House of Representatives Votes to Eradicate Blasphemy Against Islam

[AmericanThinker] The House of Representatives has passed a bill that seeks to eradicate blasphemy against Islam. The bill, H.R. 5665, is truly remarkable as it amounts to Congress making a law respecting the establishment of Islam and reducing the United States government into a tool of the world’s ayatollahs.

The blasphemy bill came into existence when it was sponsored by the Somalia-born Congresswoman Ilhan Omar (to be fair to her, she is most likely nothing more than a pawn of the State Department who did what she was told) after the Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan (who sparked off the deadly Islamic riots in multiple countries in 2005 by accusing the US of flushing the Quran down the toilet in Guantanamo Bay) demanded that the US and other western nations pass such a law to protect the medieval-era barbarism perpetrated by Islamic countries from scrutiny and criticism.

The actual text of the bill not only seeks to eradicate blasphemy against Islam around the world — and solely against Islam at that — but even requires the federal government to reorganize some portions of the State Department along the lines of an Islamic religious institution which will be responsible for interpreting the Quran. For example, the text of the bill mandates that "[t]he Secretary of State shall establish within the Department of State an Office" and the "purpose" of the office is described as "[m]onitoring and combating acts of Islamophobia and Islamophobic incitement that occur in foreign countries." That is, the State Department is required to create an office that is a cross between George Orwell’s Big Brother and the Taliban.

The word ’combat’ in the text of the law is problematic but fits in perfectly with the concept of waging violent jihad against the countries deemed to have committed blasphemy against Islam. Almost every dictionary defines the word primarily as an action pertaining to war. While the internet firm Google’s dictionary defines 'combat’ as "fighting between armed forces," Cambridge Dictionary defines the word as "a fight, especially during a war." According to Collins Dictionary, "combat is fighting that takes place in a war." This is no hyperbole as the State Department has a long history of supporting Islamic terrorists such as Osama bin Laden, the Taliban, Al Qaeda, and ISIS. Former Assistant Secretary of State, Robin Raphel, ran her office as though it were an outpost of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan and she lost her security clearance when she was investigated for counterintelligence activities. Little wonder then that Newt Gingrich, the former Speaker of the House, used the term "Rogue State Department" and President Donald Trump described the State Department as the "Deep State Department."

#1 In other words, the law would make Islam the de-facto State Religion of the United States.

#2 It would have to pass in the Senate, CrazyFool. Is something like this in the works there?

#3 Won't pass the senate and wouldn't pass higher-court scrutiny.

And if the fix was in on both it still wouldn't be respected or followed in the red states.

Fuck Islam and its pedophile "prophet".

#5 "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
-- that First Amendment thingie in the Constitution

Notice how the bit about religion comes first, before freedom of speech and assembly? It is the opinion of this citizen that not having a state religion is one of the more important ideas in the whole document. I suspect the Founding Fathers were inspired by the amount of time and energy our European betters spent killing each other in the name of God.

#6 wouldn't pass higher-court scrutiny.

FDR's Japanese concentration camps passed Supreme Court scrutiny...

FDR's Japanese concentration camps passed Supreme Court scrutiny...

And that precedent still stands in effect AFAICT.

#8 The term Islamaphobia really bothers me. A phobia by definition is an IRRATIONAL fear of something. Claustrophobia,germophobia, etc. The person suffering from the phobia is aware that it is irrational, but can't stop it.

With Islam, my fear is quite rational. I have seen what Muslims can do - to anyone not as pious as they deem necessary. This includes other Muslims.

Also, who gets to define "Islamophobia"? If I say, "I am glad I am Catholic and not Muslim", is that Islamophobic? If I say, "Those Muslims blew up a mosque full of other Muslims. They must be crazy", is that Islamophobic?
