U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch is assuring Muslims of her support, threatening action against any "anti-Muslim rhetoric" that "edges toward violence."
Lynch, speaking at a dinner held by the Muslim Advocates, a national legal advocacy group, announced Thursday night the Justice Department will investigate the police department in Texas that arrested a 14-year-old Muslim boy who brought a device that looked like a bomb to school. Ahmed "Clock Boy" Mohamed was never charged, but several congressmen asked Lynch for the civil-rights investigation she promised Thursday.

"When we are ruled by fear, we are not making ourselves safe," Lynch said.
She specifically criticized proposals in Congress to block Syrian refugees from the U.S.
"This is not the way," she said, and people were "simply rushing to judgment."
Assuring the pro-Muslim group that "we stand with you," Lynch said she would use her Justice Department to protect Muslims from "violence" and discrimination and vowed to prosecute anyone guilty of what she described as violence-inspiring speech.
"The fear that you have just mentioned is in fact my greatest fear as a prosecutor, as someone who is sworn to the protection of all of the American people, which is that the rhetoric will be accompanied by acts of violence," she said. "My message to not just the Muslim community but to the entire American community is: we cannot give in to the fear that these backlashes are really based on."

Ms. Lynch needs to be sent a clear message.
The first politically-motivated free speech prosecution will result in impeachment proceedings.
If only there were Republican leadership with spines.
Farrakhan first bitch
What backlash?
Dear Idiot Lynch,
here goes:
1. I won’t hire any, period.
2. I won’t have any handling my purchases, if they are manning a cash register.
3. I belive, since THEY believe in this sharia tripe, THEY cannot be citizens of America, because THEY believe that the sharia tripe ‘overrules’ the U.S. Constitution, therefore, THEY must be shipped back, with the forfeiture of anything and everything gained as personal assets while in the U.S.
Why did republicans confirm this POS?
Such cowards.
Sjot launchin funny !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Islam rules by fear, you politically corrected dhimwit.
Lynch and Obama’s gang of hoods should be committed to an institution for the insane. Muslims are evil and killing is part of their cult belief.
Would that obama’s gal in the DOJ were as diligent in prosecuting anti-Christian speech. How about the folks at the NY Daily News who called Wayne LaPierre a terrorist? I’d say feelings are running pretty high and violent toward terrorists so soon after San Bernardino.
How about it, Loretta? Still waiting for the boss’s teleprompter to tell you how to think?
100%
I think Lynch just got herself in trouble.
Guess we’ll find out. I attended the Mohammed cartoon contest and had to give my personal info to the FBI so I’m probably on the list.
“Ten Republican senators broke ranks and sided with Democrats to get Lynch over the 50-vote threshold:
Kelly Ayotte (N.H.),
Orrin Hatch (Utah),
Lindsey Graham (S.C.),
Susan Collins (Maine),
Jeff Flake (Ariz.),
Mark Kirk (Ill.),
Rob Portman (Ohio),
Thad Cochran (Miss.),
Ron Johnson (Wis.) and Mitch McConnell (Ky.).”
Loretta Lynch is who she is. Those who confirmed her nomination are the ones actually responsible for this travesty.
It doesn’t matter, but I don’t doubt it.
She goosesteps with the muslim defender in chief and his army of ms media accolytes.
They have been at war on anyone who espouses any Judeo-Christian beliefs for a long time, and it’s really starting to gain traction. Their minions are coming out of the woodwork and piling on.
Who knows what’s in her heart.
But we can judge her actions (ye shall know them by their fruits).
They are anti-Christian, anti-Bible, and pro-Islamist.
Hey, Lo-retta. I got your anti-Muslim “hostility” right here: Throughout its 1400+ year history, Islam has been and remains a serial murderer of entire peoples and cultures. It is a sadistic anti-human abomination worthy only of extinction.
Your move, Lo-retta.
Whew! It’s been MINUTES since Obama or one of his sycophants lectured the American people on how to act.
And the result of all that self-righteous hectoring?
Eff Islam and Eff you and the camel you rode in on, Lynch.
“had to give my personal info to the FBI”.....Huh? And if you hadn’t fessed up? No cartoon submission for you? Kinda like cartoon nazis?
