A U.S. attorney in Tennessee is reportedly vowing to use federal civil rights statutes to clamp down on offensive and inflammatory speech about Islam.
Bill Killian, U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Tennessee, was quoted by the Tullahoma News this week suggesting that some inflammatory material on Islam might run afoul of federal civil rights laws.
"We need to educate people about Muslims and their civil rights, and as long as we’re here, they’re going to be protected," Killian told the newspaper.
Killian, along with the FBI special agent that runs the Knoxville office, are set to speak next week to a special meeting with the local Muslim community, informing them about their rights under federal law.
"This is an educational effort with civil rights laws as they play into freedom of religion and exercising freedom of religion," Killian said about the meeting. "This is also to inform the public what federal laws are in effect and what the consequences are."
Killian pointed to a recent controversy where a local Tennessee politician posted a photo of a man aiming a shotgun at the camera with the caption "How to wink at a Muslim."

Maybe you’ll have to make your own. When you do, post it here so we can help distribute it.
Bill, you’re wrong. Not much else to say.
So then.... don’t post, don’t comment, don’t blog about Islam.
As Jed in Red Dawn said, “Don’t cry! Let it turn, let it turn, let it turn to something else”.
Deus vult!
nobody here is free from criticism.
Guess I’ll start a Facebook account just to jerk em around.
Muslims are the enemy.
There are no moderate enemies.
What an absolute masterpiece!
Make one and send it to the Metropolitan Museum of “art”. They seemed to like that kind of stuff
Also elephant dung.
Yes, I imagine the federal government would have notified the Muslim that we are sorry if we have done anything to offend the Muslim and make him/her feel anger toward us, and will try to understand how our friendship with Israel and our dedication to the education of women in our society might be offensive to the distinguished religion of Mohammed.
And then the federal government would have asked if there was anyplace he/she would like to build a mosque, and promise to have the federal government try to ram it through the zoning laws of any given city....even near Ground Zero.
also affirmed was... offensive and inflammatory speech about Christians can get you 3 years of audit free IRS special "Customer Service"
As a resident of the fine fair state of Tennessee, I am appalled , embarrassed, outraged and just sick over the fact that this idiot attorney is from here! I am so sorry! This crap needs to be stopped!!!!!
ALL moslems are terrorists.Every single one.And that includes every single one currently present in the United States,be they present legally or illegally.ALL non US citizen moslems present here,legally or illegally,should be deported tomorrow.ALL US citizen moslems should have FBI surveillance 24/7/365 as should every single one of their "mosques" and other gathering places.
Have I made myself abundantly clear,Comrade Killian?
As we’ve seen in Europe and we’re slowly starting to see in America, you can have freedom of speech or you can have multiculturalism, but you can’t have both.
Unfortunately, our masters have chosen which will go, and it’s not what the people would have picked.
there are no constitutional rights for slaves of a dictatorship
"THEY CLING TO THEIR GUNS OR RELIGION",
I can proudly say with no fear whatsoever,
"THEY CLING TO THEIR PRESSURE COOKER BOMBS OR RELIGION"
Look you still have to atone for producing Al Gore you know.....
