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 not start by banning hate speech against Jews? Hitler started with hate speech against Jews. But they are a minority, so why would Obama want to protect them when he has billions of muslims to kowtow to.
Saw that before, now that`s freaky!
Hadn’t really thot about it, being well stocked with ammo. But there aren’t any guillotines around. Should I be stocking up on steel plate so I at least have something to make them out of when the time comes? I suggest drawing for high card when it’s time to pick an operator?
Some pigs are more equal than others.
Try it.
Personally, I think true American government is gone. I will be surprised if I see regular elections take place in 2016. I never thought I would find myself saying such a thing...but I am saying it now. Our economy has been ruined and the government is so corrupt and inept...that when the only logical economic outcome takes place and/or we are successfully hit by terrorists or other evil governments, this present government will completely cease to exist.
I DO believe that the American people will survive, particularly those who have put their trust in God, but it will be a survival that emerges from suffering. Some of that has only just begun.
nobama has verified again and again that he is a moslem. What else would you expect him to do?
Do we need any more proof that this man hates this country?
I would suggest that any statement supporting UN control over the American population is, in fact, speech that qualifies as "incitement to imminent violence."
Easy solution. The military needs to keep Air Force 1 from returning to the US from India. The it’s time to through out all of his muzzie friends. Jarret’s @ss can be dumped over Iran.
The $Profit$ mohammed was born a turtle.
In his early years, mo-ham was breast fed from a sow.
He used to make figures of his momma with his finger in the mud and would stab his middle finger in the snout for nostrils.
Mo was beaten regularly by other boys in the village, mostly because he liked it.
When the sun set, his father would call out for him. Mohammed would finish sucking the blood from a doves head freshly twisted free of its sholders and offer a gurgled - “coming father” in arabic which sounded more like a tribute to the devil herself.
Ok Mr. President...so when the Muslim Nations say that the Jews must be defeated and driven into the sea, you will send troops to Nuke and Dismantle the Islamic Terror Regimes, correct?
TY
The “United Nations” has no authority over the US Constitution.
That does not matter. We have been invaded by and are now occupied by an enemy from within.
New Black Panthers will be federalized to enforce Sharia law.
Sounds like some crappola the Roberts court will side with.
Criticism and attacks on Jews and Christians will still be protected under the 1st amendment.
We don’t need no stinking U.N.!
Bwahahaha!....welcome to the UNIPARTY!
