In “response to the spike in anti-Muslim bigotry,” the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee has quietly scheduled a special hearing for early next week to better protect Muslim civil rights in America.
Organized by Illinois Democrat Dick Durbin, who chairs the judiciary subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights and Human Rights, the event will mark the first-ever congressional hearing on Muslim civil rights. Durbin put it together because he claims there’s been a surge in anti-Muslim bigotry in the last year. As examples he offers Quran burnings, restrictions on mosque construction, hate crimes, hate speech, and other forms of discrimination.
Scheduled for March 29 in the DirksenSenateOfficeBuilding, the hearing ( “Protecting the Civil Rights of American Muslims”) will feature an all-star panel of leftist civil rights leaders, including the illegal immigrant advocate President Obama appointed to run a key division of the Justice Department. Assistant Attorney General Thomas Perez, who heads the agency’s civil rights division, is the headliner followed by Farhana Khera who runs a San Francisco group called Muslim Advocates. Read about Perez’s latest shenanigans here.
In a speech at the Muslim Advocates annual dinner last year, Attorney General Eric Holder saluted the group and called it a partner in his agency’s mission to promote tolerance, ensure public safety and protect civil rights. Before the address Holder had met with Khera to discuss “shared concerns” about rising levels of religious intolerance and the unacceptable ”us versus them” mentality that the government has towards Muslims.
Those meetings were simply part of the Obama Administration’s ongoing Muslim outreach efforts. In the last year alone Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano discussed national security matters with a group of extremist Muslim organizations, the nation’s space agency (NASA) was ordered to focus on Muslim diplomacy and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton signed a special order to allow the reentry of two radical Islamic academics whose terrorist ties long banned them from the U.S.
The Obama Administration also sent an America-bashing mosque leader (Feisal Abdul Rauf) who blames U.S. foreign policy for the 9/11 attacks on a Middle Eastern outreach mission and ordered a government-funded meal program for home-bound seniors to offer halal cuisine prepared according to Islamic law.
Here's a piece on Gretawire today re Perez filing a DOJ lawsuit for Muslim school teacher:
So, then, there will follow a Senate hearing on the civil rights of Christians in response to a spike in anti-Christian bigotry, right? Right?
No, they're Marxists and other types of anti-American extremists attempting to implement their boss's anti-American agenda.
Their rights need to be entrenched, alrighty...some where in the deserts of Mexico.
Every last one of them should be fired for treason!
Exactly, they’re lapdogs for the Won.
Not surprised Dick “Turban” is a part of this.
Stealth jihad is here, folks. With Sharia marching behind.
We The People DEMAND protection from these uninvited invaders.
Amen to that and Obama impeached for unconstitutionally sending our military to Libya.
Not surprising from Sen. Turban.
Welcome to the generation of illiterate and ill-informed grads.
If he, Obama and his wrecking crew, gets his way there will be no America.
“Most people do not recognize that what happens in a mosque is sedition. Pure and simple. Islam is not just a “religion”, it is a cult. Larger than that though, it is a political system, it is it’s own government, a economic system (which includes funding new mosque construction), it’s judicial…all wrapped up in the word sharia. This is inclusive of its military (jihadis) all rolled into one with one intent …and that is to rule wherever they take root. It is an invasive, systemic infection looking to take over the host once it has quantum.
This is not a “religion”, but something that cloaks itself in those terms so it should not be given the same treatment contemplated under the first amendment. The Koran’s Sharia rules are to consume whatever government there is wherever it goes. Islam is political, and it’s goal is to supplant and replace. Globally.”
Supplant and replace? That is a direct threat to the American constitution.
Innocent religion? ~~~ NOT!
.... drink more kool aid, folks, give the MB more rights.
This is a bizarro world.
The pogroms waged against Muslims in the US have been terrible. Hate crime after hate crime. Something must be done.
Actually, I think the amazing thing is that (aside from the vaporings of the chattering class) Americans have been incredibly tolerant of Muslims, considering the killings conducted by their co-religionists.
We’ve been tolerant to the point of abdicating our values concerning the exceptionalism of America and our responsibility to pass those values on to the next generation.
What a filthy bunch of ba$tards to use taxpayer money to fund something as worthless as a one-sided love fest with these savages. Disgusting!
“...and ordered a government-funded meal program for home-bound seniors to offer halal cuisine prepared according to Islamic law.”
Question: Does Meals for Seniors currently include Kosher food for home-bound seniors?
Holder has it wrong. His department’s mission is not to promote tolerance, it is to enforce the law. Dumb sh#%.

While the House should start investigating Obama’s ‘rushing to war’ charges.
