In the latest and most outrageous assault on freedom of speech in the United States, a Federal judge has approved a New Jersey township’s prohibition on citizens using the terms “Islam” and “Muslims” in a public hearing on a recent settlement agreement.
The agreement relates to a dispute between Bernards Township and the Islamic Society of Basking Ridge (ISBR) over the township’s denial of approval for construction of a large mosque on a parcel of land deemed too small to support the structure.
The ISBR sued the township for discrimination in March 2016. The suit was joined in November 2016 by the U.S. Department of Justice. As a result, the township decided to settle both lawsuits for $3.5 million.
Local citizens concerned about the speech ban enlisted the aid of a nonprofit legal foundation to contest the prohibition as a violation of the First Amendment. On the next page, learn how free speech advocates are fighting back, and the sordid behind-the-scenes story about the Islamic Society.
Shut Uupppppp Stupid People! 1st admendment!
Isn’t this violation of free speech. Seems like these muslim scumbags are paying off a lot of local politicians lately.
Jerry Braswell, we have too many bleeding heart liberals who think the good ole USA must take care of anyone who says they need help. They don’t open their eyes and see the real danger to our country.
Well, they still have the term” terrorist ” to refer to them.
FREEDOM OF SPEECH BABY……….They do not have the right to ban the terms by the public…………MPA
So muslims take over and our constitutional amendment for free speech and religious freedon are no more thanks to a very small minority of un-americans.
But I’m going to guess they can still use Christian, Christianity, Jewish, Jew, Judaism, Hindu, Hinduism, etc.?
A d make sure your not allowed to say white racist, Christians deploreable, or evangelical.
Know your enemy
What happened to freedom of speech?
