Here it comes… After electing Muslims into power in New Jersey, the state is set to pass a bill that criminalizes the criticism of Islam. It is the furtherance of Sharia and Islamic Supremacy by weaponizing “Islamophobia” to do so. Look for the UK-style censorship of free speech to spread to other states now that the Red/Green Alliance is ascendant in the US.
Fresh from electing Muslim Democratic Representative Adam Hamawy, who seems to have a problem with naming Iran our enemy, New Jersey is now furthering Sharia and attempting to censor free speech by passing Assembly Bill A1146, which defines “Islamophobia” as racism and could be criminally prosecutable. The Islamic-controlled state is looking to follow the catastrophic UK example on hate speech that favors Islam and silences infidels into submission. It’s not only unconstitutional, but also barbaric.
Following Europe into the Dark Ages
For anyone who thought the censorship that is being used to throttle Brits couldn’t come here… you were wrong. The Red/Green Alliance is now ascendant in the US, and they are determined to silence those who will not submit to communism and Islam.
New Jersey Democrats claim that the measure guides public officials and police in applying existing anti-discrimination and bias laws. It criminalizes free speech and directly hits the First Amendment. If it passes and you dare to speak out against Islam in public, online, or even in private, you could go to prison. Savor that new 1984 reality for a moment. And if you think this won’t spread to other states, look at how the midterm elections were rigged. All’s fair in Islam, communism, and war.
The bill puts “hostility and fear of Islam” into a definition that officials would have to consider when assessing discriminatory motive. They will become the thought police.
The bill is already drawn up and just waiting for Democrats to green-light it as it sits in committee – this is what they want to ban:
=Hatred or severe disparagement towards Muslim persons or their culture.
- Hostility and fear of Islam, and as a result, a fear of and aversion to all Muslims or the majority of Muslims.
- Discrimination, harassment, prejudice, and unequal treatment of Muslim persons or Muslim-majority communities.
- Exclusion of Muslim persons or Muslim-majority communities from major political and social spheres.
- Making mendacious, dehumanizing, demonizing, or stereotypical allegations about Muslims, or of Muslims as a collective group, especially but not exclusively, conspiracies about Muslims’ entry into politics, government, or other societal institutions, the myth of Muslim identity having a unique propensity for terrorism, and claims of a demographic threat posed by Muslims or of a Muslim takeover.
- Rhetorical, violent, or physical anti-Muslim manifestations directed against Muslim or non-Muslim individuals, or their property, or Muslim community institutions and religious facilities.
- Shouting, verbal or physical abuse, pushing, spitting, pulling hijabs from Muslim women, and other forms of prejudicial abuse that target Muslims.
- Calling for, aiding, encouraging, supporting, or justifying the killing, harming, or defaming of anyone, simply for practicing Islam or exhibiting a Muslim identity or heritage.
- Expressing an outlook or worldview involving an unfounded dread and dislike of Muslims, which results in practices of exclusion and discrimination.
- Accusing those practicing Islam, or exhibiting a Muslim identity or heritage, whether singularly or collectively, as being wholly responsible for any real or imagined wrongdoing committed by a single Muslim person or group.
- Accusing Muslim citizens of being more loyal to a transnational Muslim community or to their countries of origin, or to the alleged priorities of Muslims worldwide, than to the interests of the people of New Jersey or the interests of the people of the United States.
- Accusing those practicing Islam, or exhibiting a Muslim identity or heritage, whether singularly or collectively, as being wholly responsible for any real or imagined wrongdoing committed by any Muslim-majority country.
- Accusing those practicing Islam, or exhibiting a Muslim identity or heritage, whether singularly or collectively, as being more loyal to any foreign Muslim-majority country, or the alleged priorities of Muslim persons worldwide, than to the interests of the people of the State of New Jersey, or to the interests of the people of the United States.
From Hot Air:
…Other examples cover speech and viewpoints. These include “hostility and fear of Islam,” stereotypical allegations about Muslims, and “claims of a demographic threat posed by Muslims or of a Muslim takeover.”
The bill does not make any of these examples a crime by itself. What it does is tell public officials and police to “take into consideration” the definition when they review, investigate or decide whether someone broke an existing state law or policy against discrimination. That review would be used to determine whether an act was motivated by anti-Muslim intent and whether charges could be filed under existing criminal laws if it was driven by any of the 13 proposed acts.
There are no similar laws in New Jersey protecting Jews or Christians. Shocker.

Is anyone surprised?
I’m not. But maybe there’ll be a 1st Amendment challenge….
I hope the courts knock it down as a freedom of religion violation.
“I’m not. But maybe there’ll be a 1st Amendment challenge….”
If the Dems have their way, before the challenge can be heard Thomas and Alito will be forced into retirement and replaced by 2 far left judges. The court will be expanded from 9 justices to 13 resulting in an overwhelming majority of left wing justices who will decide each case based on the “living and evolving Constitution” instead of the written Constitution.
The DOJ needs to Criminally Prosecute every last politician that voted for this and put them in Prison for the FELONIES THEY COMMITTED.
18 U.S. Code § 241 - Conspiracy against rights
If two or more persons conspire to injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him by the Constitution or laws of the United States, or because of his having so exercised the same; or
If two or more persons go in disguise on the highway, or on the premises of another, with intent to prevent or hinder his free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege so secured—
They shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and if death results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include kidnapping or an attempt to kidnap, aggravated sexual abuse or an attempt to commit aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to kill, they shall be fined under this title or imprisoned for any term of years or for life, or both, or may be sentenced to death.
They will make it illegal to display that picture.
When someone says the Constitution is a “living document” what they are really saying is that it is dead.
I want a bumper sticker. Islam is a plague on the free world
The Black plague is more harmful to America
Freedom-of-speech, surely...
If only there was a Tony Soprano type still in Jersey.
So, saying Islam is a false religion, Mohammed was a pedophile and a liar, and allah is no more God than a ham sandwich is a crime in NJ?
Yet another reason to avoid the state.
The smell alone from Camden was enough.
I went to Camden one time to see if we could buy an old plant to strip and salvage. Everything worth salvaging had been stripped in the two months the plant was idle. Not a foot of copper wire was left, and there was so much damage to the vessels (what we were after), it would cost more to certify them than build new ones.
Lunacy is now in the forefront of American life. Also doubt there is a Federal judge in the entire NY/NJ area that will have the courage to declare this assault on free speech unconstitutional.
I’m sure the military “hero” who cheated her way through Anapolis and was out on maternity leave 90% of her “service” will be happy to sign everyone’s free speech away.
Is anyone surprised?
I guess I am. See the 1st Amendment. I think it explicitly says that you have the freedom of faith and religion, The media has the freedom to write about it, and I have the freedom to make fun of you for it.
I suppose calling islam the Religion of Terror (i.e., the ROT) would be outlawed in Newjerseystan as well ... but at least because the term is factually applied protects me from charges of slander and libel.
Assassinate Christians and Jews - good
Criticize islam - criminal
What it boils down to is, Are we going to wait until we’re halfway down the snake’s gullet before we start fighting back?
