Obama Considering Measure To Ban Criticism Of Islam

Obama Considering Measure To Ban Criticism Of Islam

Obama is considering a UN resolution that criminalizes speech Muslims consider blasphemous. Filed by Jessa Crane January 24th, 2015

If the Obama Administration has its way, the 1st Amendment will be subject to review by the United Nations.

The UN is pushing member nations to adopt something they call UN resolution 16/18. This is a resolution- proposed by the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, which is made up of 56 Islamic states- which would criminalize "hate speech" targeting Muslims.

This wholly un-Constitutional proposal was first floated in the aftermath of 9/11 amid fears that American Muslims would be unfairly targeted for abuse. The Bush Administration rightly rejected it. As Forbes notes,

Previous versions of the Resolution, which sought to criminalize blasphemous speech and the “defamation of religion,” were regularly rejected by the American delegation and by the US State Department, which insisted that limitations on speech – even speech deemed to be racist or blasphemous – were at odds with the Constitution. But this latest version, which includes the “incitement to imminent violence” phrase – that is, which criminalizes speech which incites violence against others on the basis of religion, race, or national origin – has succeeded in winning US approval –despite the fact that it (indirectly) places limitations as well on speech considered “blasphemous.”

Lovely. 56 Islamic nations have drafted a proposal that would make blasphemous speech (as defined by Muslims) illegal, and the American President supports this notion.

Let's note the Left's hypocrisy on this, since they would never dream of trying to criminalize speech that Christians or Jews might deem blasphemous. If any other President supported such a measure, we would all assume he'd been drugged and brainwashed. With Obama, it's par for the course.

Islam is an Occult (satanic) Religion. It is based on a series of false religions that were native to the area it rose up in. remember your Old Testament and the discussions of the worship of pagan idols. remember some of the stories of the pagan rituals . Look at Islam today - everyone is required to make a Pilgrimage to the Mecca. Basically to through rocks at a Black Rock to cast out Satan. How can the casting out of Satan be done in worshipping Satan. The jews whom helped develop Islam told aspects of occult that Mohammed adopted.

Keep in Mind Islam has a belief that the 12th Imam is to show up - He has not show up yet and he is late so Islamic leaders will strive to place laws and decrees in place that will make for criticism to be a crime. The truth is being revealed that Islam is based on lies and more lies. Obama is only responding for his masters from Iran, Valerie Jarret the puppet master. If Obama fails to have the UN achieve the mandate - Obama will be assassinated by a Muslim from within the WH.

Nonsense.

The "United Nations" has no authority over the US Constitution.

How will this edict be enforced? Will they send in a blue-helmeted swat team?

They are certainly free to try.

His branch is only 1/3 of this government.

Have you taken a good hard critical look at what the other 2/3 of this govt has been doing lately? It scares the crap out of me.

WTF?! That's what I thought right away when I read the headline, that this was a SATIRE. It had to be. But the more I read, the more I realized I was floating in some alternative universe from the one I have lived in for almost 70 years. Our own president is supporting a measure like this at the UN? Really? REALLY? Can this OMuslim character get any more obvious or blatant in his anti-American, pro-Muslim actions?

There are enough anti-American, anti-Israel, anti-imperialist, anti-colonialist bastards in the UN, not to mention the ones also in this administration, to pass some crap like this. But we don't have to be a part of it. Is this something the Senate would have to sign off on or ratify, if OIsamo or Frenchie Kerry or Susan "Benghazi Lies" Rice jumped on board with this proposal? It definitely is unconstitutional in the US.

Maybe I'll wake up soon back in the America where I was born and raised in because the one I'm living in now in this nightmare doesn't even closely resemble it.

As a Christian I consider the words “Mohammed, Islam and Alu Akbar” offensive. What are they going to do when someone files a lawsuit against a muslim for offensive speak.

If this thing passes and the people don’t rise up, that’s the end. I’ve said this so many times over the past 6 years.

Let’s see, it should be a crime to insult Islam because many Muslims are apt to rape, kill, behead, enslave, kidnap, bomb, etc., etc.

And this doesn’t demean Islam?

I believe lots of people who voted for him who didn’t believe he was a muslim have changed their views. However, it’s very hard for most people to admit they were fooled.

What’s next? OPieHole proposing a bill to outlaw criticism of himself? Don’t laugh. You know you wouldn’t put it past him to suggest that. He has an inflated view of his own self-importance.

Separation of Church and State.

How does the government decide what is blasphemous and relevant to the rest of society.

I’m going to post a picture in my next post. I think it is hilarious and illustrates one of the many jokes, including this one, that I heard growing up.

My Aunt would think it blasphemous, My Mom would giggle and say “Not good”, My brothers, sisters and friends think it’s funny.

But, let’s see how many get up in arms over Yahweh humor and how many think God doesn’t have a sense of humor.

He made me and that’s pretty right there....
