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.
Stupid is in charge of their own downfall.
Figures…..the locals have a problem with Islamic Muslims building a mosque , so they are not allowed to call them iksamuc Muslims. That’s one of the stupidest things I have ever heard.
WTF
That a way to handle a problem, bury your collective heads in the sand. Of course by doing so you expose yourselves as the asses you are!
A simple “fookin’ muzzie” will suffice.
Tell that town council to F off.
B******t, this is not American period. Time to take our country back from these scum!
Well now, aren’t you some kind of SPECIAL STUPID??!!!
Both coasts have gone crazy!
This is beyond insane, this Federal Judge should be removed for this ludicrous decision. Another town caving to these savages, they haven’t learned a thing from the situation in Scandinavia and Europe so don’t expect different results…
