slavery|slaver]]s was a response to demands that only whites pay blacks reparations, not to hold Africans and Arabs solely responsible for slavery, and that the statement that he had denied lingering racism was "a calculated and carefully constructed lie." The letter said that Berlet's work was "so tendentious, so filled with transparent misrepresentations and smears that if you continue to post the report you will create for your Southern Poverty Law Center a well-earned reputation as a [[hate (contracted; show full)

During a speech at the [[University of California at Santa Barbara]], Horowitz accused students wearing green in support of the schools’ [[Muslim Student Association]] of supporting [[Hamas]], and students wearing Arab Keffiyehs of honoring [[Yassir Arafat]] and [[terrorism]]. <ref> Santa Barbara Independent, 5/15/08[http://www.independent.com/news/2008/may/15/david-horowitz-provokes-extreme-response-anti-arab]/</ref>
Horowitz has also directed campaigns such as 
<i>''“Islamofascism Awareness Week“</i>'', which brought leading anti-Muslim critics to more than a hundred college campuses in October 2007.<ref>A Student’s Guide to Hosting Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week[http://www.terrorismawareness.org/islamo-fascism awareness-week/49/a-students-guide-to-hosting-islamo-fascism-awareness-week/]</ref>

In one Fox News appearance, Horowitz linked Muslim student associations on college campuses across the U.S. to the <i>''“terrorist Jihad against the West”:</i>
<i>''
''“The point here is that there are 150 Muslim students’ associations, which are coddled by university administrations and treated as though they were ethnic or religious groups, when they are political groups that are arms of the Muslim Brotherhood, which is the fountainhead of the terrorist jihad against the West.”</i>''<ref>Fox News: Hannity and Colmes Show 5/9/08[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cKHDftCvmHo]</ref>

On an [[Al-Jazeera]] broadcast, Horowitz states <i>''“The Muslim Students Association pretends to be a religious organization while it is really an arm of the Muslim Brotherhood…Hamas and Hezbollah.”</i>'' He then quips that <i>“he has had many encounters with this [MSAs and the Muslim Brotherhood] and that is how my views are correct…they need to condemn Hamas and Hezbollah as a terrorist organization for me to leave them alone…”</i<ref>al-Jazeera news:  Riz Khan show, 08/21/08, at marker number 1.52[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VqyQnMkMrjw]</ref><ref> al-Jazeera news: Riz Khan show, transcript for 8/21/08[http://english.aljazeera.net/programmes/rizkhan/2008/08/200882191616950380.html]</ref>

On an appearance with [[Neil Cavuto]] of Fox News on August 15th of 2006, Horowitz stated that: <i>''“there are 150 Muslim student associations on universities in the U.S., created by Hamas and funded by Saudi Arabia…they [the Muslim student associations] are Wahabbi, Islamists, and basically support our enemies.”</i>''<ref>Fox News: Neil Cavuto Show 8/15/06[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ab92idO65T4]</ref> Horowitz doesn’t provide proofs to substantiate these allegations.
