RESOLUTION

Condemning the hateful and Islamophobic post of Representative Andy 
Ogles.

Resolved,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

This resolution may be cited as the ``Original Resolution 
Condemning the Hateful and Islamophobic Comments of Representative Andy 
Ogles''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

The House of Representatives finds the following:
(1) At 9:40 A.M. on March 9, 2026, Representative Andy 
Ogles posted ``Muslims don't belong in American society. 
Pluralism is a lie.''.
(2) The word ``Islam'' means ``submission to the will of 
God'' and ``peace''.
(3) Islam is a complete system of strong moral convictions 
that promotes peace, equality, and social justice.
(4) Islam charges that governments should always be focused 
on equity, justice, and compassion.
(5) Islam teaches and upholds the equality of all people, 
regardless of race or social status, abolishing systems that 
are against it, including the caste system.
(6) The Quran speaks about tolerance between Muslims and 
non-Muslims.
(7) The United States has been built from its foundation as 
a pluralist nation, composing itself from people of all walks 
of life.
(8) Opposing this pluralist philosophy in response to the 
racial makeup of the nation changing is hateful.
(9) The First Amendment in the Bill of Rights states that 
``Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of 
religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof''.
(10) Claiming that followers of Islam are incompatible with 
a pluralist nation with the above provision in its Constitution 
is Islamophobic.

SEC. 3. CONDEMNATION.

The House of Representatives condemns the hateful and Islamophobic 
post of Representative Andy Ogles, posted on ``X'' on March 9, 2026.
