Sharia in America: Democrats and Muslim Legislators seek to criminalize free speech

[Vigilante]

There is very dangerous legislation making its way through both the House of Representatives and Senate that will finish the United States. The sharia bill calls for Islamic blasphemy laws — the criminalization of speech that offends or insults — who, exactly? Well, that is up to the enforcer, is it not?

On Wednesday, Senator Ed Markey (D-MA) introduced “The Hate Crime Reporting Act of 2014″ (S.2219), which seeks “to examine the prevalence of hate crime and hate speech on the Internet, television, and radio to better address such crimes.” Congressman Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) introduced a companion bill in the House – H.R. 3878.

Yes, we see, Hakeem. The first amendment protects all speech, not just speech that we like. Or else who would decide what’s good and what’s forbidden? Hakeem? When I was a young girl, the Nazis were given permission to march in a predominately Jewish neighborhood. In those days, Nazi mean something. Morality was still very much in the American DNA. Good and evil was understood — unlike today, where the left has banished such terms. Despite the horror of a Nazi march, they were given permission, and those of us who were repelled by such a monstrous action understood why permission was granted because of the underlying premise — free speech. I didn’t worry that their Nazi ideas would take hold, as long as I could speak and others could speak in the free exchange of ideas. I knew I would win because my ideas were better. Individual rights was the greatest achievement of the enlightened.

Now we are here. Our free speech is threatened by islamic supremacists and their Democrat lapdogs under the guise of “hate speech.” The old “hate speech” canard. They will package this revolution against freedom in a pretty package — and will use the Max Blumenthal-inspired racist murderer, Glenn Miller. But do not be fooled.

It’s bad enough they have all but blacklisted the voices of freedom from media, political and national discourse. Shouting into the wilderness is not freedom of speech.

What next? Burning books? Perhaps just as long as it’s not the quran. And yet there is more hate speech in the quran than in Mein Kampf......

It will die. You have the right to be stupid and use hate speech. I have the right to hit you where it hurts. In your pocketbook.

i read the proposal, and while silly and redundant, it does not seek to ban free speech, rather speech that is already banned, eg, incite to violence or to commit a crime.

you're overreacting

I just sent a letter opposing this to all senators in my district...

We'll let others chime in with their opinions!

 

[Moonglow]

I do not agree that hate speech should be directed at any one party or affiliation, it should encompass all Americans..

 

[theDoctorisIn]

The bill doesn't do anything like what Pamela Gellar is claiming it does.

Nevertheless, it's still a pointless bill with no chance of passing.

 

[Sunni Man]

Pamela Gellar is a rabid hater and psychotic loon of epic proportions. ..

hate speech is really silly and violates the first amendment. speech inciting violence etc...is already not protected speech. if we start banning "hate" speech, where do we end? sure, slippery slope argument, but in this case the argument is valid.

The first amendment protects all speech, not just speech that we like.

It protects primarily political speech, not all speech.

 

[bianco]

Bye bye the First Amendment...it was only a matter of time after most of America seemed to fall in love with and appease Islam, Inter-faith, Muslim culture, and the Ground Zero mosque was built.

The first amendment protects all speech, not just speech that we like.

It protects only political speech.
