Two Republicans on the list means it will be called a bipartisan bill.

And, accordingly, congressman ANYONE, R- Any Where should offer up a commensurate bill that:

Condemns violence, bigotry, and hateful rhetoric towards Christians in the United States.

It’s just that damn simple.

And a commensurate bill for Jews.

But it’s just a resolution right? No penalties?

I’m politically correct!

Yes, you are correct. It appears to be just plain, old...

Doh, reformatting the resolution didn’t work.

I have been given grief about this. This will pass. Obama going to that mosque and this Hres is coming up for a vote. It will be illegal to say the truth about Islam soon in this country. Just like facebook in Germany. They have arrested a couple in Germany last week for telling the truth.

My error. I picked up the middle initial ‘R’ for one of them while scanning, and the other was an ‘R’ in the name of the State, SO ALL WERE DEMOCRATS.

APOLOGIES.

It’s a stupid resolution, but it is not a blasphemy law. It has no legal effect, whatsoever:

RESOLUTION

Condemning violence, bigotry, and hateful rhetoric towards Muslims in the United States.

Whereas the victims of anti-Muslim hate crimes and rhetoric have faced physical, verbal, and emotional abuse because they were Muslim or believed to be Muslim;

Whereas the constitutional right to freedom of religious practice is a cherished United States value and violence or hate speech towards any United States community based on faith is in contravention of the Nationâ€™s founding principles;

Whereas there are millions of Muslims in the United States, a community made up of many diverse beliefs and cultures, and both immigrants and native-born citizens;

Whereas this Muslim community is recognized as having made innumerable contributions to the cultural and economic fabric and well-being of United States society;

Whereas hateful and intolerant acts against Muslims are contrary to the United States values of acceptance, welcoming, and fellowship with those of all faiths, beliefs, and cultures;

Whereas these acts affect not only the individual victims but also their families, communities, and the entire group whose faith or beliefs were the motivation for the act;

Whereas Muslim women who wear hijabs, headscarves, or other religious articles of clothing have been disproportionately targeted because of their religious clothing, articles, or observances; and

Whereas the rise of hateful and anti-Muslim speech, violence, and cultural ignorance plays into the false narrative spread by terrorist groups of Western hatred of Islam, and can encourage certain individuals to react in extreme and violent ways: Now, therefore, be it

Resolved, That the House of Representativesâ€”

(1) expresses its condolences for the victims of anti-Muslim hate crimes;

(2) steadfastly confirms its dedication to the rights and dignity of all its citizens of all faiths, beliefs, and cultures;

(3) denounces in the strongest terms the increase of hate speech, intimidation, violence, vandalism, arson, and other hate crimes targeted against mosques, Muslims, or those perceived to be Muslim;

(4) recognizes that the United States Muslim community has made countless positive contributions to United States society;

(5) declares that the civil rights and civil liberties of all United States citizens, including Muslims in the United States, should be protected and preserved;

(6) urges local and Federal law enforcement authorities to work to prevent hate crimes; and to prosecute to the fullest extent of the law those perpetrators of hate crimes; and

(7) reaffirms the inalienable right of every citizen to live without fear and intimidation, and to practice their freedom of faith.

Will someone please explain to these idiots that condemning ISLAMIC TERRORISM, is NOT “hate speech”.

This is all about suppressing our ability to call out the problem as it exists.

To: rockinqsranch

Phew! I was wearing my eyes out going up and down the list lol!

What’s pathetic is that we control the House so thoroughly (under the magnificent leadership of Paulie Po’Boy Ryan) that they could easily breeze through a companion bill condemning any blasphemous speech, communication or action toward Christians.

Let the Democrats line up to vote against that.

May they all have their heads removed by followers of their “prophet”.

Why would anyone need an amendment to the Constitution regarding free speech? Because after the government shuts you up, then they will come for your life.

That’s why there is an amendment to keep and bear arms.

A “reset button” so to speak.
