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 dont 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 Muslims 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.

I got suckered because I really do believe that obumbler is a muslim, and I also believe that he is a closet jihadist.
I believe his actions in the Mid-east demonstrate that.
I read an article recently that opened my eyes. The question was, why if he is a jihadist would he do drone strikes on jihadists?
Answer...Like the Sunnis kill Shiites and Bloods kill Crips, it is a turf war and the winner gets whatever territory the Caliphate controls.
So forget the drones...forget the special forces strikes and look at the overall view...look at where this thing is going. The mid-east is going to end up in the hands of the Muslim Brotherhood.
Who is the Muslim Brotherhood’s best friend in the western world?
Obumbler.
So even though the article is satire and I got snookered, it gives one a lot to think about simply because it is not totally implausible.
Bring it on you rag head SOBs! My bullets are coated with pig fat!
but these days it's sometimes hard to tell.
Thanks. Yes, I figured it out.
John, I think you’re on to something. For a Muslim to slaughter American infidels is surely protected under the Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993. That Act permits Native Americans to use peyote for religious purposes.
Unwarranted acts of terror? What, does he think there are times when acts of terror by Muslims are warranted?
Yes, I see your point. For everyone else peyote is forbidden. For Native Americans it is a protected religious practice.
For everyone else killing someone who offends your faith is forbidden. For Muslims it is a protected religious practice.
"...who, being themselves but fallible and uninspired men, have assumed dominion over the faith of others, setting up their own opinions and modes of thinking as the only true and infallible, and as such endeavoring to impose them on others, hath established and maintained false religions over the greatest part of the world, and through all time;...that it is time enough for the rightful purposes of civil government, for its officers to interfere when principles break out into overt acts against peace and good order; and finally, that truth is great and will prevail if left to herself, that she is the proper and sufficient antagonist to error, and has nothing to fear from the conflict, unless by human interposition disarmed of her natural weapons, free argument and debate, errors ceasing to be dangerous when it is permitted freely to contradict them.

Yes, to spread the faith of Islam.
With your ability to mix truth and fiction, you might consider putting in a resume for Mister Holder's job (assuming that he heads for the exits sometime soon.)

Journalists are trained to be objective, Durbin contended.
The horror, The horror
Mistah Durbin- He Clueless
A few that may be new to your posts pick up on that quickly I have noticed. It is really the punchline..........
What you missed is that it is satire.

That's probably good enough for the Ninth Circus.
