Judith Bergman writes in her article:
On April 4, 2017, the US Senate passed Senate Resolution 118, “Condemning hate crime and any other form of racism, religious or ethnic bias, discrimination, incitement to violence, or animus targeting a minority in the United States”. The resolution was drafted by a Muslim organization, (formerly EmergeUSA) and the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC). On April 6, 2017, EmgageUSA wrote the following on their Facebook page:
“Thanks to the hard work of Senator Marco Rubio, Senator Dianne Feinstein, Senator Susan Collins and Senator Kamala Harris we have achieved the approval of Senate Resolution 118, an anti-hate crimes bill drafted by Emerge-USA. It is days like this that Americans are reminded of this country’s founding principles: equal opportunity, freedom, justice. We are proud to help support the protection of these rights #amoreperfectunion #theamericandream”.
“Americans should be concerned about these resolutions, especially the part of the House Resolution, which urges the establishment of an “interagency task force led by the Attorney General … on the development of effective strategies and efforts to detect and deter hate crime in order to protect minority communities.”
“What is a hate crime in this context? The law already prohibits violence and threats of violence, and law enforcement authorities are supposed to prosecute those — intimidation, destruction, damage, vandalism, simple and aggravated assault. What do “strategies and efforts to detect and deter hate crime” entail, and again, what “hate crimes” are not already covered by the law? In other words, why would the House of Representatives find it necessary to make such redundant statements, if not in order to redefine the concept of a hate crime? Perhaps by including “hate speech“?”
“The US has been in a similar situation before. In December 2015, House Resolution H.Res. 569 “Condemning violence, bigotry, and hateful rhetoric towards Muslims in the United States” was introduced. That resolution never went any farther, but it was problematic: it favored Muslims over everyone else. The current resolution includes most of the major ethnic and religious minorities in the United States, so it will have a far better chance of passing, as it will more easily fool Representatives into thinking that the contents of the resolution are harmless.”
“The drafters of Senate Resolution 118 and House Resolution 257, are two Muslim organizations, EmgageUSA (formerly known as EmergeUSA) and the Muslim Public Affairs Council.”
How many of you have heard of this bill and do you know what is going on with it now? How many have heard of EmergeUSA now EmgageUSA and what are their goals?
EmgageUSA is a Muslim lead community organizing group and seems to be as I read there site leaning Democrats, no surprise.
Are the reports we see actually factual?
“Whereas, in 2015, hate crimes targeting Muslims in the United States increased by 67 percent, reaching a level of violence targeting Muslim Americans that the United States had not experienced since the aftermath of the September 11, 2001, attacks, according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation;”
Has it increased? Not according to the National Review!
“The radical left-wing SPLC, whose annual “hate and extremism” report spawned Levin’s sham “center,” brazenly declared that its mission is to “destroy” its political opponents. Harper’s magazine writer Ken Silverstein called the SPLC and its work “essentially a fraud” that “shuts down debate, stifles free speech, and most of all, raises a pile of money, very little of which is used on behalf of poor people.”

So if there is genuinely not an increase of Mulsim attacks, why this bill? The truth is that more Jews are attacked in this country! Then why the lies?
It appears that we are not the threat, as you will see click link below!

We conservatives Christians are the ones who are experiencing hate crimes, try speaking at Berkely or any major university, we all have seen the violence that breaks out. Where is our protection? What is really behind this?
To put a muzzle on the Amercian citizen! You will submit, you will comply, you will not call out what is right in front of you, or you will be labeled a racist, an Islamophobic. You will not notice what they are slipping in, speak against Isalm you offend a Muslim you are arrested. Then comes Sharia Law!
Let me be very clear here this bill excludes Christians! If the people do not educate themselves and take a stand, we will be labeled and hunted down if you dare voice your constitutional right to free speech.
I suggest any who cares to keep their country as our forefathers intended it to be, to start calling, and or writing your legislative leaders and demand this bill be squashed!
You will bow down to the those who are taking over our nation, and you will do it willingly and for most blindly!
