US Attorney: Anti-Muslim Postings on Social Media May Be a Federal Crime
Ace Of Spades ^ | May 31, 2013 | Ace Of Spades

Via Judicial Watch, Bill Killian, the US Attorney for the Eastern district of Tennessee, just wants Americans to know what the consequences for free speech might be.

Special speakers for the event will be Bill Killian, U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Tennessee, and Kenneth Moore, special agent in charge of the FBI’s Knoxville Division.

Sponsor of the event is the American Muslim Advisory Council of Tennessee — a 15-member board formed two years ago when the General Assembly was considering passing legislation that would restrict those who worship Sharia Law, which is followed by Muslims.

Killian and Moore will provide input on how civil rights can be violated by those who post inflammatory documents targeted 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 told The News Monday. “This is also to inform the public what federal laws are in effect and what the consequences are.”

Killian said the presentation will also focus on Muslim culture and how, that although terrorist acts have been committed by some in the faith, they are no different from those in other religions.

...

He then cited the three non-Muslim terrorists acts they can never stop talking about.

Apparently he also babbled about how the US Government, law enforcement, and non-Muslim Americans are fostering an "us versus them" attitude.

See, we're doing that.

I might say that the "us versus them" attitude certainly seems to be fostered within the Muslim community itself, but I can't, because, as you'll see, US Attorney Bill Killian wants me to know he might put me in jail for saying that.

Killian said Internet postings that violate civil rights are subject to federal jurisdiction.

“That’s what everybody needs to understand,” he said.

The specific posting he mentioned was pretty egregious -- a picture of a guy holding a shotgun with the caption "How to Wink at a Muslim."

Nevertheless, what we have here is a US Attorney telling Americans that they can be arrested and imprisoned for the exercise of their First Amendment rights.

In the aftermath of the Woolrich slaughter in England, the British police immediately arrested... a man for making anti-Muslim comments on Twitter.

And I thought, "Ah well, that's Britain. They're doomed, but we already knew that."

But here we are in America, with one of the 100 or so US federal appointed Attorneys telling Americans that the federal government may lock them up for their internet postings.

Meanwhile, postings that demean Christians and Jews will be tolerated; nay, encouraged.

MUSLIM POPULATION TIMELINE

  1. As long as the Muslim population remains around or under 2% in any given country, they will be for the most part regarded as a peace-loving minority, and not as a threat to other citizens.
  2. At 2% to 5%, they begin to proselytize other ethnic minorities and disaffected groups, often with major recruiting from the jails and among street gangs.

  3. From 5% on, they exercise an inordinate influence in proportion to their percentage of the population. For example, they will push for the introduction of halal (clean by Islamic standards) food, thereby securing food preparation jobs for Muslims They will increase pressure on supermarket chains to feature halal on their shelves along with threats for failure to comply. At this point, they will work to get the ruling government to allow them to rule themselves (within their ghettos) under Sharia, the Islamic Law. The ultimate goal of Islamists is to establish Sharia law over the entire world.

  4. When Muslims approach 10% of the population, they tend to increase lawlessness as a means of complaint about their conditions. In Paris, we are already seeing car-burnings. Any non-Muslim action offends Islam, and results in uprisings and threats, such as in Amsterdam , with opposition to Mohammed cartoons and films about Islam.

  5. After reaching 20%, nations can expect hair-trigger rioting, jihad militia formations, sporadic killings, and the burnings of Christian churches and Jewish synagogues.

  6. At 40%, nations experience widespread massacres, chronic terror attacks, and ongoing militia warfare.

  7. From 60%, nations experience unfettered persecution of non-believers of all other religions (including non-conforming Muslims), sporadic ethnic cleansing (genocide), use of Sharia Law as a weapon, and Jizya, the tax placed on infidels.

  8. After 80%, expect daily intimidation and violent jihad, some State-run ethnic cleansing, and even some genocide, as these nations drive out the infidels, and move toward 100% Muslim, such as has been experienced and in some ways is on-going in Bangladesh — Muslim 83%, Egypt — Muslim 90%, Gaza — Muslim 98.7%, Indonesia — Muslim 86.1%, Iran — Muslim 98%, Iraq — Muslim 97%, Jordan — Muslim 92%

  9. 100% will usher in the peace of ‘Dar-es-Salaam’ — the Islamic House of Peace. Here there’s supposed to be peace, because everybody is a Muslim, the Madrasses are the only schools, and the Koran is the only word, such as in: Afghanistan — Muslim 100%, Saudi Arabia — Muslim 100%, Somalia — Muslim 100%, Yemen ---Muslim 100%.

Insulting members of a third-world cult may be a crime but feel free to insult “Tea Baggers” all you want. After all, they feel they are taxed enough already and thus deserve your scorn.

Are Anti-Christian/Buddhist/Hindu/Jewish posts online a federal crime? Why not? Why is Islam the only protected ‘religion’? To hell with this! ‘Consequences of free speech?!?!’- this free speech is a consequence of Islam terrorizing the world! The only good Muslim is a dead Muslim and an Islam free world MUST be the goal of all freedom-loving and civilized people.

I laugh at mr. killian, who should be relieved of his current job and be given a shovel and a wheelbarrow for his new job.

But you can toss condoms around a Catholic Church, piss on Christ or the Virgin Mary, call Christians racist and homophobic, etc.

F this guy and his PC threats. I’m not Muslim and I will say any damn thing I want about Muhammed, Muslims, or my Aunt Sally, for that matter.

BTW, when Muslims take over they will NOT allow you to practice your religion or to be protected from their “hate speech”. I think that led to the confusion, this speaker either thinks they did take over already or he is preparing us.

What’s so unbelievable is that they (the Feds) are so comfortable saying things that only a couple of years ago would have meant ...

I really don’t recognize anything about this country any longer.

Islam and scientology, though completely different entities, share one important trait. They are, by necessity disguised as religions to hide their true agendas. Scientology, in the guise of a religion is an elaborate scam devised by L Ron Hubbard, a 4th-rate sci-fi writer and low-level con artist whose primary objective was to separate the rich and famous from as much of their $$$ as possible. Islam, in the guise of a religion, is an intorlerant, absolutist, tyrannical, misogynistic social order devised by mohamed, whose primary objectives were to rule the world and get laid.

Has there been any pushback by our esteemed republican leaders to this?

No wonder Jerry Lewis is no longer on his own telethon. Who’s next, Don Rickles?

Yes, and the president of Ohio State University can denigrate Catholics and everyone laughs.

Double standard, eh?

I am hearing a little too much of that one. Not that I disagree with you factually, but I think it was common practice among Arabian bedouins to have sex with pre-pubescent girls—or at least in the very beginning of puberty. So all Arab men could have been called child rapists—Don’t think Mo was terribly unique on that one.

ERROR: “...they are no different from those in other religions.”

also, the one about “Us verse them” mentality — yeah - it’s big time in all Islamic countries...I’ve seen it - and they ALL believe it...

I have no idea why the agent gave this speech - maybe in hopes to over turn and halt some future measure he knows of that will actually jail US Citizens for speaking out against Islam??? Or that he is a pansy???

If this is true - I guess I’ll have to taken down my website and stop selling my book - the VERY THING Moslems want — to silence those speaking against ISLAM....
