This is not the first time that al-Husainy has called for restrictions on the freedom of speech. In 2012 he declared: They should put a law not to insult a spiritual leader. Al-Husainy is also a virulently antisemitic supporter of Hizballah. With the President of the United States having declared the the future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam, and many in the mainstream media eagerly practicing self-censorship to appease Islamic supremacists, he probably sees this as his best chance to impose Sharia speech restrictions upon the U.S.
Im not in favor of book burnings, but to use the burning of any book to impose free speech restrictions is to destroy a foundation of free society and bring tyranny to the U.S.
(UPDATED) Qurans burned at Dearborn mosque; imams consider new law, by Aysha Jamali, Press & Guide, June 17, 2014 (thanks to all who sent this in):
DEARBORN Several Qurans were burned in front of a mosque at about noon Tuesday in possible connection with anti-Islam Pastor Terry Jones expected visit to the city Saturday.
The three copies of the Quran, Muslims holy book believed to be the word of God, were set on fire and left to burn at the curb in front of the Karbalaa Islamic Educational Center, 15332 W. Warren Ave.
The imam of the mosque, Sheikh Husham Al-Husainy, confirmed that the incident occurred and that police are investigating .
Why are they investigating? It isnt illegal to burn a book in the U.S. at least not yet.
Imam wants new law banning burning of holy books
Several attorneys also met with the imams at Thursdays meeting. Al-Husainy said they helped with legal advice in his plan for a new law making it illegal to burn or desecrate holy books.
We want all of the religions to cooperate with us to bring respect to the word of God, whether the Quran, Bible, or Torah, he said.
He said he understands it will be a challenge.
But again, a journey of 1,000 miles starts with one step, he said.
He and the imams will collect signatures of supporters before addressing the City Council to inquire about making a new city ordinance.
Al-Husainy said its a duty to protect the divine word. He said he worries that a nation where the words of God are burned in disrespect will not be blessed anymore.
Several attempts to legally prohibit the desecration of the American flag have failed in the U.S. for reasons that it violates rights to free speech.
...and unto the 3rd gear did our Chavelle shift at the most holy number of 4700 RPM, and the tires did chirp and there was much rejoicing...
LOL. Reminds me of a Blues Brothers line, “Our Lady of Blessed Acceleration, don’t fail me now!”
There needs to be an immam banishment into Ontario
No. It’s the reason I drink three cups of coffee every morning. I want to be prepared.
LOL!
Get out of my country!
Speaketh not ill of the 67 Chevelle. Glory be to the 396 cubic inch. Idle not too long at the light, for is it not glorious to smoketh the tires? Yeah be unto those with four on the floor!
:-)
Muzzies burn their tattered worn-out Korans all the time.
The Imam may have marked these for destruction but put them to PR use instead. False flag to da max!
But again, a journey of 1,000 miles starts with one step, he said.”
We must never forget that the Islamic enemies of liberty are boundlessly patient and persistent. The OIC (Organization of Islamic Cooperation) is the largest voting block in the UN, and they are determined to make it illegal worldwide to in any way insult Islam. They will try to impose these laws on America through treaties, and at the moment they have vigorous allies in the White House.
I have no doubt that the excessive political-correctness we are seeing on college campuses and in government institutions is part of this initiative. The very concept of “hate crimes”, followed quickly by “hate speech” will lead inexorably to making it a crime to in any way speak ill of Islam and its so-called prophet.
Think of the destination that this journey of 1,000 miles is leading to.
I call for the imam to get out of my country.
They should put a law not to insult a spiritual leader.
Insulting spiritual leaders, or more specifically leaders of any kind, is a recreational sport in America.
Maybe some locals in the area should start putting up signs, Islam is a lie and a perversion of God’s way...across the area and see how free speech stands
Well OIC cannot be here, there or everywhere and there will still be those who will not put up with the OIC’s nonsense.
Um................NO.
***But again, a journey of 1,000 miles starts with one step, he said.***
A journey back to the DARK AGES.
Illy weeny chili beany the spirits are about to speak...
A first reaction is to remain silent, at first, all the while watching to take note of those who agree with him. It's a pretty good test of the 'man in the street's' rudimentary knowledge of the Constitution and our nation's history.
What could be more obvious? Everywhere such a policy is enacted ceases to be America, and must be retaken.
It's time to reinstitute "the rail" and the Tar and Feathers.
Can I still call Jeremiah Wright an ignorant, pontificating jerk?
“Woe beith to the riceburner. It is an abomination.”
LOL...best answer of all!
