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 $3.5 million.
Local citizens concerned about the speech ban enlisted the aid of a nonprofit legal foundation to contest the prohibition as a violation of the First Amendment. On the next page, learn how free speech advocates are fighting back, and the sordid behind-the-scenes story about the Islamic Society.
1st ammendment.
How dumb!
Banning free speech will not be allowed, it’s a violation of the constitution to do so. And why not say Islam or Muslim, you say$#%&!@*in public hearings and to me, that’s worse than calling a spade a spade or Muslim a Muslim.
Why?? Are those bad words now??
Time for a conservative to take their asses to court!!
Stupid is as stupid does!
Treason
pussies
Cool with that
That is pure BS. Damn muslims forcing their ideology on us and when we refuse to accept we either get sued or murdered.
