OBAMA'S AMERICA: House Dems Push Bill to Give Sick Punishment to Anyone Who Criticizes Islam

Two weeks ago, 69 House Democrats signed H.R. 569, which cleverly conflated violence against followers of Islam with “bigotry” and “hateful rhetoric.”

The bill listed about a-thousand-and-one grievances about alleged anti-Muslim hate crimes, hate speech and bigotry. It then concluded by stating that the House condemns all these alleged actions and that authorities should “work to prevent hate crimes” and “prosecute to the fullest extent of the law those perpetrators of hate crimes.” Some commentators believe that this bill is a prelude to the government going after anyone who dares criticize Islam.

If violence, bigotry, and hateful rhetoric are all you've got, you have far bigger problems.

Just the usual alarmist bullshit from the typical RW hysteria site.

It better not happen!

Democrats have a funny way of looking unpatriotic when they constantly take the side of America's enemies against their own nation.

They did the same thing during the Cold War.

I have 1st Amendment rights which my Constitution guarantees me. I do not believe in violence, bigotry or hateful rhetoric. This is about freedom of speech. If you cannot say anything about Islam you've lost your freedom of speech. What part of that do you not understand?

True. This story is about the plans Democrats have made for our future. From the sound of it? It's not too far off, Doc.

Better get all bashing in now. Islam is not a religion. A CULT started by a violent marauding killing child rapist. He managed to write a book and convince some loons to follow him to enslave poon tang. Now due to In-Breeding OK per QueerAhn, the IQ of Muslim is low and they are savages.

NOT a LEGIT Religion. Ban it in the USA, close all Mosque. If they want they can go ME to Mosque. No re-entry. No Burka. Get rid of it now.

 

[Gracie]

Don't sweat it, Jeri. I think Trump may be next potus. Do you really think he will let that stand if passed?

No, it's really not.

The fact that you can imagine something happening is not enough of a reason to believe that it is happening.

Nuke Mecca. Put a stop this nonsense here and now.

Won't happen.

We need to pray it doesn't. Other nations have lost their freedom of speech because of Islam. It could happen here. Nothing is impossible.

Which nation has lost it's freedom of speech because of Islam?

True, but....don't sweat the petty stuff and don't pet the sweaty stuff. Ain't. Gonna. Happen.

Uh oh once this bill passes they'll find this comment of yours and toss you in the slammer!

The article is not my imagination. Their request to prosecute violators to the fullest extent of the law is not my imagination. Read it.
