Resolution Passed By House That Condemns Hateful Rhetoric Towards Muslims According to recent reports, Democrats in Congress have just quietly sponsored a new resolution that asks lawmakers to condemn violence, bigotry, and hateful rhetoric towards Muslims in the United States. House Resolution 569 specifically mentions Muslims, but neglects to mention any other religious groups. This is just one move of many that seeks to criminalize criticism of Islam by associating it with hate speech and violence. The measure is risky because it limits the free speech of Americans and the right to ask questions. Now, therefore, be it resolved, that the House of Representatives 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; 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, the resolution reads, according to Congress.gov. The resolution comes at an extreme hostile time, when radical Islamists are slaughtering innocent people throughout the world in extreme acts of terrors. Yet, the Obama administration seems more concerned with protecting the rights of Muslims than ensuring the safety of the American people. What do you think of the measure? Is it wrong for Americans to be wary of the Islamic religion?
