Newt Gingrich:
Merely
Visiting An ISIS Or Al Qaeda Website Should Be A Felony. He also
wants to deport anyone "of Muslim background" who "believes in
Shari'a". Together, these two policies would attack the human rights
of all Americans.
Islamic law (Shari'a) denies basic human rights; it is as odious as
the former US "Jim Crow" laws that denied equal rights to blacks, and
the ban on abortions that many religious fanatics seek to impose.
However, freedom of speech calls on us to respect people's right to
advocate policies we disapprove of, even those. The first step in
showing how wrong they are is to respect human rights ourselves.
However, foreigners don't have a human right to come to live in the
US. I therefore advocate requiring all immigrants to affirm a
commitment to human rights, as an audio/video recording that will be
published, as part of getting permanent residency in the US.
