I just noticed a "Radical Islamic Terrorist Awareness Week" poster in one of the buildings on campus that is in part sponsored by the BYU Republicans. I think that it is great of them to occasionally remind us of the people that we are supposed to hate and fear. Otherwise I may have forgotten and, as a result, been kind to the Muslim people that I know.
While we are at it, I thought that it would be a great idea to start other sorts of similar weeks:
Columbian Drug-dealer Awareness Week
Thieving Mexican Awareness Week
Violent African Awareness Week
Lazy Poor-people Awareness Week
Communist Unpatriotic Democrat Awareness Week
Where's McCarthy when you need him?

That is a good idea. Usually we have holidays reminding us of lovely things. It's about time we had a few to remind us of the not-so-wonderful things in the world. Show all those optimists a thing or two.
The term "Radical Islam" reminds me of the terms "Mormon Fundamentalists" that some people use to refer to polygamists. It gives people the wrong idea about what the religion is about. I think we should just call polygamists polygamists. And I think we should just call terrorists terrorists. I don't care what religion they say they are. There's nothing Islamic about terrorism. Just like there was nothing Christian about the Spanish Inquisition.
Who's McCarthy?
Charlie McCarthy was a dummy who would sit on the lab of Edgar Bergen, a ventriloquist. McCarthy was a smart-aleck. When he was elected to the US Senate no one knew who was really speaking through him and he became an alcoholic and a terrorist, mostly to the film industry, but he wasn't Islamic either.
