Update 10/21/07 - The Hillary-Soros Team fights "Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week". In another report the Washington Times quotes Horowitz: "The
left has only one strategy when dealing with its opponents, and that's
to smear them," Mr. Horowitz, 68, says in a telephone interview. "They
learned from Stalin."
Update 10/16/07 - Horowitz discusses the resistance brewing on the Columbia University campus. Among the many points he makes is this one:
... the very term “Islamo-Fascism” was coined by moderate Muslims who were being slaughtered in Algeria during the 1990s. A group now calling itself “Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb” killed between 150,000 and 200,000 “unclean” Muslims during that decade. ( more. . )

Horowitz explains:
As it now stands, we will have events at over 100 schools. At over 30 of them, there will be major speeches by figures such as former Sen. Rick Santorum, Ann Coulter, Daniel Pipes and Robert Spencer. At more than twenty, students will show an uncut version of "The Path to 9/11" the ABC mini-series the Clintons censored. At another dozen there will be an unheard of event: sit-ins in Women's Studies Departments to protest their silence over the oppression of women in Islam. Most importantly, IFAW week is getting major coverage in the press. The campus papers of many schools are publishing multiple articles discussing "Islamo-Fascism" which was the goal of our protest to begin with. Moreover, the buzz is becoming louder every day.
As we foresaw, when we adopted the name "Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week," the Left has reacted and guaranteed our success. The goal of the left is to suppress mention of the term Islamo-Fascism because for the left America is the enemy. Since the left is at war with America, it cannot afford to have the evils of Islamo-Fascism discussed. [my emphases] more . . .
