Hate Muslims? So Do We! Or You! Or Somebody!
UPDATE: Seven students have claimed responsibility, scroll down for more information.
George Washington University awakened on Monday morning to find their campus awash in poorly crafted posters which read “HATE MUSLIMS? SO DO WE!!!”
You’ve got to watch out for those peg-legs!
The posters reference an upcoming Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week sponsored by the school’s conservative organization. The best part? They didn’t put them up.
The posters managed to upset just about everyone on campus: Muslim students, other religious groups and conservatives who are hosting “Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week” later this month. Some questioned whether they were mocking the conservatives, pointing to fine print at the bottom — “Brought to you by Students for Conservativo-Fascism Awareness” — and a postscript recommending a BBC video on the politics of fear.
Any subtleties were lost under the gigantic headline, though…
“We did not put up those posters,” [the President of the conservative organization] said. “Someone took our name and used it. It was hateful.” “We’re a conservative group on campus,” he said. “We promote liberty and freedom, not bigotry and hatred.”
D’oh.
This whole thing is very reminiscent of the scene in Borat when he gives his thankful speech in front of the rodeo crowd (which, annoyingly, isn’t online). Making fun of people by exaggerating their positions is pretty much always funny.
Full text of the poster: Hate Muslims? So Do We!!! Your typical Muslim has: Lasers in eyes, venom in mouth, hatred for women, suicide vest, hidden AK-47, peg-leg for smuggling children and heroin. To find out more, come to Islamo-Fascism Week!!! Oct. 16-22. For more information contact the GWU Young America’s Foundation go to www.terrorismawareness.org. Brought to you by Students for Conservativo-Fascism Awareness. PS Seriously do a Google Video search for “The Power of Nightmares”

UPDATE: Seven GW students have claimed responsibility:
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.
They have posted the entire letter claiming responsibility.

It would be nice if America would acknowledge that it’s also hostile to women in a slightly less overt way.

Fifteen student organizations led by the GW Muslim Student Association, and including YAF, the Islamic Alliance for Justice and the Jewish Student Association, signed a statement expressing that they were “appalled at this incidence of hate and Islamophobia.”
Wow, way to miss the point.

Muslims are the short dicked idiots. Sicks and Hindus have the biggest dicks and that is why muslim women prefer to get fucked by them.
Let our sperm be upon Muslims women’s mouths

I fucked a muslim gal called Salma. She enjoyed too. She was yawning for more and more and I fucked her thrice the same night. Properly. Had fun. She also said that she likes hindu guys and would love to marry a hindu since they stay cleaner and have better sense and ways to treat a woman.
Ahhhh. Her cunt was a little too tight. Enjoyed really.

u ppl r probably disturbed. Especially hindu guys who deny the fact that muslims ruled them too long (400+ years)+(200+ years of christians) in subcontinent. Now that u ppl have independence in india u should learn to live freely like independent ppl, not live like muslim’s or christian’s slaves as ur past is. learn to love, not hate. U guys are not slaves nemore (try to accept this fact it will free ur soul and mind from bullshit).
btw, Hinduheartthrob, muslims perform abulation 5 times a day as a part of their religion. So they are typically cleaner than u most part of the day :)
