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 $3.5 million.
Local citizens concerned about the speech ban enlisted the aid of a nonprofit legal foundation to contest the prohibition as a violation of the First Amendment. On the next page, learn how free speech advocates are fighting back, and the sordid behind-the-scenes story about the Islamic Society.
Just because you deny it doesn’t make it go away
Well if they can’t use the terms in court, then their excuses work work either. If you can’t say they are Muslim, then they can’t say well I’m a Muslim and it’s our religion
Starts with denial and will end up like the halocaust
Lol
How about just calling them children of the devil
Ridiculous
Well what do you call the POS
So I guess they would be upset by,$#%&!@*$#%&!@* goat humper, pedophile, barbarian, murderer. There are a few more nut they would be in very poor taste on line
how can a town bans the use of a word…they can not most laws that towns pass is against the constitution and if challenged in court would not stand up…ISIS is Islam and Islam is ISIS and anyone saying otherwise is a liar…muslims countries call them murders and terrorist…NJ will wake up soon enought…
So how do they describe them? Stupid people………….MPA
