SIOA Trademark Victory in the Supreme Court

Today the US Supreme Court ruled in our favor, that the government may not refuse to register “potentially offensive” names (SIOA is not offensive, that is a smear). We have been suing to trademark SIOA (Stop Islamization of America) for a number of years but were repeatedly refused because it was considered “disparaging” to Muslims.

It was, in effect, an application of sharia law (‘do not criticize Islam’).We have been fighting to trademark SIOA (Stop Islamization of America) for a number of years but were repeatedly refused because the courts considered it “disparaging” to Muslims.

Jihadis preparing for battle in the West find protection in its Islamic “safe havens.” Like President Carter backing the Ayatollah Khomeini against the pro-American Shah, the consequences of aiding and abetting Islamic movements are catastrophic.

Southern Poverty Law Center Admits Shooter ‘Liked’ Its Facebook Page, Doesn’t Retract Repeated Attacks on Rep. Scalise

As details about the man who shot GOP lawmakers and staff as they practiced for a charity baseball game emerge, the Southern Poverty Law Center — which continually attacks conservatives and conservative organizations as being hate groups — issued a statement about the shooter having “liked” its Facebook page.

But it did not retract any of the criticism of Majority Whip Steve Scales (R-LA), who remains in critical condition at a local hospital.

Telegraph Headline: Look, Muslims did something humane! (maybe)

Grenfell Tower fire: Muslims awake for Ramadan among heroes who helped save lives

Look at this headline. Have you ever seen a headline that says, “Jews save lines …” or “Christians saves lives…” or “Hindus save lives ….” So when Muslim do something humane (which they are assuming, it’s not known for sure), something any human being would do, it’s news?
