Why I’m opposed to Ilhan Omar’s bill against Islamophobia [link to complete article - no paywall]
Archive of Washington Post ^ | January 25, 2022 | Masih Alinejad

Five years ago, I took part in the largest single-day protest in U.S. history: the 2017 Women’s March, the day after the inauguration of President Donald Trump. This was my first protest in my new country. The most amazing part of it was what didn’t happen. No one beat us up. No one arrested us. No one opened fire.

As someone who has been repeatedly targeted by a vicious authoritarian regime — like countless others in my home country of Iran — I found this to be an astonishing experience.

So she attended the “Womens march”? Did she wear a P-Hat or a V-Costume under her burka?

No doubt it would require that Islamic terrorists now be referred to as “some people”.

With the Left everything is about -ism or -phobia.

How about we pass a law to counter Christianophobia? This seems to be a much bigger problem worldwide.

Or, how about we take action against China’s repression of the Muslim Uyghurs? Does the brother-boinker not care about these Muslims? Are they not the right “kind” of Muslims?

Why I’m opposed to Ilhan Omar’s bill against Islamophobia

/\

So the Jr. TaliBidenist
is pushing a sharia blasphemy bill , figures.

Its a congress not a caliphate , maybe she should just move her butt back to what she wants. I hear saudi Arabia and Iran do the sharia law thing pretty well.

Actually, it’s worse than you think, “some people” means “the Jews did it”. Lots of people were trying to claim the Jews stayed away from the WTC that day because they knew it was coming and they planted bombs in the buildings.

But President Trump and his supporters (us) were mercilessly punished and doxxed, canceled and targeted. But we didn't do anything wrong. We've been good little boys and girls.

So, my answer to the top line is ya' live and learn, I guess.

If the left didn’t have a Double Standard, they would have no standards at all.

Yeah, I’ve heard that among the “truther” theories. And although I’ve seen footage of Palestinians celebrating in the streets on 9/11, most Muslims in America don’t want to be so outright about it. They want to be treated like victims instead, and for that they need a scapegoat. It doesn’t surprise me at all that they choose the Jews, who they traditionally hate. As do socialists, by the way, so Democrats are all too willing to go along with it.

House of Representatives Votes to Eradicate Blasphemy Against Islam
American Thinker ^ | 28 Dec, 2021 | Arvind Kumar
Posted on 12/28/2021, 6:46:09 AM by MtnClimber

The House of Representatives has passed a bill which seeks to eradicate blasphemy against Islam. The bill, H.R. 5665, is truly remarkable as it amounts to Congress making a law respecting the establishment of Islam and reducing the United States government into a tool of the world’s ayatollahs.

The actual text of the bill not only seeks to eradicate blasphemy against Islam around the world – and solely against Islam at that – but even requires the federal government to reorganize some portions of the State Department along the lines of an Islamic religious institution which will be responsible for interpreting the Quran. For example, the text of the bill mandates that “[t]he Secretary of State shall establish within the Department of State an Office” and the “purpose” of the office is described as “[m]onitoring and combating acts of Islamophobia and Islamophobic incitement that occur in foreign countries.” That is, the State Department is required to create an office which is a cross between George Orwell’s Big Brother and the Taliban.

The word ‘combat’ in the text of the law is problematic but fits in perfectly with the concept of waging violent jihad against the countries deemed to have committed blasphemy against Islam. Almost every dictionary defines the word primarily as an action pertaining to war. While the internet firm Google’s dictionary defines ‘combat’ as “fighting between armed forces,” Cambridge Dictionary defines the word as “a fight, especially during a war.” According to Collins Dictionary, “combat is fighting that takes place in a war.” This is no hyperbole as the State Department has a long history of supporting Islamic terrorists such as Osama bin Laden, the Taliban, Al Qaeda and the ISIS.
