survives her wedding night at a young age of anywhere between 9 and eleven to a man who is old enough to be her grandfather, there is the childbirth. Yes, we know how to appreciate Islam. How ludicrous! How utterly, utterly ludicrous!

Do you have anything of relevance to add to the discussion or should I just give a hearty chuckle in face of the irony present the video thumbnail, where a propaganda outlet of the Russian government who routinely demonizes the West (especially the US) through slanderous propaganda in social media is accusing the US of… planting propaganda in social media to demonize its enemies?

Oh, I’d say that it is *you* who needs to take an objective look. Whatever the faults of the Western media as a whole, being a propaganda outlet of the Russian government isn’t one of them. And the follow-up question is: why are you propagating something you acknowledge to be a propaganda outlet that routinely demonizes the West (especially the US) through slanderous propaganda in social media?
gravenimage says
Malcolm, the idea that Western media is state-funded propaganda is quite mistaken. Where did you get that idea? Have you failed to notice that Western media is quite free to criticize government?
Malcolm (SouthAfria) says
Hi gravenimage; State funded media is not a term that has been used here, News outlets have been the tool for most world governments to push their agenda. There have been instances in the history of Country s where a journalists have been members of State security agency’s.
Investigative journalism is rare, even in my country. The issue that the West has, is that its legitimacy of truthfulness has been corroded. Especially when it is influenced by private corporations.
Have a son who is doing his honors in science. At the moment he is at home, as a result of disruptions. The same issues of a number of universities around the world.
One needs to question the means, of how a silly story appears in a newspaper in Florida of a proposal, which should not see the light of day. The issues are the same here.
Most comments on this thread get it, however there is some who do not.
Without getting into detail there has been a massive worldwide campaign in discrediting Christianity especially Catholics. There are many organizations funded privately of dissenting priest, nuns who have no credibility in our community that have free accesses to media who push a secular agenda on major issues.
The problem here is the fact of thousands of Christians who are been slaughtered every year, arrested tortured in Islamic countries. Without governments reacting and a press that is silent.
When the issues are blocked in the press one has to question why. Catholics could tell you of issues in Syria, that you have no idea about. We know this as we have people on the ground helping others. Why is there silence.
The essential point here Is the the government in Syria is not the main problem, it is Western backed terrorist who have been funded and armed in by the West who use the media to justify intervention, who facilitate by their support, the killing of communities that have existed peacefully for 2000 years.
The human problem: those, who lead individual comfortable lives, is that they become worried and fearful when they are affected but care little for others before that event.
Wish you well.

This organization is also in Florida and shapes public opinion.
More of Soros funded NGO,s that shape public opinion.

• American Immigration Law Foundation: This group supports amnesty for illegal aliens, on whose behalf it litigates against the U.S. government.
• American Independent News Network: This organization promotes “impact journalism” that advocates progressive change.
• The American Prospect, Inc.: This corporation trains and mentors young leftwing journalists, and organizes strategy meetings for leftist leaders.
• Arab American Institute Foundation: The Arab American Institute denounces the purportedly widespread civil liberties violations directed against Arab Americans in the post-9/11 period, and characterizes Israel as a brutal oppressor of the Palestinian people.

Oh, he “identifies as muslim”? You know who else identifies as muslim? Muslim terrorists. Would this Daniel kid, if we were to meet face-to-face, be able to explain me why their claims of “identifying as muslims” are supposedly unfounded while his supposedly isn’t? I doubt it would be something other than convenience – I bet his arguments would revolve around the idea that those people make the object of his identification look bad, therefore they’re no true muslims.
Most people in a University would have a sense of belonging because they’re learning a subject they like in the company of people who feel the same. Some of those people might have a bigger sense of belonging because they share a common interest on, for example, college sports, and while going to sports events they’d meet people who might expose them to one or more subjects they never heard of before, from academic field of studies to hobbies. But no, good old Daniel Khokar seemingly only gets a sense of belonging if someone strokes his religion. Someone pat him on the head, scratch his tummy and ask him which is the religion of peace, please – we have a kid in need of a sense of belonging here!
The problem with a “sense of belonging” in islam is that it comes at the expense of, well, pretty much everything else. Sports? Haram. Music? Haram. Booze? Haram. Bacon? Haram. Classes on non-islamic subjects? Haram. Dating and interacting with members of the opposite sex? So haram that’s not even funny. Homosexuality? Haram. On the other hand, if they kill and/or die while trying to kill people who are enjoying their youth studying a subject they love with people they like, going to parties, dating, going to sports events, etc, then they get eternity to enjoy what was haram in the corporeal realm.
Come for the free body painting and food, stay because if you leave they’ll f***ing kill you…

Islamic Appreciation Month?
Pure and unadulterated Orwellianism.
But then mankind (and most particularly here the West) has finally “managed” to produce an Orwellian world par excellence since it is “easy” to produce an Orwellian reality where freedom never existed in the first place, examples being Russia and so many Asian nations. But it’s an extra “special” matter to produce an Orwellian world where freedom once reigned, with now said freedom in great jeopardy because of Western fools aplenty———–Obama, Clinton, Kerry, Blair, Cameron, May, Francis I, Merkel et al. Yes, truth has unfortunately imitated fiction here and, quite arguably, has actually surpassed it.
Examples proving this ongoing unnecessary tragedy are the continued attempts by Western elites to exculpate the spiritual fascism which is Islam; examples being: 1) the truly vile and phony Hillary Clinton being the Democratic nominee for the highest office in the land of the greatest power on earth; 2) the enormous tragedy of a complete fool now occupying the throne of Saint Peter; 3) the extremely limited man in Colin Kaepernick who makes millions each year being a quarterback bench warmer, asserting all the while that America is unfair to people of color like him; and 4) an MSM in America and other Western nations which has become nothing more than the propaganda arm of the total idiocy which is Western leftism.
Islam + Western leftism = Destruction of Western Civilization, the very civilization which pioneered true freedom, true religious liberty, real equality under the law, women’s rights, minority rights, and a capacity to apologize for its past wrongdoings and thereafter make an enormous effort to address such wrongdoings, such as no other civilization even remotely has. Ah, no wonder the most ancient totalitarianism on earth, Islam, has its sights so set on the destruction of the West.
Fitting. Highly. Meanwhile, let’s not forget there is “Islam Appreciation Month” at the University of Florida.
Cy Halothrin says
Today is Columbus Day, and progressives” at universities across the USA are expected to protest. Columbus, it seems, is a genocidal maniac who slaughtered the Native Americans (or First Nations, or whatever the current term for “American Indians” is).
Whoops, sorry I said “Indian,” because that’s a racist term – personally, if I was a real Indian from India, I’d be insulted by being mistaken for the First Nation nutcase protesters). Anyway, some while the university students are shouting into megaphones denouncing Christopher Columbus the racist-murderer-colonialist-slave owner (and comparing him to Donald Trump), they are holding rallies welcoming Islam to the campus, because you know it’s a religion of peace and tolerance.
Just compare Columbus to the peace-loving Mohammed. Which would you rather name a national holiday after?

Stephend5000 Oct 11, 2016 6:43pm
I am pleased that this event is being held to clear up misconceptions about Islam. Since around 2011, as a senior citizen who looks around the world and sees murder committed by Muslims, I have devoted many hours to read what is in the Qur’an, the Hadith, and the Sira. What I have learned may surprise many of the young Muslims participating in this effort at dialogue with non-believers. The Qur’an actually does have Allah commanding the slaughter of “Infidels”. Chapter 9 (Taubah) verses 9:5, 9:29, 9:73, 9:111, and 9:123 are clearly imperatives to fight non-Muslims until they submit to Allah and Islam, or, if they refuse, to be killed. Look them up if you don’t believe me. And even more important, Chapter 9 was revealed to Muhammad just a year before he died, and so, by the central principle of abrogation (canceling & replacing) all prior passages directing peaceful conduct toward non-Muslims do not apply any longer. Such a fact is certainly very upsetting for young persons in that religion to learn, and so the huge majority of American imams omit it from their discussion of the Qur’an. But devout, fully-faithful, complete, orthodox Muslims know those verses, and they base their behavior on them. They do not say “Well, I will only choose parts of the Qur’an which I like, and ignore other violent ones.” Muhammad and his contemporaries would have the deepest contempt for such “heretics” — as Allah calls them in Chapter 9, verse 73. I understand that the students on this campus wish to be good examples of Islam — starting with the Five Pillars of the Faith. However, please take some time to look courageously at the WHOLE Trilogy (Qur’an, Hadith, Sira) because if you lack full knowledge of the religion, it will be impossible to resist imprecations farther along in life to veer into a sector of jihad. And jihad is manifested by events like 9-11, San Bernardino, Orlando, Fort Hood, Paris, Nice, and many others in Europe and North Africa.

Thank you, weavo2, for reposting this sussinct, eloquent statement on the real nature of Islam for U of Florida students. It is worth saving.

What is really, really sad and disappointing is: many of the students at UF…a school to which many aspire to go and are not accepted…are just plain stupid. The things they say, do and write show their lack of mental ability. I have often wondered: how did they get in?. I don’t think they have the ability to see past the lies they are being told, to reason it out, to compare what moslims say with what moslims do.
If an intelligent, common sense person, saw a snake and someone said, “That snake is harmless,” and then the snake opened its mouth and fangs dripping with venom were glistening in the sun, the thinking person would say, “You have to be kidding.”
moslins and their supporters and liars in arms, claim peace and no biting, but when the moslim opens his mouth, his fangs show clearly that he does mean to harm.
It’s sad that many people believe the lies…it’s what they wish to be, not what is.

If that’s the entire Muslim Palooza Planning Committee in the photo, looks like we can look forward to an exciting month of palooza-ing !
But will the Florida Khomeini Iranians be able to come to the big, fun party? Palooza-ing might be a bit haram-ish for them.
Mark Spahn (West Seneca, NY) says
So there’s an Islamic Appreciation Month at the University of Florida. When does this month begin and end? I hope it follows the http://www.islamicfinder.org/islamic-calendar/ and not that Gregorian calendar that was cooked up by a kafir pope.
“The event will feature booths where students can get henna tattoos”. Really? But tattoos are haram! See https://islamqa.info/en/20283 .
chichi says
As an alumna of U of F, I plan to never give the school another red cent!
Gen Jones says
Do you think it’s intentional that the Palooza was held on the holiest day of the Jewish calendar? Henna tattoos and samosas – a pretty paltry palooza if you ask me.

Obviously they were going to celebrate Islam Appreciation Month…

I though that that devout Muslim celebrated Islam Appreciation Month in Florida by massacring Infidels at the Pulse Nightclub…

How does one “appreciate” a belief system that has the core belief of eliminating every other religion, and approving of killing others to accomplish that end result? I have yet to hear a non-Muslim explain how Islam has made their life better. I don’t consider “feeling good about Muslims” to be a sufficient answer.
David says
Was everyone in attendance served a full glass of steaming Camel Urine?
So they can grasp a full appreciate of Islamic culture?
Were sheep, goats and donkeys on hand so the attendees could experience copulation with animals in the Islamic tradition?
I could go on but, this train of thought is making even me SICK.
David says
P.S.
Are readers of sights like this the only sane people in all of North America?
It’s is incomprehensible to me that any institute of “Higher Learning” would want to spread lies about the single greatest threat to modern Civilization.
Islam is death. In my own College town the influx of muslim “students” has increased violence attacks on young women tremendously.
It’s no longer safe for any female below the age of 70-80 to walk our streets ! The pisslam boys will harrass you just for walking the dog!
I’m a disabled Senior Citizens, and since muslims now live on my own street, I completely all errands well before dark. And always carry my taser and mace. Where does it stop? Must I apply for a CCW permit next?
Just thought you would like to know.

Thank you for all the time you wonderful people give in educating the less informed such as myself. I am shocked every time I read your comments and genuine in saying I am so sorry for the evil that your government has
bestowed upon your country. There is apparently no relenting in the Muslim parasites coming your way…500% increase with a Hillary Clinton
president. I am devastated to understand this has been a long term plan
by your politicians in coercion with the UN. Agenda 21…many years ago was implemented to dilute the white and Christian cultures…
Even Australia and NewZealand are suffering the Muslim’s our countries are allowing in…now long term dole recipients and burdening our social welfare.
Ron says
You may want to see Joe BIdens’ recent statement on You Tube. He states that the white European majority will become a minority in the very near future, then adds that “that is a good thing.”
It’s difficult not to believe that demographic change has been part of the strategy to control the American political process

Islamic Appreciation Month.
In other words : a month of non-stop Islamopuffery, of Dawa and Dhimmitude.
A deluge of flowery nothings mixed with outright nonsense-and-lies.
Imagine if a University had a Judaism Appreciation Month (and everyone was encouraged to read Tom Cahill’s “The Gifts of the Jews”), a Christianity Appreciation Month, a Buddhism Appreciation Month and a Hinduism Appreciation Month. *Does* it? Has it ever? Might be worth checking to see if it has. If NOT, then some pointed letters to the administration might be in order, asking why the special treatment for Muslims.
HOWEVER: If there are any jihadwatchers on or near the Campus, they might like to look very, very carefully at the programme, and then equip themselves, form up a team, and figure out how to – very very gently – upset the Dawa and Dhimmitude applecart, just a little.
Even if just by making up a lot of little fliers with the dates and locations of the jihad attacks on 1/ Charlie Hebdo 2/ Bataclan theatre 3/ Nice on 14 July 2016 4/ the San Bernardino Christmas party 5/ Boston Marathon 6/ Orlando nightclub listed on the one side and on the reverse, the following “Got Muslims? Got Jihad. Quran 9.29” – and then scattering them from one end of the campus to the other.
Mirren10 says
Excellent idea, dda.
I urge all American JW’rs to contact the Uni, and ask them the exact same question posed by dda. It would be wonderful if they got an absolute **flood** of emails, asking exactly that pointed question.

How about someone at the U of F, putting up a ‘Know the Qur’an’ booth, during the ‘appreciation month’, with all the REAL VERSES of the Qur’an. Don’t Muslims want us to know Islam? Isn’t that the point?
Even have pamphlets with said verses, and Islamic doctrine such as ABROGATION, TAQIYYA, HIJRA, etc. , defined and explained? I’m almost sorry I don’t still live in Fl.
And have some copies of the Qur’an with commentary (which is the one that Robert Spencer uses? Malmudi? (sp?)

I have never been a fan of appreciation months, but the messages are still there and still should be listened to you know. We’re just trying to integrate, and hell we’re doing so. Just want to show you that we people and humans too, nothing faith-specific, just that we’re humans living in similar conditions asyou

……………………………..
Was Omar Mateen “integrating” when he slaughtered 49 Infidels at the Pulse Nightclub in Florida? How about all of the Muslims raping women across Europe? Are the almost 30,000 Jihad terror attacks–many of which have taken place in the West–more evidence of Muslims “integrating” here?
More:

If you mean that all humans breathe and eat and are biologically similar, this is certainly true.
However, most humans don’t follow a faith that demands that the entire world submit their violent creed, and will be murdered until they do so.
If your were *really* concerned, you would take this up with your homicidal coreligionists–instead of slinging Taqiyya at the good Infidels of Jihad Watch.
JawsV says
“We’re just trying to integrate” – Asham
No, you’re not. You’re trying to dominate. Muslims don’t integrate with Infidels, which you know very well. So, just can it with your “al Taqiyya” and deception.
