Federal law makes speech directly or imminently likely to produce violence become sedition (18 USC Chapter 115, Treason, Sedition, and Subversive Activities, §2384). Likewise, providing material support or resources to enemies of the U.S. is sedition (§2339). So, when does free speech for the terrorist enemy Hamas become sedition? And, when does free speech for Sharia Law in the U.S. become sedition?
Let the courts decide, right? No, not good enough. A clear and present danger to the Constitution and our Republic can’t be left to the whims of wannabe black-robed priest-kings.
The Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798 were an exercise in overreach by the Federalists in the early years of the U.S. Three of the Acts expired or were repealed, but the Alien Enemies Act remains in effect. It should apply to a member of Hamas, but not to a simple supporter.
The threat of Communism was certain enough to pass the McCarran Act on Internal Security over the veto of President Truman in 1950. Over time the law was overturned by Courts and repealed by Congress.
The Communist Control Act of 1954 was signed into law by President Eisenhower on August 24, 1954. This act outlawed the Communist Party of the United States and made membership in, or support for, the party or “Communist-action” organizations illegal. It has not been enforced, repealed, or over-turned specifically.
Enter Islamist Totalitarianism as an existential enemy of Western Civilization and American Civilization, as well as the antithesis of our U.S. Constitution. When Al Queda attacked on 9-11 it was only one of 60 recognized Islamist terrorist organizations.
In 2000 there 1.1m Muslims according to the US Census. In less than 25 years between another 1.8 to 2.5 Muslims have immigrated to the U.S. The range of numbers indicates the weakness of watchfulness to capture the data accurately. Importing Muslims is deliberate. The Democrats expect their votes and all the illegal aliens (including more Muslims) to create permanent one party rule.
Last week Vice-President Vance said Europe was “engaging in civilizational suicide” by allowing immigrants from “countries that are totally culturally incompatible.” He didn’t name names – yet. But we can name them as the Muslim immigrants from Islamic countries.
Islamist Totalitarianism, like Communist Totalitarianism and National Socialist Totalitarianism, is an existential threat to the U.S. Actually, because Islam is 800 years behind Western Civilization it is a greater threat in its barbarism and savagery. Witness Hamas and all of Gaza’s October 7th massacre, rapine, and kidnapping.
The challenge in writing an equivalent to the 1954 Act criminalizing the Communists comes when Muslims hide behind our 1st Amendment Freedom of Religion.
This real rub is how Muslims use Western religious tolerance to gain equal legal standing with Christianity and Judaism.
Then, they demand special privileges – halal food while banning pork products, no church bells yet Muslim calls to prayer, barbaric costumes for women while criticizing Western women, no dogs, prayers blocking public highways while banning street preachers, and then demands to not allow criticism of Islam, the Koran, Mohammed, etc. See Europe and Canada as well as Jihad-compatible cities in the U.S. – in Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Northern Virginia, and Texas.
Any and all resistance is ridiculed, de-platformed, and utterly discredited by merely calling critics “racists” or “Islamophobes.” Western political leaders need to be made of sterner stuff soon. Start mocking criticism from Muslims and their useful fool allies.
Eventually, Muslims will demand their own Sharia courts for family law. Their aim is to supplant Western secular law with barbaric Sharia Law.
Some sane states have outlawed any Sharia Law.
The needle to thread is how to make support for Sharia Law an act of sedition and not an exercise in free speech.
Because – read this carefully – anyone who advocates for Sharia Law in the U.S. is a domestic enemy of the U.S. Constitution. Simply being in favor, liking, supporting, or suggesting Sharia Law in any manifestation makes a person an enemy of the Constitution.
In the UK recently, a Muslim Member of Parliament proposed a law making criticism of religion illegal. That was only going to work one way in “dhimmi” UK. It was enforcing the ban in the Koran and Hadith against criticizing Mohammed. It was slipping Sharia Law into Western Civilization’s once great leader for the Rule of Law.
What are the right words, the precise legal terms, to make speech on behalf of Sharia Law in the U.S. – criminal sedition?
