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 $3.5 million.
Local citizens concerned about the speech ban enlisted the aid of a nonprofit legal foundation to contest the prohibition as a violation of the First Amendment. On the next page, learn how free speech advocates are fighting back, and the sordid behind-the-scenes story about the Islamic Society.
looks like New Jersey’s run by a group of crybaby leftist sacred of their own shaddows…all i have to say for em is$#%&!@*em…
Banning words. When does the Fuhrer show up? UnAmerican township.
More liberal insanity!
If they can come up with that kind of money why are they on welfare better yet why can’t they rebuild in there own country.
So, how do you address the topic of Islam or Muslim in New Jersey?
DUMB ASSES
Nothing like nailing in the nails or your own coffin, all in the name of appeasement! muslims love it when governments and individuals restrict themselves just so as not to offend. Liberals and alike will eat their own if it pushes their agenda of lunacy.
If you can’t say Islam or muslim just say goat humper’s and terrorists
Sue his$#%&!@* he’s denying your rights
Sorry, but these idiots cannot overrule the first amendment. I’d love to see these morons try to enforce this laughable but of nonsense. This is a lawsuit waiting to happen, and I hope this city gets bent over when it does happen.
