Islamists Might be Having a Hate-crime Legislation Field Day

You’ve read the headlines . . “Two Christians in Australia have been indicted for criticizing Islam, and another for criticizing Zionism”. . . What starts out as legislation concerning crimes of violence and bodily injury will always result in more extreme legislation– crimes of verbal violence. When you control free speech the logical consequence is voluntary thought-control, or political correctness to the extreme.

H.R. 254, The David Ray Hate Crimes Prevention Act of 2007, introduced by Rep. Sheila Jackson-Lee (D-Texas), calls for the establishment of a new federal offense for so-called hate crimes. According to Rev. Ted Pike, of the National Prayer Network, “federal police state enforcement of "anti-hate" laws would, as it has in other parts of the world, "lead inexorably to the end of free speech."

The bill is pending in the House Judiciary Committee, and is a streamlined version of earlier proposals that passed in the U.S. House.

So why would the Anti-Defamation League of B’nai B’rith be pushing this bill and all hate-crime legislation? Can’t they see the forest for the trees??? Simple answer: Most coddled liberals suffer from extreme myopia, historic amnesia, overinvestment in unfounded causes, the never ending addiction to push for more and more legislation, and the total inability to evaluate the negative and unintended consequences of anything they propose. In other words, liberals want what they want when they want it and let the future be damned! Sounds like most typical teenagers, doesn’t it? How’s that old saying go? Oh yea . . .”When I was young I was a liberal but when I became mature and much wiser I became a conservative.”

H.R. 254, The David Ray Hate Crimes Prevention Act of 2007 is a complete fabrication of facts.

Take a look at how it begins . . .

Congress finds that
--the incidence of violence motivated by the actual or perceived race, color, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, gender, or disability of the victim poses a serious national problem;

Does hate crime really pose a serious national problem???

The bill is an attempt to create a new vast Federal bureaucracy with unlimited power to overrule state law enforcement by bringing Federal control over state and local policing. This bill may allow the Feds to even act preemptively to 'prevent' crime." How can this be done? The bill claims that targeted groups are forced to cross state lines to escape the incidence or risk of violence. But where are the statistics?

Oh, here are the stats - hidden away by the leftist thought police. The FBI’s 2005 Uniform Crime Report shows alleged hate crimes comprise a tiny 1/15 of 1% of all crime in America! A whopping 7,163 incidents in all of the United States!!!

Why not read about this “serious national problem” in the FBI’s own web page? Here’s an excerpt:

The UCR Program collects data about both single-bias and multiple-bias
hate crimes. For each offense type reported, law enforcement must indicate one
bias motivation. A single-bias incident occurs when one or more offense types
within the incident are motivated by the same bias. A multiple-bias incident
occurs when more than one offense type occurs in the incident and at least two
offense types are motivated by a different bias.
In 2005, 12,417 law
enforcement agencies submitted hate crime data to the UCR Program. (See Number
of Participating Agencies and Population Covered.)

Of those, 2,037
law enforcement agencies reported the occurrence of 7,163 hate crime
incidents.
The 7,160 single-bias incidents involved 8,373 offenses,
8,795 victims and 6,800 offenders. The 3 multiple-bias incidents reported in
2005 involved 7 offenses, 9 victims, and 4 offenders.

Here are some comments about the bill from WashingtonWatch.com

Earlier this month, Rep. Sheila Jackson-Lee (D-Texas) introduced H.R.
254, which calls for the establishment of a new federal offense for so-called
hate crimes. The bill is similar to hate crimes measures passed by the House in
2005 and the Senate in 2004, which would commission a separate federal criminal
prosecution for state offenses tried under its provisions. If convicted, an
offender could face life in prison. . . .

In Britain, two
political activists were indicted, facing 7 years in prison, for describing
Islam as a “wicked faith.” A filmmaker was threatened with arrest for
using the term “homosexual” rather than “gay.” In Sweden, a pastor faced prison
for reading from the pulpit Scriptures critical of homosexuality. In Holland,
it’s now a “hate crime” to criticize fornicators and adulterers.

In Germany, a Catholic priest faces jail for the “hate crime” of publicly
criticizing abortionists.
In Canada, Australia, and most of Europe, it’s now
a “hate crime” to publicly criticize protected groups including homosexuals,
Muslims, and Jews. Truth is not allowed as evidence in hate crimes trials. All
that matters are the delicate feelings of members of federally protected groups
. . .

Think this can’t happen in America? Think
again. The Anti-Defamation League of B’nai B’rith, architect of “anti-hate” laws
worldwide, will reintroduce its federal hate bill this winter. ADL says the
purpose of the “Hate Crimes Prevention Act” is to end violent physical hate
crimes. That’s just what ADL told lawmakers in Canada, Britain, Sweden, etc.
Soon after ADL’s hate bill was passed, it broadened through legal precedents to
outlaw “verbal violence” against protected groups. Laws passed to end violent
hate crimes soon criminalized free speech. . .

UNCHECKED IMMIGRATION = NATIONAL BALKANIZATION: IS THIS AMERICA’S FUTURE?

OpenTrackback Weekend

Here’s a News-roundup You Will Not Likely Discover in the Mainstream Media

The Marxist Dominated Far Left Admits Pandering to Illegal Aliens
Here’s a hat-tip to Immigration Watchdog who shared this information. The following excerpt is from the Peoples Weekly World (a Communist publication). (Bold emphasis added by me to get your reading attention.)

Time to unite against Bush administration’s anti-immigrant ‘surge’
. . .In total, 186,600 immigrants were deported in 2006, a 12 percent increase over 2005’s 165,000. This is less than 2 percent of the 12 million undocumented, but it has sent a wave of anxiety through working-class immigrant communities.

The motives are obvious:
• Repression is a “logical” response to the massive marches for immigrant rights.
• A crackdown appeases the most racist right-wing elements like Rep. Tom Tancredo (R-Colo.) who have been denouncing Bush as being soft on “illegal immigration,” and encourages the ultra-right base.
• Raids serve to pressure business and others into supporting a guest worker program. Threatened with loss of their cheap labor, companies will be eager to get Congress to replace it with guest workers who can be controlled and exploited “legally.” Meanwhile, the terrorization of immigrants by means of repression is part of a long-term trend to prevent them fighting for better wages and thus helps to amass profits through super-exploitation.
So, by means of stepped up repression, Bush thinks to keep the upper hand on the immigration issue, staving off attacks from left and right and controlling the direction of legislation.

This must be contested. We can not allow the 12 million undocumented immigrants in this country, and their millions of citizen and documented spouses and children (potential future voters), to be used as policy hostages by Bush. . . .

The League of United Latin American Citizens, the Mexican-American Legal Defense and Education Fund, and the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials have united in calling for a moratorium on immigration raids and deportations. At Christmas, the American Friends Service Committee, along with the Labor Council on Latin American Affairs, the National Council of Latin American and Caribbean Communities and others, circulated a sign-on letter demanding such a moratorium, and dozens of national and local organizations added their names.

At the local and regional level, Centro Sin Fronteras and others in Chicago and the Midwest organized a 30,000-strong demonstration demanding a moratorium last July 19, and there have been a number of such protests in communities where raids have taken place. . .

In which country are Muslims being taught the following lessons?

Hat-tip to Crusade Media for this excerpt:

* "Everyone who does not embrace Islam is an unbeliever and must be called an unbeliever. . . . One who does not call the Jews and the Christians unbelievers is himself an unbeliever." *

"Whoever believes that churches are houses of God . . . or that what Jews and Christians do constitutes the worship of God . . . is an infidel."

* To offer greetings to a Christian at Christmas -- even to wish "Happy holidays" -- is "a practice more loathsome to God . . . than imbibing liquor, or murder, or fornication."

* Jews "are worse than donkeys." They are the corrupting force "behind materialism, bestiality, the destruction of the family, and the dissolution of society.

* Muslims who convert to another religion "should be killed because [they] have denied the Koran."

* Democracy is "responsible for all the horrible wars" of the 20th century, and for spreading "ignorance, moral decadence, and drugs."

If this sounds to you like the kind of fanaticism you might encounter in Saudi Arabia -- where the established creed is Wahhabism, an intolerant and extremist version of Islam -- you're right. Unfortunately, this religious hatred isn't confined to the Arabian peninsula. Thanks to the Saudi government's elaborate campaign to export Wahhabism worldwide, such anti-Christian, anti-Semitic, anti-Western poison can also be found throughout the United States.

We know this from the work of Freedom House, a venerable human rights group that promotes democracy around the globe. In a new report, it documents the alarming degree to which Wahhabist propaganda has penetrated American mosques. . . .

It is important to note that most Muslims do not share the xenophobic Wahhabi dogma. Freedom House undertook its study in part because "many Muslims . . . requested our help in exposing Saudi extremism in the hope of freeing their communities from ideological strangulation." Now that Freedom House has done so, it is up to moderate American Muslims to purge their mosques of the Saudi toxin, and to ostracize the extremists in their midst.

Note: The Center for Religious Freedom was a self-sustaining division of Freedom House. Founded in 1941 by Eleanor Roosevelt and Wendell Willkie to oppose Nazism and Communism in Europe.

Freedom House and the Center for Religious Freedom Announce Separation
The Center for Religious Freedom, which for the past ten years has functioned as a part of Freedom House, will move to the Hudson Institute on December 31, 2006. At a meeting of the Freedom House Board of Trustees in New York City on October 26, a formal resolution was adopted clearing the way for the transfer of assets and liabilities.

AMERICANS VOTE “NO CONFIDENCE” ON U.N.
A majority of Americans (57%) now believe the United Nations should be scrapped and replaced if it cannot be reformed and made more effective. That result is from an extensive national benchmark survey about the UN on the 5th anniversary of 9/11, conducted by Luntz Maslansky Strategic Research.

Year of the Dhimmi

Here’s an excerpt:

. . .The mainstream media have by and large already capitulated to Islamic dhimmitude. Most have banned the use of the word "terrorist."

Some even refuse to mention Islam when reporting terrorism-related arrests. When Canadian authorities broke up a terrorist ring earlier this year, the Toronto Star lamented that fact the suspects were, "from all walks of Canadian life, with no apparent connection to one another." . . .

Note: Dhimmi are the subjugated Christians Jews and other non-Muslims living in Muslim lands.

Hate Crimes

FBI’s 2005 statistics: “When it comes to hate crimes involving religion, Jews are the victims nearly 70 percent of the time.”

Unchecked Immigration = National Balkanization
Is this America’s Future?

(Here's a couple of news items from the UK)

Muslims 'should get special health care'
Muslims should be provided with faithbased services - including male circumcision - on the NHS, says one healthcare expert.
Professor Aziz Sheikh is also calling for women patients to see same-sex medics, better access to prayer facilities in hospitals and more information so Muslims can avoid alcohol and pig-derived drugs. . .

Bank to woo Polish immigrants with bilingual branches
Banking giant Lloyds-TSB is to convert a number of branches to offer specialist services for Britain's fast-growing Polish community.

In a UK first, the branches will have signs, brochures and account opening forms in Polish. Dubbed 'international finance superstores', they will offer services both to existing British customers and a wide range of nationalities.
However, the main focus will be to serve the thousands of Polish workers who have jobs in this country over the past two years. . . .

The End of Deterrence
This article originally appeared in the January 11, 2007, Weekly Standard online.
January 11, 2007 by S. Enders Wimbush

If President Bush is persuaded by the Iraq Study Group to speak directly with Iran, he will be under strong pressure to cut a deal that makes Iran a significant partner in salvaging, at least temporarily, the mess in Iraq. For its quid pro quo in aiding America to come up with a face saving exit strategy, Iran will insist on a free hand to develop its "peaceful" nuclear power. One can almost hear the inevitable claims by those seeking to justify the president's giving ground on this issue. A nuclear Iran can be "managed" or deterred, we will hear; moreover, this is a good trade-off for extricating America from Iraq. President Bush should not be taken in. He must reject even the hint of compromise. . . .
