In its latest effort to protect followers of Islam in the U.S. the Obama Justice Department warns against using social media to spread information considered inflammatory against Muslims, threatening that it could constitute a violation of civil rights.
The move comes a few years after the administration became the first in history to dispatch a U.S. Attorney General to personally reassure Muslims that the Department of Justice (DOJ) is dedicated to protecting them. In the unprecedented event, Attorney General Eric Holder assured a San Francisco-based organization (Muslim Advocates) that urges members not to cooperate in federal terrorism investigations that the “us versus them” environment created by the U.S. government, law enforcement agents and fellow citizens is unacceptable and inconsistent with what America is all about.
“Muslims and Arab Americans have helped build and strengthen our nation,” Holder said after expressing that he is “grateful” to have Muslims as a partner in promoting tolerance, ensuring public safety and protecting civil rights. He also vowed to strengthen “crucial dialogue” between Muslim and Arab-American communities and law enforcement.
Evidently that was a precursor of sorts for an upcoming Tennessee event (“Public Disclosure in a Diverse Society”) that will feature the region’s top DOJ official, who serves as U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Tennessee, and an FBI representative. The goal is to increase awareness and understanding that American Muslims are not the terrorists some have made them out to be in social media and other circles, according to a local newspaper report. The June 4 powwow is sponsored by the American Muslim Advisory Council of Tennessee.
The area’s top federal prosecutor, Bill Killian, will address a topic that most Americans are likely unfamiliar with, even those well versed on the Constitution; that federal civil rights laws can actually be violated by those who post inflammatory documents aimed at Muslims on social media. “This is an educational effort with civil rights laws as they play into freedom of religion and exercising freedom of religion,” Killian says in the local news story. “This is also to inform the public what federal laws are in effect and what the consequences are.”
The DOJ political appointee adds in the article that the upcoming presentation will also focus on Muslim culture with a special emphasis on the fact that the religion is no different from others, even though some in the faith have committed terrorist acts, Christians have done the same. As an example he offers that the worst terrorist attack in the U.S. prior to 9/11 was committed by American Christians in Oklahoma City. He also mentioned the Wisconsin Sikh temple shooting last year in which another Christian, an American white supremacist, fatally shot six people and wounded four others.
“Some of the finest people I’ve met are Muslims,” Killian said, adding later: “We want to inform everybody about what the law is, but more importantly, we want to provide what the law means to Muslims, Hindus and every other religion in the country. It’s why we came here in the first place. In England, they were using Christianity to further their power in government. That’s why the First Amendment is there.”
Over the years the Obama administration has embarked on a fervent crusade to befriend Muslims by creating a variety of outreach programs at a number of key federal agencies. For instance the nation’s Homeland Security covertly met with a group of extremist Arab, Muslim and Sikh organizations to discuss national security matters and the State Department sent a controversial, anti-America Imam (Feisal Abdul Rauf) to the Middle East to foster greater understanding and outreach among Muslim majority communities.
The Obama Administration has also hired a special Homeland Security adviser (Mohamed Elibiary) who openly supports a radical Islamist theologian and renowned jihadist ideologue and a special Islam envoy that condemns U.S. prosecutions of terrorists as “politically motivated persecutions” and has close ties to radical extremist groups.
The president has even ordered the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to shift its mission from space exploration to Muslim diplomacy and the government started a special service that delivers halal meals, prepared according to Islamic law, to home-bound seniors in Detroit. Who could forget Hillary Clinton’s special order allowing the reentry of two radical Islamic academics whose terrorist ties have long banned them from the U.S.?
It's what is being taken away from Americans and being given to Islams.
Those runners were infidels for wearing short pants and not being Muslims. Stop violating my civil rights by disagreeing with me.

Definition of blasphemy (n)
disrespect for religion: disrespect for God or sacred things
something showing disrespect for religion: something done or said that shows disrespect for God or sacred things
Synonyms: profanity, sacrilege, wickedness, irreverence, violation, desecration
Snip: ….there is no universally accepted, written form of Sharia religious law. It’s all about interpretation.
So in practice, it will be up to individual Muslim clerics – with varying degrees of juridical knowledge and reputation – to declare an individual a blasphemer. A wide variety of alleged offences have been branded as blasphemous in different environments, ranging from cultural production deemed offensive to Islam to bizarre allegations of blasphemy such as the Sudanese case of a teddy bear named Mohammed.
Don’t forget - they helped inspire the Marine Corps Hymn.
Clarification : <... Or at least it would be huge to me because I’ve never seen a civil rights law that overrules the 1st Am. >
...as it pertains to social media.
There. That makes more sense.
You summed it up pretty well.
The radical fanatical Imam’s can have most anyone brutally murdered for most anything they don’t agree with.
It is really sick that some in our Justice Department and government are prepared to support that.
Bite me, you filthy koranimal.
If you want to know who your master is, first find out who you are not allowed to criticize.
The Won is not Muslim; being Muslim requires that one worship Allah.
The Won worships nobody but himself.
He is, however, most assuredly a Muslim sympathizer.
Yeah, that’s probably why Obama seems to have it out for Marines.
I thought Timothy McVeigh was an atheist.
If it’s so wrong to target Muslim’s why does this government have a drone program that by design kills a lot of innocent Muslims?
The Won has it out for all of Western Civilization.
I saw a special that played tapes of McVeigh discussing his personal ‘philosophies’ and he said “ Science is my religion”.
I probably couldn’t find a source for it now but I clearly remember him saying it.
Those words really scorched my reasoning and memory.Where in a true/real world do these Islam promoters get the idea outside their bigoted and deceitful world that Muslims were anywhere close to doing such great things for the US before the late 1960s except using their nefarious intentions as to subjugating the US to their oil supplies.I can’t/don’t believe the Bush family helped the US in this economic/political turmoil. If I recall correctly the Arabs were friends of Hitler in WWII. Perhaps the Bush family thought they could change the leopard’s spots.
That is also true.
I found that on wikipedia, they probably have a citation there.
Here is an article about Tims religious voted:

If DOA is coming out with this right now, I suspect they know some information on targeting social media is coming out.
