MAS Freedom (MASF), as the civic and human rights advocacy entity of the Muslim American Society (MAS), will hold a press conference at 10:00 A.M. on Thursday, October 18th, 2007 in the Zenger Room of the National Press Club at 529 14th Street, N.W. (13th Floor) in Washington, D.C.
The press conference will be held in response to the call for an "Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week" set for October 22-26, 2007, organized by David Horowitz, president of the David Horowitz Freedom Center.
The coalition of organizations and student leaders will announce its plan to initiate a national campaign called 'Students United against Hate'.
MAS Freedom indicates that the campaign will respond not only to numerous incidents of anti-Muslim sentiment on campuses, but also to other symbols of hatred and intolerance recently found on college campuses, including nooses and swastikas displayed at Columbia University in New York City.

MAS Freedom Human and Civil Rights Director, Ibrahim Abdil-Mu'id Ramey, states that this new initiative is intended to "bring together a large community of students and student leaders organized against racism and religious hatred - especially the brand of hatred and intolerance exhibited by David Horowitz and his anti-Muslim and anti-progressive allies."
"We will demonstrate that the great majority of college students in America stand against and oppose both racism and religious hatred," Ramey concluded.
