May 21, 2011 Anti-Sharia Victory: "Material Support" Legislation Passes Tennessee House Anti-jihad legislation passed the Tennessee house last night by a huge majority. The "material support" bill is now on the floor of the State Senate -- Hamas-tied CAIR must be whipping out the litigation arsenal. Muslim Brotherhood US arm CAIR railed against this counter-terror bill ( <http://actforamericaomaha.com/cair-intimidation-to-stop-passage-of-tns-key- counter-terrorism-bill/> of course) and intimidated people to stop the passage of Tennessee's "Material Support to Designated Entities Act of 2011": House Bill 1353 and Senate Bill 1028. The twin bills, aimed at providing a powerful counterterrorism tool to state and local law enforcement by allowing for civil and/or criminal penalties against anyone providing material support or resources to terrorist organizations, have gained momentum since their introduction in February. The bills, criminalizing support of "designated sharia organizations," closely model federal anti-terrorism designation and material support statutes which have been upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court and the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals. NASHVILLE (AP) <http://www.wate.com/story/14673343/tennessee-anti-terrorist-bill-closer-to- federal-law> - [..] The measure also increases the penalty for knowingly providing "material support" to a designated terrorist group. Sponsors said the legislation builds on the Terrorism Prevention and Response Act of 2002, which passed the Tennessee General Assembly after the 9/11 terrorist attacks. The House version was placed behind the budget, meaning it will be revisited if any money is left after the state's budget is set. But sponsors of the legislation expect it to pass this session.
