Political correctness is aiding and abetting the advance of Islamofascism, and we want to expose it - and even poke fun at it!

Submit to us a news article, or political speech, or any other example of political correctness you come across. Each month we'll review all of the submissions, and the most outrageous one will be posted on the ACT! for America website home page. The person submitting the "winner" will receive an autographed copy of Brigitte Gabriel's book Because They Hate, or a specially picked educational DVD.

So, when it comes to Islamofascism what exactly is "political correctness"?

In a nutshell, it's avoiding the truth and saying what is considered "acceptable" so as not to appear "intolerant." It's motivated by many things, such as fear of rejection; fear of reprisals; fear of being called "intolerant;" fear of being called an "Islamophobe;" or just a lack of understanding and awareness of what Islamofascism is. Political correctness looks for every reason but the real ones to explain the growing threat of militant Islam.

It generally takes on one or more of the following forms:

• Excusing the actions of militant Muslims by citing so-called "root causes" (for example, "terrorists act that way because they are being discriminated against"). So, the message there is, every one of us who has ever been discriminated against now has the right to be a terrorist??
• Rationalizing what terrorists do and creating a false moral equivalence by saying such things as "well, the Christians engaged in the Crusades!" So, the actions of some people nearly 1000 years ago justifies killing innocent women and children today?
• Blaming America's foreign policy ("militant Muslims would leave us alone if we just stopped supporting Israel"). The problem with this is the many inconvenient facts of history. For instance, militant Muslims were creating problems for America and terrorizing Americans 200 years ago - long before America was a world power and 150 years before the modern state of Israel came into existence.
• Blaming "Western imperialism and colonialism." The most obvious problem with this is that while Western colonialism has virtually disappeared, Islamic militancy and terrorism has dramatically increased.

We're inviting all of our ACT! for America members, supporters and friends to be on the lookout for "political correctness" that is aiding and abetting the advance of Islamofascism.

The "rules" are simple:

• If you see an example of political correctness, email us the article (if in print), or the link (if online), or an audio or video recording.
• Email it to us at info@actforamerica.org
• MAKE SURE YOU PUT "PC OUTRAGE OF THE MONTH" IN THE SUBJECT LINE WHEN YOU EMAIL
• You can make as many submissions as you like.

That's it!

We look forward to your submissions. After all, in the midst of this battle, we need a good laugh now and then!

Cheers!
