Obama declares Islamophobia a felony hate crime | Satire?

Phobia is an abnormal, irrational fear. As now defined, however, Islamophobia is merely "prejudice against, hatred towards, or fear of the religion of Islam or Muslims." Rational "Prejudice," "hatred" and "fear" of Islam are, therefore, now Islamophobic.

Obama often proclaims that there is no reason to fear Islam --  the religion of truth and love -- and that He welcomes it in His America. It is permissible, indeed even patriotic, to fear and oppose the Non-Islamic Islamic State, but to fear and to oppose Islam runs counter to American values and is, therefore, worse than merely vile.

By virtue of His constitutional obligation under Article II to do whatever He damn well pleases, He has determined that anyone who criticises Islam is guilty of felony hate speech, which has long been recognized not to be entitled to protections under the First Amendment. To think Islamophobic thoughts leads to hate speech and must also be criminalised as hate thought.

Once again, Obama shows that He is a great leader -- not a mere follower -- in America's quest finally to become a great nation of which He can finally be proud. An article by Jonathan Turley is titled Forty Percent of Millennials Favor Censorship of Offensive Speech By Government. Turley, a liberal in the old-fashioned sense of the word and among the few "liberals" to remain strong defenders of free speech, notes that

I have long argued that the West appears to have fallen out of love with free speech, which is more often viewed as a rising scourge rather than a defining value in some countries. A recent poll of the Pew Research Center shows just how many people we have lost to those calling for greater censorship and criminalization of speech. It is not surprisingly more prevalent with younger age groups, though Democrats are almost twice as likely favor censorship than Republicans. The largest (and most alarming) group is the millennials — 40% of whom favor government censorship of speech offensive to minority groups. [Emphasis added.]

Clearly, Obama is -- as always -- on the right side of history, leading from the front.

Here is the text of Obama's address to the nation, to be delivered on Thanksgiving Day.

My fellow, blessedly multicultural, Americans, Thanksgiving is the day we all now understand was forced upon us to commemorate the vile treatment of Native Americans by settlers -- just as Israeli settlers now abuse native Palestinians. To treat Muslims as we treated Native Americans, as Israel treats peaceful Palestinians -- and indeed as Christian Crusaders just a short time ago treated peaceful Muslims  -- is the worst type of anti-American prejudice I can imagine. Therefore, under the powers vested in Me under the U.S. Constitution, I hereby decree that anyone -- no matter who or where and even in the halls of Congress -- criticises the Religion of Peace and Love shall be tried and summarily convicted of felony Hate speech.

Some may say -- falsely -- that this is a drastic and unwarranted measure. It is neither. Islamophobia is intensely harmful to Muslims fleeing persecution by Christians and Jews abroad. It may even deter Muslims from coming to My America to enjoy the benefits of liberty and freedom as ordaned under the Constitution. They all desire to be assimilated into America and to live here with peace and honour killings in accord with our traditions of freedom and justice; traditions which are envied by those fleeing persecution and which they yearn to enjoy in My America. To persecute innocent Muslims here, as they are persecuted abroad is a disgrace; as long as I am your President I shall not permit it.

The spectre of hate thought also now darkens America and leads to hate speech against Muslims everywhere -- even those in The Islamic State Republic of Iran, with which I successfully negotiated an historic deal to eliminate the spectre of nuclear weapons in, and to bring peace to, most of the Middle East.

Just as I have decreed that hate speech against Muslims shall be punished, so must hate thought. Accordingly, all candidates for public office in My America will now be required to answer questions seeking to probe their deepest unspoken, but dreadful, anti-Islamic thoughts. The Council on Islamic-American Relations will prepare the questions and agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation will ask them. Those found to harbour anti-Islamic  -- and therefore un-American -- thoughts will be declared unfit for, and disqualified from holding, public office. The First Amendment, of course, provides no protection for freedom of thought; even if it did, it would provide no protection for hate thought.  This is necessary if My America is, once again, to lead the free world.

(Wait for vigorous applause.)

Thank you. Now, for your Thanksgiving pleasure, here is a tribute to Me by my favorite vocal group, the Muslim Brotherhood Chorus.

obuma you might think your all important in your own unthinkable brain or whatever it is that you have between your ears, but listen and listen good:

YOU are in AMERICA now, and just because you used whatever forces you were given to get you where you are, you will NOT destroy AMERICA...the AMERICAN people will not let you...you have only a year left, if you think your going to stay in that position any longer, your kidding yourself, and if you think your going to take arms away from the AMERICAN people, your wrong again...

If you don't like AMERICA, you can leave, take your muslim brotherhood buddies with you and we won't miss you one bit...and if we get a POTUS that has a back bone, that isn't a ‘politician’ and doesn't answer to anyone other than the AMERICAN people, your whole ‘fairy tale’ of whatever it was you were sitting in a chair with your pen and phone was for, it's all going to be erased!!!

Your no longer going to exist in the running of The Republic Government of the United States of America, you haven't and didn't earn that honor and respect from REAL AMERICANS!!!

[Nervous Tick]

I’m not an islamophobe.

I’m a misislamist. (And a misobamaist).

I don’t fear them. I HATE them. With a passion.

[I want the USA back]

This is not satire. 0 hates this country and loves his true buddies. He is willing to sacrifice this entire country to his true buddies.

[meadsjn]

Even if the muslim faggot were a legitimate president, the president does NOT create legislation.
