FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
Refuses to rule out Shariah-style law in the United States

In refusing to rule out a future law that would criminalize criticism of religion as racist hate speech, the Department of Justice has left the door open to the prospect of Shariah-style law in the United States that would forbid criticism of Islam.
During a House Judiciary Committee Subcommittee on the Constitution, Rep. Trent Franks (R-Ariz) questioned Assistant Attorney General Tom Perez on whether the Justice Department would ever consider banning free speech critical of religion.
“Will you tell us here today simply that this Administration’s Department of Justice will never entertain or advance a proposal that criminalizes speech against any religion?” asked Franks.
Perez replied by asking for context before Franks repeated the question, adding, “That’s not a hard question.”
Perez then tried to add the context of “when you make threats against someone,” but Franks stuck to his original question and repeated it for a third time.

“Again sir, if you have a proposal that you are considering, we will actively review that proposal,” responded Perez.
“OK, here’s my proposal. I’m asking you to answer a question, that’s my proposal. I’m proposing you answer this question,” said Franks, before repeating the question for a fourth time.
Perez again refused to answer the question, asking for more context.
When a member of the subcommittee offered to “rephrase” the question for Franks, he responded, “I’m asking my own questions, I’ll certainly allow you to ask yours.”
“If the Department of Justice can’t even answer whether they will entertain or advance a proposal that criminalizes speech against any religion, then it’s pretty late in the day,” concluded Franks.
Perez’ evasive response clearly indicates that the Department of Justice under the Obama administration would consider a law that would override the First Amendment and classify criticism of religion as racist hate speech.
The mere fact that Perez refused to rule it out is shocking.
As the New American reports, in October 2011, “Perez and other officials from the Justice Department attended a meeting at George Washington University where a an Egyptian-American lawyer suggested criminalizing speech against Islam.”
Muslim scholars argue that under the terms of the Koran, insulting the Prophet Muhammad is a sin punishable by execution.
Innumerable people around the world have been murdered for the “blasphemy” of criticizing Islam, including a Dutch filmmaker who was slain in Amsterdam after he released a documentary criticizing the treatment of women under Islam. Last year, two Pakistani ministers were killed by the Taliban for opposing a law that prescribed the death penalty for those criticizing Islam.
Concerns that a limited form of Shariah law could be implemented in the United States on the back of an increasing immigrant population have heightened in recent years.
Back in May, Republican Kansas Governor Sam Brownback signed a bill that banned “state courts and agencies from using Islamic or other non-U.S. laws when making decisions.” Around 20 other states have considered similar legislation.
A June 2011 Center for Security Policy report found that “Shariah law has entered into state court decisions, in conflict with the Constitution and state public policy.”
In 2010, a law approved by Oklahoma voters that would have barred state judges from considering Shariah law in making decisions was struck down by federal courts on the basis that it was “discriminatory”.
In countries with high Muslim immigrant populations like the United Kingdom, the use of so-called Shariah councils to settle legal disputes is growing. Indeed, Shariah law has been operating parallel to the British legal system for civil cases since 1982, prompting calls for it to be banned.

Jesus, f*cking Christ would be OK, because Joe Ratzinger is an insult to all Protestant Christians practising their faith the day AFTER the Sabbath. Catholic Boy Scouts wear knickers and Troop Leaders snicker in the dark.
G*d dam it, said the beaver. Happy Heathens say stop fracking with Mother Nature. The wind cries Marry,
and LGBT hear it. Authorities fear losing it- power.

Paul Joseph Watson is conflating criminal acts by Muslims with a just concern by the law over religious bigotry.
Internal theological debate in Islam has no bearing on external interests with an agenda as long as no law is broken.
Critisism of the Prophet Mohammed is forbidden because it is a fundamental tenet of the faith no to criticise figures important to the religion. This is what religions do and the condemnation is 99.9% of the time not carried out. Enemies of Islam exploit half baked stories.

Look at Maslo Sweden,the U.K.,France,Spain,Germany all having problems with these savages. I won’t even talk about Afreaka. The koran is an evil violent book. Once MO moved to Medina the violence started and has never stopped!! Chapter the 9 the verse of the sword. The only chapter that starts without In the name of Allah the compasinate and merciful. Says kill the people of the book where ever you find them!!!

We have the right to criticize,,,ANYTHING!!!

But, please if you don’t agree keep your criticism to yourself,,, I might get my poor little pathetic feelings hurt.
How does that go? The truth hurts, don’t it? Well, that being the case, I am sure that criticism is a good thing. If there is no truth in it,,, it doesn’t hurt. If there is truth in it and it hurts, maybe a person has a reason to hear the criticism.
OUT OF CONTROL GOVERNMENT HAS TO BE REIGNED IN !
shariah law has no place in the american courtroom , just because we have alot of muslim immigrants is no reason to throw out the first amendment .

I hope you like the feel of rope, Huggles.
I’m starting to wonder if PP isn’t another government enterprise designed to keep us fighting amongst ourselves. Why does pin-head Watson state specifically that criticism of “Islam” could be criminalized? Is this an attempt to flame hatred of muslims?? Watson is a smelly piece of shit. The “future law” is a bullshit….bullshit because it would restrict free speech, not because it would restrict us from criticizing “them damn mozzies”.
Assistant Attorney General Tom Perez is an evasive little weasel,
who oughtta be thrown outta DC on his azz so hard he chokes on his bootyplug.
is it gonna be a crime to say Joseph Smith and Brigham Young were scam artists?
howabout Jesus, Ghandi, and “obammy’s mammy”, while I’m at it?
Hey, Sharia might not be so bad, if we are also allowed to cut off the heads of politicians and those moronic unelected officials, who prove to be charlatans and who make bad decisions.
Our government is fighting for its life…… WHY ??????
That elements in our government believe they need curtail our rights under the Constitution just proves that they are scared as hell about our opinions.
THIS IS NAZI GERMANY, LEADING UP TO WWII. You Americans had better know your history, or YOU WILL BE DOOMED TO REPEAT IT !!!

no, they will be just doomed!
I’ve got no problem with “criticizing” any religious group and I’d also be cautious about introducing a new law that was limited to “defamation” of a religion. The two are very different things but making laws about either is a slippery slope that at the very least would land a lot of people in jail.
As to the regular complaints about sharia courts, this is just a smokescreen. Nobody complains when the member of a golf club is excluded from the “19th hole” due to some infraction so I fail to see how any internal sharia decision suddenly becomes an incursion into state law.
The catholic church regularly ignores state-recognized divorce papers, it doesn’t mean that the state has to recognize the catholic court’s rulings.
I’d be more concerned about the United States’ previous inclination toward sharia, demonstrated by attempted Prohibition, the War on Drugs and the lack of casinos outside of Nevada or Indian reservations.
This is either a random coincidence (well, duh!) or a demonstration that it isn’t a new thing, and that the US was founded on Islamic values and you should accept your new Arabic overlords (I didn’t want to point out the sarcasm here but I’ve seen enough misunderstood replies in my time…)
hmm….reminds me. Anybody got a used koran or two? I live in the county and can burn my trash to my hearts content. koran pages make excellant fire starters! I need to check my calendar for draw that child molester muhammed day. I usually doodle that pervert.

the mind control concept of God no matter the religions is the element that most people ignore.
Once you own the minds of the sheeple, then they are your slaves divided by beliefs that differ in so many ways.
NOt that God isn’t a good idea to trying and unite the sheeple under one world religion but the sheeple are not ready for that? they have that urge to fight and kill still?
pointing at tirants they themselves empower by there blinded naive faith?
ya shure God will save us???? not shure he would do that seeing the level of evil within so many people?

“If the Department of Justice can’t even answer whether they will entertain or advance a proposal that criminalizes speech against any religion, then it’s pretty late in the day,” concluded Franks.
Perez might have answered if the question had been criminalizing speech against islam, but the religion in question is not islam, we don’t have a large population of muslims to appease in our country, what we have is 7 million j people. duh. What we’ll see if anything is criminalization of holocaust revisionism or criticism of a j religon.
I like how the question asked was about religion and sure enough, Paul (like most Americans) flips it to act like it would JUST be for Islam. The Islamphobia that goes on in that country is pathetic.
Organized religion is one of the most idiotic things the humanoids have ever invented so I fully expect there to be a law in the future making it illegal to criticize it. Freedumb.
Talk bad about ISLAM? = DEATH
They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death.
“In just a little while,
he who is coming will come
and will not delay.”
“But my righteous one will live by faith.
And I take no pleasure
in the one who shrinks back.”
But we do not belong to those who shrink back and are destroyed, but to those who have faith and are saved.

Three words! FREEDOM OF SPEACH! what more do i have to say. Is it illegal for them to ciriticize America ? please give it up we have lost most of our rights as Americans what more do you want to take! Keep it up and there will be probalems some of us actually believe in our rights to freedom and liberty and justice keep pushing it and there will be a big backlash!
This is AMERICA we as Ctizens have rights if you keep taking them we will reach a point where theres no turning back and it will get ugly! We were born Americans wer were Rasied as Americans we think as Americans dont expcet otherwise from us. We will if requuired fight and give our lives to live as Americans like our forefathers did! I see a great divide opening up in our nation those of us who are and believe as Americans and those who want to live off the government dole or even i shudder to think live as Socialists! Those who will neve aspire to be more never open a business never work hard and long to accomplish anything they who are content to sit home and take whatever meager spoils the Government has left to hand out after they spend the rest trying to conquer the world! for what so we can continue to support the rest of these lazy slackers countrys becoem great by over coming adversity they will never become great if we support them from cradle to grave. Some countries wont ever reach their potential thats the way the world is one has to invest some time and hard work to advance if they arent willing the will remain third world nations and im good with it but its unacceptable to me that our Nation lower its self to the level of other nations! We are Americans we should behave as Americans and set an Example for the world not try and lift them to our level of economically assist them in getting to our level. the message needs to be we got there you can too now get to work!
