Dem’s H.Res 569 Furthers Clinton-OIC Cause to Criminalize Criticism of Islam in U.S.
Posted on December 26, 2015 by creeping
Hillary Clinton has been working with the Organization of Islamic Countries (prior to name change) for years to institute a worldwide Islamic blasphemy law.

On December 17, 2015, leading Democrat members of the House introduced House Resolution 569 that effectively completes the effort of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation’s plan to criminalize criticism of Islam embodied in UN Human Rights Council 16/18“combating [religious] intolerance, negative stereotyping and stigmatization.” passed in March 2011. UNHRC Res. 16/18 is modeled on extremist Pakistani Blasphemy Laws used to prosecute imperiled minority Christians for alleged desecration of the Qur’anic canon and Sharia Law. It is not lost on this writer that Democratic Presidential front runner, Hillary Clinton facilitated the efforts of the OIC to further UNHRC Res. 16/18 in the July 2011 Istanbul Process and the hearings held at US State Department in December 2011 at which representatives of OIC member Muslim states and representatives of the US Justice Department met under the guise of Islamophobia to further the Saudi –sponsored agenda of silencing criticism of Islam or any religion, a right guaranteed in our First Amendment.
Janet Levy in an email noted:
In accordance with the 10 year plan of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) to implement U.N. Resolution 16/18 and criminalize all criticism of Islam worldwide, the House has issued H. Res. 569 in condemnation of violence, bigotry and “hateful rhetoric” toward Muslims in the U.S.
This bill comes on the heels of Attorney General Loretta Lynch’s post-San Bernardino attack promise to the Muslim American community to prosecute anyone guilty of anti-Muslim speech. (Note: The attack occurred on December 2nd. In an unparalleled display of respect and sympathy for the victims and their families, Ms. Lynch’s pronouncement was made on December 3rd, before the bodies were even laid to rest).
Passage of this legislation will be the death knell for the First Amendment and the end of any and all discourse and education about the threat posed by the global jihad.
For a cogent analysis of this misguided and dangerous House resolution sponsored by minority Democrats read “A Congressional Prelude to Censorship”, posted by Edward Cline at the Center for the Advancement of capitalism blog, Rule of Reason.
Below are the sponsors and text of H. Res. 569. Among the sponsors are Democrat National Committee Chairwoman, Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, members of the Latino and Black Congressional Caucuses and the two elected Muslim US Representatives, Keith Ellison (D-MN) and Andre Carson (D-IN).

In [the December 13, 2011] NRO, Shea [Nina Shea, of the Hudson Institute Center for Religious Freedom] addressed why this Conference in Foggy Bottom [was] such a bad idea in her post, D.C. Islamophobia Conference Was a Bad Idea.
Yesterday marked the opening of the international conference announced by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton at a high-level meeting on Islamophobia that she co-chaired, held last July in Istanbul and hosted by the Saudi-based Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC). At the time, Secretary Clinton described this week’s conference as a move to implement U.N. Human Rights Council Resolution 16/18 on “combating [religious] intolerance, negative stereotyping and stigmatization.”
This State Department conference, entitled “The Istanbul Process,” is proving to be a very bad idea. It remains to be seen whether speech limitations to protect religion generally and Islam specifically will be officially endorsed by the conference — similar recommendations have already been adopted by the OIC and by the EU conference participants — but, judging from the opening session, at least some of my misgivings seem well founded.

The three-day conference was closed to the public, but I was invited to its opening session (as well as to the closing session to be held on Wednesday) by virtue of my being a commissioner on the official but independent U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom. “Chatham House Rules,” which State directed us to abide by, forbid releasing anything about a specific delegation or quoting for attribution.
To speak more generally, then: legal and security officials of a delegation which will remain unnamed gave a sweeping overview of American founding principles on religious freedom and how they have been breached time and again in American history by attacks against a broad variety of religious minority groups — including now against Muslims. A raft of current cases was mentioned; America’s relative exemplary and distinctive achievement in upholding religious freedom in an emphatically pluralistic society was not. That same speaker reassured the audience, which was packed with diplomats from around the world, that the Obama administration is working diligently to prosecute American Islamophobes and is transforming the U.S. Justice Department into the conscience of the nation, though it could no doubt learn a thing or two from the assembled delegates on other ways to stop persistent religious intolerance in America.
Across the room, smirking delegates from some of the world’s most repressive and intolerant regimes could be spotted, furiously taking notes.
The Saudi Justice Minister was recently in the U.S. but unfortunately departed before the conference opened and won’t be making any presentation on how the Saudis stop religious intolerance. Nor will his delegation be making any apologetic mention of the Saudi ban on churches, its repression of its large indigenous Shiite population, its textbooks teaching that Jews should be killed, or its beheading yesterday of a woman for sorcery, in addition to another recent beheading of a Sudanese man for the same crime.
Meanwhile, at U.N. headquarters in New York, a new resolution following on 16/18 has been introduced by the OIC and will soon be voted on by the General Assembly, where it will no doubt passed with U.S. approval. It singles out for praise regarding the promotion of religious tolerance one state — Saudi Arabia.
