(Conservative Tribune) – Two weeks ago, 69 House Democrats signed H.R. 569, which cleverly conflated violence against followers of Islam with “bigotry” and “hateful rhetoric.”
The bill listed about a-thousand-and-one grievances about alleged anti-Muslim hate crimes, hate speech and bigotry. It then concluded by stating that the House condemns all these alleged actions and that authorities should “work to prevent hate crimes” and “prosecute to the fullest extent of the law those perpetrators of hate crimes.”
Some commentators believe that this bill is a prelude to the government going after anyone who dares criticize Islam.
“This Resolution is using the specter of violence against Muslims to try to quash legitimate research into the motives and goals of those who have vowed to destroy us, which will have the effect of allowing the jihad to advance unimpeded and unopposed,” FrontPage Magazine contributor and Jihad Watch founder Robert Spencer argued in a column published Tuesday.
Given what Attorney General Loretta Lynch said earlier this month when she told a group of Muslims that her department was willing to take “aggressive action” against those whose anti-Muslim rhetoric “edges toward violence,” it sounds like Spencer may have a point.
Already on campuses across the nation students and teachers alike are being maligned and sometimes even kicked out for simply voicing differing, politically incorrect opinions.
Now imagine this happening on a much grander scale, thanks in part to a government and Congress that care more about the feelings of Muslims than they do about freedom, let alone the Constitution.
If you think this cannot really happen, just remember what President Barack Hussein Obama himself said during a speech given in 2012: “The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam.”
Translation: Be quiet or risk going to jail.
