Rep. Donald Beyer (D-VA), along with 82 co-sponsors from the Democratic Party, introduced House Resolution 569. This legislation makes hateful rhetoric towards Muslims a crime in the United States. Beyer contends that "this legislation is needed to head-off the abuse of this beleaguered minority before it becomes entrenched."
Religion-based hate crimes against Jews in the United States are five times as common as hate crimes against Muslims. Still, Beyer defended singling out crimes against Muslims for greater attention contending that "it's too late for us to try to undo centuries of anti-Semitism, especially if doing so would further inflame Muslims to whom the Jews are an ancient and despised enemy."
Beyer expressed the hope "that by codifying anti-Muslim prejudice into our laws as an illegal act we are building a bridge that could lead to greater understanding between us and them. If we show that the government takes their fears seriously, that the government is 'on their side,' we may lessen the need for them to take matters into their own hands and seek revenge via mass murder of innocent civilians."
In related news, Sheikh Muhammad Ayed, Imam of the Al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem, urged Muslim refugees to "conquer the west by out-breeding them. In time, Muslims will become the majority and can vote for an Islamic caliphate to replace their current rotten constitutional democracies." Secretary of State John Kerry labeled the plan "an ingenious and invincible strategy. Once they have the votes to do this its 'game over' for all non-Muslims. Everyone will either have to convert or accept second-class citizen status. I don't see anyway we can stop this from happening."

Trump does not agree! Let us see what Ryan has to say with the other Rhino’s.
How about hateful rhetoric against Christians or Jews? Or is that OK with them?
But I am sure ridiculing Christians is still fair game, right?
