So much for that "freedom of speech". Police investigate poster mocking Islamophobic hysteria

[ck4829]

Police at George Washington University are reportedly scrutinizing security camera footage to identify the culprits behind posters clearly satirizing a conservative student organization — the second time the university’s authorities have investigated the same poster in ten years. Yesterday, we wrote to the university calling on them to abandon the investigation.

The GW Hatchet reports:

Islamophobic fliers designed to look like they were posted by GW’s Young America’s Foundation were discovered on campus Friday, according to the student group.

The posters made it appear as if YAF was hosting an “Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week” with the heading “Hate Muslims? So do we!,” according to a post on the organization’s website.

In a statement, YAF said the group had no connection with the fliers, calling them “childish, revolting and distasteful,” and said they were posted to undermine the organization and its conservative message.

“Of course, these ridiculous posters that attempt to paint all conservatives with a broad brush of racist xenophobia have no connection to GW YAF, and are just the latest attempt by disgruntled leftists to slow the advancement of conservative ideas at GW,” the organization wrote in the statement.

YAF urged officials to discipline whoever was responsible for posting the fliers.

The poster in question:



If they included "Hive mind", "Immunity to mental illness", and "Aversion to pork in the same way vampires or werewolves have an aversion to silver", then it would be less parody and more of an actual reflection of what today's "conservatives" think of Muslims.
