Matthew Yglesias' Islamo-Fascism Petition By David Horowitz

On October 8, we are officially launching a drive to obtain signatures on a petition condemning Islamo-fascism. Our campaign has already been attacked – before launch – by Atantic Monthly blogger, Matthew Yglesias. Yglesias should know better since he was a supporter of the war against Islamo-fascism in Iraq, although he has since turned his back on the effort.

In his blog Yglesias attacks us for having as a “main goal” the creation of a petition deliberately designed to be unlikely for Muslim groups to sign and then to use Muslim groups’ failure to sign the petition as evidence that they're on the side of ‘our terrorist adversaries.’”

Let’s stop right there, since Yglesias has already significantly distorted our position. Our main goal is to make people understand who the enemy is in the war on terror (since the White House has failed miserably to do so) and to expose people who 1) are on the other side of the war or 2) don’t understand what the war is about and therefore approach it with an appeasement mentality. Unfortunately, Yglesias seems to have slid in the direction of the latter position – otherwise why attack us?
