Democrat resolution seeks to curb hate-speech wave ... and admits it's fictional
Christian Action Network ^ | 1/04/2016 | Alec Rooney

House Democrats have moved to clamp down on a wave of anti-Muslim sentiment and crime in the United States that they concede — in the very text of their own resolution — does not actually exist.

.........

Apart from the obvious dangers of U.S. lawmakers moving to demonize Americans for the things they say, the resolution goes on to confusingly cancel itself out in terms of simple logic.

After declaring the importance of Muslims to the U.S. culture and economy, and that “hate speech” goes against “the Nation’s founding principles,” and that women in hijabs and headscarves are being “targeted,” H.R. 569 paradoxically states in its eighth paragraph that:

“ ... the rise of hateful and anti-Muslim speech, violence, and cultural ignorance plays into the false narrative spread by terrorist groups of Western hatred of Islam.”

The resolution is targeting, therefore, a “rise” in Americans' speech and actions that is in fact, when cited “by terrorist groups,” merely a “false narrative.”

They want a hammer — to use against any American who speaks out against Islam.

The end goal is to jail normal people who SAY that mouzlims are raping and murdering wherever they go.
They have no intention whatsoever of stopping the raping and murdering.

Saudi Arabia is taknig steps to break the deal Obama and Kerry made with Iran and prevent them from getting $150 Billion to develop nukes with.

Civil wars are escalating in the middle east between muslim factions.

Obama will not rest until he can create one here in America. Like his party, he believes a manufactured issue can be used to divide people an maybe cause violence. He and the media have no concern for who or what is harmed as long as they can create mayhem.

This is the role of a community organizer.

Nope that’s not the end goal. Do you beleive the progs support Islamists?

The end goal is government control, prog control, over all speech. Hate anti
Muslim speech is just one small scrimage in the war.
