No Islamic Government Commission

Actions Taken
Massachusetts has a bill moving rapidly through the legislature that would create a permanent, official government Islam commission: an 11-member body whose statutory duties include identifying and recommending “qualified American Muslims for appointive positions at all levels of government, including boards and commissions.” It must “combat Islamophobia.” And it can solicit and accept gifts, donations, grants, bequests—or federal funds—with virtually no meaningful guardrails beyond existing law.
In plain English: a permanent, taxpayer-supported Islamic advisory body inside state government with a direct pipeline into hiring decisions and a mandate to shape anti-“Islamophobia” statutes. Iran, Qatar, or any well-funded Islamist network could theoretically funnel money into this commission. That should alarm every Massachusetts taxpayer who still believes in equal treatment under the law.
