Advocates accused a Georgia lawmaker of targeting Muslim women with proposed changes to a 1951 state law passed to unmask the Ku Klux Klan, creating a backlash that prompted the Republican legislator to quickly discard the idea.

State Rep. Jason Spencer came under fire from the American Civil Liberties Union and Muslim advocacy groups who called his proposal a veiled attempt to ban Muslim women from wearing scarves and other religious headgear that covers their faces in public — just as the law has prohibited Klan members from wearing masks during rallies and marches on public property. …

I don’t see how one can be Muslim and actually love women.

Spencer should resign, because he’s a f*cking pussy. This is why these savages are allowed to get away with the crap they do. Everyone caves.

Not anymore! Trump doesn’t! I’m sure that will rub off on a ton of people, once they see he does it, and can survive the fake outrage.

This idiot hasn’t been watching the news for the past two weeks?

Caving to this sort of nonsense is no longer necessary. Soon it won’t even be a good career move.

“Masking in Public” laws have been on the books for decades in most jurisdictions.

These invaders are not going to order us to change our laws to their shariah-liking.

It was never necessary to begin with. Doing so shows how ideologically “Uniparty” one is.

We don’t know yet what Trump will or won’t go wobbly on.
He has yet to be tested in a National sense. Perhaps not even The Donald knows right now just what position he’ll settle on in certain areas of debate. The plus side of this is we have a President who is very likely to listen to the voice of the people.

Remember that week where he gave about seven different conflicting opinions on Abortion in the space of a 24 hour period? This was last April or May, I believe. It was very disturbing for people like me, who wanted to vote for him. It was during this time, I decided not to listen to every thing he was saying at the moment. I would be better off just waiting for his last word or concluding results.
Trump tends to think out loud, but this too may be a well honed tactic he employs to produce certain candid reactions.

Muslims are the KKK of our time.

So yes, unmask them!

They should be

They both hate Jews, Catholics and and just about anyone that isn’t like them.

1) Clown masks have been the big problem in GA according to the media. So how do they now make it about Muslims?

2) We have Freepers on the SE GA coast/Woodbine, Camden County. What say they?

Funny to me how this is...I never see a woman now with a full head scarf on that I do not assume, ASSUME, is Muslim. Why is that not enough.

He might be a guy...how would we know in our transgender or even female restrooms? I guess I’ll watch a little more closely now when I walk into a closed door restroom, you know the kind with several stalls.

I hope so. Because us folks that live in a small, rural county could use some support to keep the savages from building a madrasa, cemetery, mosque, and housing here. And when the local CAIR chapter threatened to sue, the county caved in.
