Conyers: Don't Go Dissin' Islam
UPDATE: I erroneously said this would "criminalize" disrespect of Islam, and Paul (always so kind in his criticisms) pointed out my error. However, I still want to know when such a resolution is coming for other religions.
In what might be a warmup to impeachment hearings, John Conyers is sponsoring House Resolution 288, which would, for all intents and purposes, criminalize disrespect of (read: criticism of) Islam. (h/t: LGF)
Read it for yourself:
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives condemning bigotry and religious intolerance, and recognizing that holy books of every religion should be treated with dignity and respect.
Whereas believers of all religions, including the Abrahamic faiths of Christianity, Judaism and Islam, should be treated with respect and dignity;
Whereas the word Islam comes from the Arabic root word meaning “peace” and “submission”;
Whereas there are an estimated 7,000,000 Muslims in America, from a wide variety of ethnic backgrounds, forming an integral part of the social fabric of America;
Whereas the Quran is the holy book for Muslims who recite passages from it in prayer and learn valuable lessons about peace, humanity and spirituality;
Whereas it should never be official policy of the United States Government to disparage the Quran, Islam, or any religion in any way, shape, or form;
Whereas mistreatment of prisoners and disrespect toward the holy book of any religion is unacceptable and against civilized humanity;
Whereas the infringement of an individual’s right to freedom of religion violates the Constitution and laws of the United States: Now, therefore, be it
1 Resolved, That the House of Representatives–
(1) condemns bigotry, acts of violence, and intolerance against any religious group, including our friends, neighbors, and citizens of the Islamic faith;
(2) declares that the civil rights and civil liberties of all individuals, including those of the Islamic faith, should be protected;
(3) recognizes that the Quran, the holy book of Islam, as any other holy book of any religion, should be treated with dignity and respect; and
(4) calls upon local, State, and Federal authorities to work to prevent bias-motivated crimes and acts against all individuals, including those of the Islamic faith.
Notice that Conyers went with an "estimated 7,000,000 Muslims in America." That number is hotly debated, but giving the higher number gives the bill more credence.
Of course, he didn't mention the intolerance displayed by those Muslims who believe in restoring Shari'a law toward women, homosexuals, and non-Muslims in general (you know, us infidels).
Be sure to click on the first link above to read some of the groan-inducing comments left by Conyers' sycophants.
I'm waiting for a law that forbids the disrespect of Judaism and Christianity:
