prosecuting “anti-Muslim hate speech.”

Have Holder and Obama ever heard of something called the first amendment? Freedom of speech?

The government has already carved out an exception to the First Amendment for the benefit of abortion clinics. Now they are trying to carve out another one to prohibit saying anything which might offend a Muslim.

I don't know if they can find juries who would convict people for merely expressing negative views of Islam...but maybe the idea is to silence people by threatening prosecution or fines.
