FBI agents told an Oklahoma woman that the agency spends "every day, all day long" questioning people about their social media posts when they arrived at her house to ask about posts she made online.
Rolla Abdeljawad, of Stillwater, was told by FBI agents who showed up at her home on Wednesday that Facebook had handed over screenshots of her posts.
Abdeljawad told the agents she did not want to talk and asked them to show their badges on camera, but the agents refused, video posted to the social media platform X by her lawyer, Hassan Shibly, shows. The woman wrote on Facebook that she later confirmed with local police that the people who showed up at her home were actually FBI agents.
"Facebook gave us a couple of screenshots of your account," one agent wearing a gray shirt was heard saying in the video.
Abdeljawad replied, "So we no longer live in a free country, and we can't say what we want?"
"No, we totally do," another agent wearing a red shirt said. "That's why we're not here to arrest you or anything. We do this every day, all day long. It's just an effort to keep everybody safe and make sure nobody has any ill will."
The woman then said, "All I've done is exercise my right as an American citizen on a public social media platform with my personal opinions."
It is unclear which posts caught the attention of the FBI, but Abdeljawad has made a series of posts in the past week expressing frustration about the ongoing war in Gaza between Israeli forces and Hamas terrorists, including referring to Israel as "Israhell."
"Israhelli terrorist filth," she said in one post. "They think Ramadan is a weakness for Muslims not, realizing Ramadan is the strength...

....gotta keep punishing decent American citizens who voice their opinions! ......imho
I’m surprised. I thought anti-Israel was OK.
Personally I take no issue with extra security when dealing with Muslims. They’ve shown that their religion is about using violence and murder to accomplishing their goals of supremacy.
I wonder if the FIB would show up if you posted that the new FIB HQ should be defunded?
I drive a truck for a living and by DOT fed regulations we are subject to random drug testing. Usually it’s once a year, but sometimes like last year I don’t get called at all.
When the FBI raided Trumps mansion, I think it was August of 2022, I posted quite a few criticizing comments on the FBI Facebook page, and even sent them emails, nothing threatening, just asking questions such as: “When are you going to investigate all those involved in the Russia collusion hoax?” or “The Clinton foundation made $3.6 billion in Haitian aid money disappear, when will you raid that?”
Well lo and behold, a week later I got called in for the drug test. And then a week later ANOTHER drug test! And then a few weeks after that ANOTHER drug test. Coincidence? I don’t think so. Clearly, at least to me, someone was harassing me, trying to destroy my job but F them, I dont do drugs so they can go to hell.
I still say FAKE. Note the the reporter did say he tried to verify her account with the FBI nor the Police. FAKE
Same here, I figured they’d both be on the same side of that issue.
I wouldn't call what she posted the viewpoint of a decent American citizen...imho.
Well, the feebs only give the muzzies a talking to. If a normal American were to post something like "Build the wall!" they would get the full SWAT treatment.
I got a visit from the FBI regarding a benign post on terrorism that I made here on Free Republic shortly after J6. He arrived with a local detective. He said I was reported for making a threatening comment. He had a screen print of the post. He asked for the context of the post. He wouldn’t tell me how he got the post. Either someone here is a rat or they are surveilling our posts via A!.
I posted on the FBI Twitter page they need to be defunded.
There’s only one way they would know your name.
When they said we are not here to arrest you and we have free speech in America, she should have slammed the door. They get more like the KGB every day.
Maybe they were there to recruit her for something.
She might have just been a token. Anyway, we don’t believe it was totally legit.
when ya hear about daily interrogations...ya gotta think somebodies somewhere are pretty insecure about what they’re doing
muslims are allowed by law to support terrorist baby roasting rapists.
I don't believe for one second that ever happened
” FBI interrogates Americans over social media posts ‘every day, all day long,’ agent says (FIB determines ‘ill will’)”
ill will aka misinformation?
