Bill Killian, the US Attorney for the Eastern district of Tennessee, says that social media comments critical of Islam that the Department of Justice deems “excessive” will be subject to “enforcement action.”
“We understand that some people may be frightened or angry over what they see as unwarranted acts of terror or other violence carried out by persons alleged to be motivated by radical religious views,” Killian said. “However, it is our position that two wrongs don’t make a right.”
“Fighting for the faith and slaying unbelievers is a religious obligation for Muslims,” Killian argued. “Verbal attacks on these beliefs and behaviors illegally denigrate the religious freedoms of Muslims. Just as our Constitution protects the Christians’ right to ‘turn the other cheek’ it also must protect the Muslims’ right to wage holy jihad. To the extent that Muslims are inhibited by hate speech targeting this right we will intervene.”
As for freedom of speech, Killian pointed out that “protecting the free exercise of religion takes precedence over abridging freedom of speech under the First Amendment. Speech that has the effect of suppressing the free exercise of a Muslim’s religion will not be tolerated by this Administration.”
The initial enforcement action is expected to be DOJ assistance in suits in which aggrieved Muslims seek financial compensation for “mental anguish” or “personal humiliation” they may suffer as a result of intemperate criticisms posted in public forums like Facebook and Twitter.
In related news, Senator Dick Durbin (D-Ill) questioned whether non-journalists are entitled to post their opinions on blog or twitter forums. “Journalists are trained to be objective,” Durbin contended. “Ordinary citizens are not. I think if we limited posting rights to this identifiable and more narrowly confined group we would eliminate a lot of our problems with unauthorized and unsanctioned expression. The news would be more controlled and less hysterical and subversive.”

Who decides what is excessive? Seems nobody has set the bar for excessive criticism of all other religions.
I guess Obama is going to protect the religion of his youth.
I find it hard to believe that anyone would support a people who murder those who don't embrace their religion. This guy must be absolutely insane.
this guy needs a refresher course on the constitution, specifically the 1st amendment
Our government is becoming the real and more immediate enemy
I thought that I had fairly good reading comprehension, but either I missed the intent of this story or Killian is totally nuts.
What I got from the story is that it is now against the law to point out that killing “non-believers” is not acceptable.
“Fighting for the faith and slaying unbelievers is a religious obligation for Muslims,” Killian argued. “Verbal attacks on these beliefs and behaviors illegally denigrate the religious freedoms of Muslims. Just as our Constitution protects the Christians’ right to ‘turn the other cheek’ it also must protect the Muslims’ right to wage holy jihad. To the extent that Muslims are inhibited by hate speech targeting this right we will intervene.”
How can any sane person spout such rot?
If this is the position of the DOJ, we are finished as a country.
We are ruled by idiots.
In reality, they’ll just have the IRS audit you and Homeland Security investigate you and all your associations.
If you own property or a business, a multitude of agencies will visit you. Resistance is futile!
neither are most politicians
Hello...satire? Read the last sentence of the post.
Well, Killian is nuts, as is his boss Holder, but it’s satire. Though it does sound like something he’d actually say.

Damn!!!
I got suckered again!
It was well written, and you were not the only one!
As usual with John’s satire, the reality is not far behind the satire.
true.
“We have to be willing to abridge their right of free speech in order to protect their right of free speech”
It’s a damned strange world we’re living in...
Semmens cutting pretty close to the bone as usual *bump*.
