Santorum speaks at Terrorism Week event
Alex Melamed

Greeted with both cheers and sneers, former Sen. Rick Santorum (R-Pa.) addressed a divided audience at Steinhardt Hall yesterday afternoon, warning the crowd about the threat of radical Islam and opining on liberal professors.

Santorum's visit was sponsored by Penn College Republicans and the Middle East Forum as part of Terrorism Awareness Week, the name of which was changed from the national Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week.

"There is no question that this is a holy war from the perspective of the Muslims waging this war," Santorum told almost 150 engaged faces in reference to the American presence in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Santorum also discussed how the relationship between religion and politics differs in the East and West.

"Jesus never won. He didn't run a society. Mohammad won. He ruled. He conquered. So in Islam, every aspect of society is governed by religion," he said.


<<<snip>>>>

"This is a deliberate attack on Islam Awareness week," said college sophomore Chris DiFeliciantonio, one of the Penn Against War members who walked out. "Rick Santorum is a public figure, and it's a good way of protesting."

8. "Jesus never won"? WTH?? I'd say, in terms of theology, He "won" the Kingdom of
Heaven.
In terms of followers, post-Paul, He has QUITE A FEW.

OMG, this moran Little Ricky plans to run for Governor of MY STATE.
