Virginia: Muslim state senator introduces bill to classify ‘Islamophobia’ as assault
“The bill would amend Virginia’s existing assault statute to recognize Islamophobia as ‘malicious prejudice or hatred directed toward Islam.'”
Yet ever since 9/11 and before then as well, the Islamic machine in the United States — the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and other Muslim Brotherhood groups — have insisted that opposition to violence committed in the name of Islam and in accord with its teachings, and to Sharia oppression of women and others, constituted “malicious prejudice or hatred directed toward Islam.” This has become the mainstream view; leftists, and many patriots as well, still take it for granted as axiomatically true, and unsavory groups such as the Southern Poverty Law Center and the ADL spent millions to make these smears mainstream.
Now Virginia is going to codify them into law, adopting what is essentially a blasphemy law that will forbid criticism of Islam. The job is very nearly complete.
Virginia Muslim Dem moves to codify ‘Islamophobia’ into state law despite free speech objections
by Avery Hill, Post Millennial, July 16, 2026:
Virginia State Sen. Saddam Azlan Salim (D-Fairfax) has introduced Senate Bill 624, legislation that would define “Islamophobia” within Virginia’s assault laws and require law enforcement to track crimes allegedly motivated by anti-Islam bias. The bill would amend Virginia’s existing assault statute to recognize Islamophobia as “malicious prejudice or hatred directed toward Islam.”
The legislation would also direct the Virginia State Police, with directions from the Office of the Attorney General and the Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, to incorporate the definition of Islamophobia into the state’s hate crime reporting wing. Supporters of the law say the change would help police more accurately identify and classify bias-motivated offenses against Muslims and those perceived to be Muslim….
While Senate Bill 624 states it would not create a new criminal offense, civil cause of action, or restrict speech protected under the First Amendment or the Virginia Constitution, critics have raised concerns that placing a state mandated definition of Islamophobia into state law could blur the line between first amendment protected criticism of Islam as a religion and violent acts motivated by an anti-Muslim hatred or bias….
Linda Sarsour declares it’s ‘time to replace the Declaration of Independence’
Both parents of Linda Sarsour are Palestinian. She fervently picked up the Palestinian cause of “resistance” as a virulently antisemitic activist, and she continues to erode America from within.
Sarsour was banned from Israel last month. Israel’s Diaspora Affairs and Combating Antisemitism Minister Amichai Chikli described Sarsour as “one of the most prominent figures in the anti-Israel boycott movement in the U.S. and a leader of the violent pro-Hamas protests following October 7th…She has incited students on American campuses, led campaigns to sabotage Microsoft’s defense contracts with the IDF, and specifically targeted Unit 8200.”
Sarsour is also a longtime, staunch supporter of Zohran Mamdani in his Muslim-first mission in New York City. Mamdani was elected to the Muslim Democratic Club of New York, which Sarsour co-founded. The organization is “dedicated to empowering the Muslim community through political activism.”
Yet the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) tries to convince Americans that Republicans are “anti-Muslim” for supporting and advancing the Sharia-Free America Congressional Caucus.
