Muslim Brotherhood: holding the door open with its foot

There is a[n] [currently] unconstitutional bill in Congress HR 569 that addresses freedom of speech against what one thinks about Islam and Muslims. While Congress refuses to label the bill Sharia 569, that is exactly what this bill is prescribing. And while the bill will not pass at this time in America's history, it should send a clear message to the nation about the dangers of the Obama administration courting the Muslim Brotherhood.

The text of HR 569 is as follows--followed by my response:

Condemning violence, bigotry, and hateful rhetoric towards Muslims in the United States.

Whereas the victims of anti-Muslim hate crimes and rhetoric have faced physical, verbal, and emotional abuse because they were Muslim or believed to be Muslim;

[My response: The FBI statics for 2013 shows a significantly higher hate crime rate against Jews (60.3%) than that against Muslims (13.7%) from a total of 1223 victims. That translates to approximately 737 Jews versus  168 Muslims. Why isn't Congress saying anything about anti-Semitism in America?]

Whereas the constitutional rights to freedom of religions practice is a cherished United States value and violence or hate speech towards any United States community based on faith is in contravention of the Nation's founding principals;

[My response: while this is true, no religion is free to oppose the laws of the Constitution that are cherished by the United States. An example of this is clearly seen in the law that forbids multiple wives as was practiced by the Mormons and currently Muslims in Islamic countries. Violence is never accepted, but it is no more a problem for Muslims than it is for other religions, and even a bigger problem for Jews in this country.]

Whereas there are millions of Muslims in the United States, a community made up of many diverse beliefs and cultures, and both immigrants and native-born citizens;

[My response: According to Wikipedia, after all Christians, which comprise about 70% of the population, the next largest religious affiliation in the United States through identification of the religion are the Jews, ranging between 5.3 and 6.6 million (roughly 1.9%), while Islam represents 0.9% of the population. America is made up of people with diverse beliefs and cultures, but it seems that only Islam makes demands on the government that other cultures do not.]

Whereas this Muslim community is recognized as having made innumerable contributions to the cultural and economic fabric and well-being of United States society;

[My response: "Innumerable contributions?" There are no Muslim-American Nobel Prize winners, although that doesn't necessarily matter when people like Al Gore, Yassar Arafat and Barack Obama have won the Nobel Peace Prize. If you compare Nobel prizes between the Jews and Muslims in general, you will see an incredible disparity between 1.4 billion Muslims in the world--2 out of every 10 people versus 12 million Jews--2 out of every thousand people in the world. The economic fabric is another problem when you consider that Sharia law does not allow for interest to be acquired or paid by Muslims--in direct opposition to our capitalist economy that has made the average American far richer than most others in Islamic nations.]

Whereas hateful and intolerant acts against Muslims are contrary to the United States values of acceptance, welcoming, and fellowship with those of all faiths, beliefs, and cultures;

[My response: I have no problem with this except to say that most Americans with eyes and ears that see and hear are sick and tired of Muslims pretending to be the victims, even after we are attacked by jihadists. It's always the feigned fear of retribution Muslims talk about, in spite of the fact that this has never actually occurred in large scale.]

Whereas these acts affect not only the individual victims, but also their families, communities, and the entire group whose faith or beliefs were the motivation for the act; 

[My response: it sounds like HR 569 is speaking to the victims of jihad terror attacks, but they're actually speaking to the practitioners of the religion of peace; a religion whose Koran is 61% political and only 39% religious. You can open the Koran to any page and find at least one angry reference to infidels or "People of the Book," or how Allah is angry about one thing or another.]

Whereas Muslim women who wear hijabs, headscarves, or other religious articles of clothing have been disproportionately targeted because of their religious clothing, articles or observances; and

[My response: according to Islam, Muslim women are seen as inferior to men and legally, are only entitled to half of what a man receives from a parental estate. Also, the more religious the Muslim country, the fewer rights women have, including such restrictions as being forbidden to leave the home without a male chaperon; being forced to wear a burqa or other religious clothing, and being denied child custody over their husband. Men are permitted to have up to 4 wives while women are permitted one husband. The cases in which women in the West have been restricted from wearing hijabs or other so-called religious clothing, is often due to jobs where doing so would present a danger, or a particular form of dress code would forbid any clothing that doesn't comply. CAIR had sued over these issues for years. One case had to do with a woman soccer player who wanted to wear a hijab in the games. It was too dangerous and thus denied, but CAIR didn't care. There are many more examples of these ridiculous demands.]

Whereas 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, and can encourage certain individuals to react in extreme and violent ways;

[My response: I dare the Muslim Brotherhood give honest examples of anti-Muslim violence they speak of--instead, there are literally tens of thousands of examples of Islamic violence since 9-11. If you want to address cultural ignorance about Islam, let's talk about honor killings, jihad and the issue of Koranic abrogation, which basically discounts all the peaceful Suras in favor of the latter ones.]

Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
(1) express its condolences for the victims of anti-Muslim hate crimes  [Me: such as???]

(2) steadfastly confirms its dedication to the rights and dignity of all its citizens of all faiths, beliefs, and cultures; [Me: name any rights we have taken from Muslims. We don't even permit ourselves to monitor what goes on in their mosques where known terrorists have 'worshipped.']

(3) denounces in the strongest terms the increase of hate speech, intimidation, violence, vandalism, arson, and other hate crimes targeted against mosques, Muslims, or those perceived to be Muslim; [Me: the problem with the notion of 'hate speech' is that it is, by definition, a thought crime and insults the Second Amendment. I hate hate speech, but I believe strongly in the Constitution and that the best way to fight 'hate speech' is with 'more speech.' It's beginning to sound like the House of Representatives is becoming increasingly more like a college campus filled with word-sensitive liberals who cannot handle anything they disagree with. Will The House soon request "safe areas" where you cannot debate them?]

(4) recognizes that the United States Muslim community has made countless positive contributions to the United States society; [Me: but CAIR, which is an arm of the Muslim Brotherhood, wants to "destroy" our "miserable house from within."  I'm not implying that Muslims have made no contributions to our society, but to call them countless is a bit of an exaggeration when compared to other groups of Americans. That being said, Muslims who pose no internal threat to the nation, should enjoy all the same rights of any citizen, no more, no less.]

(5) declares that the civil rights and civil liberties of all United States citizens, including Muslims in the United States, should be protected and preserved; [Me: I totally agree. I would, however, wonder how willing CAIR and other Islamic groups, would be to add the words "and Jewish" after the word "Muslim" to HR 569.]

(6) urges local and Federal law enforcement authorities to work to prevent hate crimes; and to prosecute to the fullest extent of the law those perpetrators of hate crimes; and [Me: who defines 'hate crime?' Will the definition of hate crime limit free speech? free thought? It sounds like the House of Representatives is getting its ideas from the proponents of Sharia law, a part of Islam with the goal of becoming the only law that rules the world caliphate.]

(7) reaffirms the inalienable right of every citizen to live without fear and intimidation, and to practice their freedom of faith. [Me: I would add--and to not practice any faith if they so choose. But CAIR, who obviously had a big hand in penning this crap, believes that everyone needs to be faithful to Allah, or at least pay a tax to fund wars fighting in his honor.]

It's unlikely that this will ever pass, but the mere fact that it's even being proposed should make you aware of the foot-in-the-door the Muslim Brotherhood has in our country.

Who would have guessed that it was only a little more than 14 years ago when jihadists came to our soil and killed so many, and then they called it 'the religion of peace?'  

It's called "Taqiyya."
