Dear
DHFC Supporter,
This week, the
David Horowitz Freedom Center (DHFC) launched the second flash
video of its Terrorism Awareness Project.
What Every American Needs to Know
About Jihad reviews the history of recent terrorist
attacks against America and the West and reveals the objectives of
radical jihadists. The video is a dramatic four-minute warning
that the agenda of jihad is global domination and that a world war
has already begun. TAP will be emailing this video to more than
one million Americans and tens of thousands of university students
and professors. To view it,
please follow
this link.
The DHFC created
the Terrorism Awareness Project on January 31st to combat
complacency on college campuses about the intentions of the
radical Islamists who declared a holy war on the United States and
the West as long ago as 1979, and also to reveal the active
support the jihad receives from radical professors and student
groups who regard America as the Great Satan and the terrorists as
freedom fighters. "If one thing was clear in the aftermath of the
attack (of 9/11), it was this: the terrorists would be back," said
Stephen Miller, a senior at Duke University and the Project's
national coordinator. "But because of the campaign by the
'anti-war' movement, our populace as a whole is ignorant of the
threat, doesn't know the enemy, and is unaware of its true intent,
capabilities and resolve. This is especially true of college
students who face a daily barrage of anti-war and anti-American
propaganda. The Terrorism Awareness P roject is designed to make
them aware of the threat of jihad and the struggle that lies ahead
if this nation is to survive."
Although TAP is
less than a month old, it has also produced three acclaimed
pamphlets The Nazi Roots of
Palestinian Nationalism, The Islamic Mein Kampf, and
What Americans need to know About
Jihad to inform Americans and students in particular of
the dangers they face. All pamphlets can be downloaded at no
charge on our website,
www.terrorismawareness.org.
What Americans Need to Know About Jihad,
is also the message of a print ad the TAP project has placed in
college newspapers around the country. So far, student
publications at Duke, the University of North Carolina, Brandeis,
Texas, Wisconsin, DePaul, Emory, University of California-Irvine,
University of California-Davis, San Francisco State University and
Pace College have run the ad, which means that it has been seen by
over half a million members of these academic communities. On the
other hand, campus newspapers at Georgia Tech, Purdue, University
of Pennsylvania, Michigan, Columbia, University of
California-Berkeley and New York University have rejected the ad
on the grounds that it was 'offensive.' Apparently, college
leftists think that it is offensive to point out that a holy war
has been declared on women, gays, Jews, Christians and other
'infidels.' That is the blunt message of the ad TAP has produced.
In the furor
created by these rejections, TAP National Coordinator Miller
appeared on Fox News, CNN, and other media venues to criticize the
assault on free speech and point out that it indicates the extent
of covert support for jihad on campus today.
In addition to
mobilizing opinion on campus, the Terrorism Awareness Project has
also acted as a catalyst for student activism. Since January 31,
170,000 individuals have visited the TAP website,
www.terrorismawareness.org,
an average of more than 50,000 per week. Chapters of TAP are
already in formation on sixty-five campuses across the country.
TAP chapters are
now functioning at Columbia University, Duke, Georgia Tech, the
University of Colorado, University of California at Davis,
University of Wisconsin, among others and coordinators are
distributing pamphlets, setting up panel discussions with experts
on terrorism, and planning showings of the anti-jihad video
"Obsession," as they work toward holding campus-wide Terrorism
Awareness Days and Months. The first Terrorism Awareness Days
featuring a showing of the film "Obsession" have been scheduled at
Duke University and at Columbia, where it will be jointly hosted
by the campus TAP chapter and the College Republicans and College
Democrats. In other words, TAP has already begun to forge the
bi-partisan anti-terrorist coalition that has been so difficult to
achieve at the national level.
Sincerely,
David Horowitz
President & Founder
