MPAC Blueprint for Opposing IFAW

In response to the upcoming Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week created by David Horowitz, and predicted to be the “biggest conservative campus protest ever,” the Muslim Public Affairs Council recently released a guide for Muslim student and community groups. See: “WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT ISLAMO-FASCISM AWARENESS WEEK”
MPAC’s guide includes information about the organizers of IFAW and a set of recommendations for Muslim student groups encouraging self-restraint in the face of outside agitators.
Here is why IFAW is needed, contrary to MPAC’s view.
And here is Robert Spencer’s verdict on MPAC. He asserts that it is a “charade” to portray the organization as “moderate” and that “MPAC has fabricated or spread outright falsehoods and smears, raising significant questions about what the organization’s real sentiments are regarding Islamic terrorism.”
