Rep Conyers Proposes anti-Blasphemy Resolution
Resolved,
That the House of Representatives
(1) condemns bigotry, acts of violence, and intolerance against any religious group, including our friends, neighbors, and citizens of the Islamic faith;
(2) declares that the civil rights and civil liberties of all individuals, including those of the Islamic faith, should be protected;
(3) recognizes that the Quran, the holy book of Islam, as any other holy book of any religion, should be treated with dignity and respect; and
(4) calls upon local, State, and Federal authorities to work to prevent bias-motivated crimes and acts against all individuals, including those of the Islamic faith. I suppose he'll propose outlawing extra-soft, scented, two-ply Korans with a light touch of aloe moisturizer for our sacred book readings, next.
