H.J.R.XXX One Hundred Fifteenth Congress of the United States of America

AT THE FIRST SESSION

Begun and held at the City of Washington on (Place date here)

An Act

To revoke the tax exempt status of all Islamic organizations in the United States. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE

Short Title- This Act may be cited as the `revocation of Islamic Organizations tax status Act of 2015 or RIOTS.

SECTION 2. Revocation of Islamic organizations tax exempt status

Whereas, under the Internal Revenue Code, all section 501(c)(3) organizations are absolutely prohibited from directly or indirectly participating in, or intervening in, any political campaign on behalf of (or in opposition to) any candidate for elective public office and to refrain from political activity;

Whereas, it is obvious that Islam is not a religion but a political system that is in opposition to the laws and traditions of the United States;

Whereas, an ideology that prohibits voluntary choice to be a part of that belief, is nothing but a totalitarian dictatorial system;

Whereas, Sharia law is a barbaric legal system which cannot and will not be used anywhere in the United States;

Whereas, the primary text of Islam, the Quran, repeatedly indicates ongoing commands, compulsion, praise and reward for violent and terroristic acts against all non-believers, and this is in direct conflict with this country's founding principles of individual liberty and freedom of religion.

Whereas, Islam’s Quran, is a book filled with a call for violence, prejudice against women, political domination and perversions; and

Whereas, the sacrifices of members and veterans of the Armed Forces on behalf of the United States in fighting Islam should never be forgotten;

Therefore, now be it so declared,

That the House and Senate supports the revocation of any and all tax exemptions now enjoyed by Islamic institutions.

Take away their zerocare waivers, too.

The U.S. Constitution won’t let you single out one particular religious group. You would have to write it in such a way that would apply equally to all religious groups, and you couldn’t single out one by name. We’ve already had a court decision on that matter in Oklahoma. It was overturned.

Sorry no.

I won’t discriminate on the basis of religion. Behavior yes. Actions yes. Politics yes. But faith even if it’s not my own, is fundamental to the founding of our country.

You assert Islam is not a religion but a political system. Attack the political system then, not the religion.

Epic (and I mean Epic) Fail.

I don’t believe the government should be in the business of deciding which beliefs constitute a ‘real’ religion.

While it is difficult to deal with a religion that is against our way of life and uses violence to oppose anyone who disagrees, the country must devise other means to defuse the threat.

I’d start with the 2nd Ammendment as the basic protection of our values.
