Massachusetts Bill S.2134 would create an 11-member Government commission focused solely on the status of American Muslims

What the actual heck is going on in MA?!?!?! Massachusetts Democrats are advancing a permanent state commission that exists only for people who practice Islam.

Bill S.2134 would create an 11-member Government commission focused solely on the status of American Muslims.

Appointees would come from the governor, attorney general, legislative leaders, and racial equity committee chairs.

The body could accept private donations, hire staff including a paid executive director, hold public meetings, and file annual reports to the governor and legislature recommending policy changes.

No other religion receives this exact permanent structure. Sponsors and advocacy groups frame it as a civil rights measure to address bullying and inclusion.

Critics see a special government body for one faith as a clear break from equal treatment and the principle that the state does not favor any religion.

The bill has already cleared key committees and sits in Ways and Means. If it becomes law it would launch with real authority and access to both public resources and outside money.

A government that creates official commissions for one religion while leaving every other faith without the same standing is not practicing neutrality.

Equal protection under the law means no special status for any belief system. This proposal deserves full public scrutiny before it advances any further

Muslim Brotherhood is happy to fill the spots.

Indeed, they probably are sponsoring the whole effort.

Can the commission give American muslims the status of “GONE!”?

Their status should be in a line for deportation back to where they came from.

They don’t fit into our way of life here. They demand to much obedience and special favors to their politireligion to blend with Americans.

As an aside, I posted this question on the s/askredditanything sub: why is there an apparent alliance between American neo-marxism and radical Islam? The only rational answer I received is, “Who said anything about Neo-marxism? I’m a Marxist”.

I thanked him for his candor.

I’ll keep pounding the washtub for as long as it takes: we are not up against true Marxists. We are up against Bureaucratic State Capitalists. They do not want ‘the People’ to own the means of production. They themselves want to own the means of production, and everything else. They will graciously let you rent stuff from them but that’s about it.

Any form of Marxism cannot co-exist for long with Wahhabi Islam. They are using each other. Sooner or later they will kill each other, but millions of people will go down with them.

Separation of church and state just means separation of Christianity and state, silly.

Sounds like the Massachusetts Statehouse didn’t get the memo.

The Constitution.

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”

~~~~~~
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion”

I’m not a “Constitutional Lawyer” like Obama*. I’m not even a disbarred lawyer like Hillary! or Big Mike.

I think that these blue/communist states can impanel any kind of private committees they want. As long as there are no tax dollars involved.

Whoopsie. This measure has the force of law. The Governor appoints the members. Unless the Governor is appointing members in his spare time and not on the taxpayers dime. Ridiculous.

Now. Absolutely clear Constitutional violation. It will take many years to contest this through State Court, Federal, Federal Appeals, Supreme Court.

I’m so sick of lawyers and judges.

Boy howdy.

The pink/green/blue/red-haired lesbians, gays, trannies and leftists are going to be really surprised when there’s a knock at the door from the islamists.

That they supported.

How sad.

Education is important.

a permanent state commission that exists only for people who practice Islam.

There are plenty of local, state and federal commissions that focus solely on anti-Semitism and Jewish concerns.

Muslims just want some of the special considerations that Jews get.
