Miss Puerto Rico Suspended from Miss America Pageant After Muslim-Slamming on Twitter

Re: Miss Puerto Rico Suspended from Miss America Pageant After Muslim-Slamming on Twi

Really? So what is the purpose of this Bill?

If you actually read it (assuming you can) there's nothing in it that proposes any actual law, it's a condemnation and nothing more and it re-affirms American Values in Freedom of Religion and affirming that a hate crime carried out such as Arson should be prosecuted to the fullest extent where possible.

I know it bothers you that people can't go around burning Mosques as an expression of Free Speech but I'm afraid that will get folks in trouble with the law.

Of course people like yourself read it like it will bar you from expressing your bigoted fascist beliefs... but I assure you, you are quite safe to continue with your nonsense.

So why is this included in the Bill?

"(6) urges local and Federal law enforcement authorities to work to prevent hate crimes; and to prosecute to the fullest extent of the law those perpetrators of hate crimes"

You are a great example of the previously mentioned Dunning Kruger effect.

Um... It says "urges" because Hate Crimes such as arson against mosques are already against the law and are specially classed as such...

This resolution is not a law and proposes nothing new other than affirmation of American values.

It says a great deal more than "Arson against mosques" and begs the question of why other religions are not mentioned.

Despite the federal government 'urging' government forces "to prosecute to the fullest extent of the law those perpetrators of hate crimes" you feel nothing will come of this?

Of course the OIC has lobbied these politicians, and others in every democracy, as well as the UN, in order to make criticism of Islam illegal. You're okay with this?

Well you can continue to wallow in ignorance, fear and your **** filled pants at the thought of the leftists and muslims coming after you.

And I won't.
 
Re: Miss Puerto Rico Suspended from Miss America Pageant After Muslim-Slamming on Twi

I'm not going to make this about right or wrong of what she said, or even right or wrong of this degree of censorship. I will simply point out that anyone in the public eye, who are expected to uphold certain standards, should realize they are expected not to be controversial.

Haha, who's expectation is that? Elvis Presley was controversial, Marilyn Manson was controversial, Jesse Ventura was controversial. These are people who made they're careers from being controversial.

Yes, being a beauty pageant contestant is much more important than being Governor of Minnesota.
 
Re: Miss Puerto Rico Suspended from Miss America Pageant After Muslim-Slamming on Twi

I wonder what Muslim beauty pageants are like considering the women are forced to wear a body bag with a slit cut out for the eyes.

Actually, I have found past photos of Iran women in I think Miss Universe pageants. Iran started to become a western culture, until The Shah was overthrown and replaced by those who were more fundamental.
 
Re: Miss Puerto Rico Suspended from Miss America Pageant After Muslim-Slamming on Twi

Ah...

Here we go. It was the miss World pageant. Iran has contestants from 1965 to 1978. This all stopped when the Shah of Iran was ousted. In recent years, there is a miss Iran again, starting in 2013.

Miss Iran 2014 converted to Hinduism. I'm not sure if she had to flee for her life from Iran. Are you familiar with the story?

Where do you come up with this tripe, or do you make it up?

I searched her name, and I found another woman who converted with the same name, but it isn't her.

"being critical" does not fit the definition of "hate crime." Hope your confusion has been cleared.

Any more backpeddling or goalpost moving to do?

This law goes well beyond 'being critical'. It says it "6) urges local and Federal law enforcement authorities to work to prevent hate crimes; and to prosecute to the fullest extent of the law those perpetrators of hate crimes". That opens the door to 'being critical', yes, as there is no distinct and agreed upon resolution as to what constitutes a 'hate crime'. Many on these boards have been accused of 'hate', usually by dimwitted leftists, and could therefore be charged if these same people ever achieve any judicial or political power.
