Obama Considering Measure To Ban Criticism Of Islam
Obama is considering a UN resolution that criminalizes speech Muslims consider blasphemous. Filed by Jessa Crane January 24th, 2015
If the Obama Administration has its way, the 1st Amendment will be subject to review by the United Nations.
The UN is pushing member nations to adopt something they call UN resolution 16/18. This is a resolution- proposed by the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, which is made up of 56 Islamic states- which would criminalize "hate speech" targeting Muslims.
This wholly un-Constitutional proposal was first floated in the aftermath of 9/11 amid fears that American Muslims would be unfairly targeted for abuse. The Bush Administration rightly rejected it. As Forbes notes,
Previous versions of the Resolution, which sought to criminalize blasphemous speech and the “defamation of religion,” were regularly rejected by the American delegation and by the US State Department, which insisted that limitations on speech – even speech deemed to be racist or blasphemous – were at odds with the Constitution. But this latest version, which includes the “incitement to imminent violence” phrase – that is, which criminalizes speech which incites violence against others on the basis of religion, race, or national origin – has succeeded in winning US approval –despite the fact that it (indirectly) places limitations as well on speech considered “blasphemous.”
Lovely. 56 Islamic nations have drafted a proposal that would make blasphemous speech (as defined by Muslims) illegal, and the American President supports this notion.
Let's note the Left's hypocrisy on this, since they would never dream of trying to criminalize speech that Christians or Jews might deem blasphemous. If any other President supported such a measure, we would all assume he'd been drugged and brainwashed. With Obama, it's par for the course.

Why Obama does not start with banning insults of Christians?
From another source:
And when I check TV news they are still talking about footballs.
And we’re supposed to believe this clown is not musloid.

meanwhile the race baiters nodded their empty heads in agree as michael brown’s step father yelled “burn this b!tch down”...
I wonder if the juvenile in the WH really thinks he can do this with his pen, phone and the UN?
The Muslim-In-Chief is about as anti-American as they come. Clearly a Marxist that continues to attack this country and its values, and its Constitutional laws and values.
Thank You Congress.
Were we to convince Western leaders and decision-makers of our right to live according to our faith — ideologically, legislatively, and ethically — without imposing our views or inflicting harm upon them, we would have traversed an immense barrier in our quest for an Islamic state.
Translation: To establish Islamic domination in the West, we do not need to resort to terrorism or to force non-Muslims to convert; we need merely a recognized right to resist assimilation, to regard sharia as superseding Western law and custom when the two conflict, as they do in fundamental ways.
This is precisely why the Organization of Islamic Cooperation — the bloc of 56 Muslim countries (plus the Palestinian Authority) — warned in a 2010 report on “Islamophobia” that “Muslims should not be marginalized or attempted to be assimilated, but should be accommodated.” (Here, at p. 30.) It is why Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the Islamist president of Turkey who has systematically dismantled that country’s secular, pro-Western system, pronounces that pressuring Muslims to assimilate “is a crime against humanity.”
At Oxford, Bobby Jindal bluntly asserted that the ideology of our enemy, radical Islam,
holds the view that it is wrong to expect assimilation, that assimilation is colonialist, assimilation is backward, and assimilation is in fact evidence of cultural bigotry and insensitivity. They think it is wrong to expect that people who chose to immigrate to your country should be expected to endorse and abide by your laws. They think it is unenlightened, discriminatory, and even racist to expect immigrants to endorse and assimilate into the culture in their new country. This is complete rubbish.That is the truth. The United States will not get national-security policy right, nor reestablish our credentials as leader of the free world, until we accept that truth. Accept it and resolve, as Governor Jindal has resolved, to tell it boldly.
Since when does and Indonesian follow US law?
Who cares what President @ssclown is considering! His branch is only 1/3 of this government. He is not a king, or dictator, even though he thinks he is. I would love someone to tell him that to his face on video!

Perhaps you did not get the memo from EXEMPT Boehner and
EXEMPT McConnell or one of their EXEMPT staff?
Let the dork try.
Sooner or later, Revolution II must start.
As usual, I volunteer to man the guillotine when Dorkbama is led up the steps.
I didn't think so.
Exactly! The very idea of banning criticism would be a poisonous bitter idea, that any other American President would spit out of his mouth. He can make whatever rules he wants, but his clout, his credibility, his gravitas if you will sink lower each day. That little bizarre stunt with Glo-zell didn’t do anything to boost the power of the Presidency. Laws can be nullified or revoked, is all I’m saying.
How about banning the killing of Christians by mooselimbs? Yea right. /s
Link to the PDF document. Sorry I can’t delink it from google.
I’ll put Islam down like the dog religion it is as long as I live.
I don’t see it anywhere remotely Obama’s job description.
Please point out in the Constitution, (article ?, paragraph ??) where potus gets the power for what he intends to do.
