US Attorney: Anti-Muslim Postings on Social Media May Be a Federal Crime

Via Judicial Watch, Bill Killian, the US Attorney for the Eastern district of Tennessee, just wants Americans to know what the consequences for free speech might be.

Special speakers for the event will be Bill Killian, U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Tennessee, and Kenneth Moore, special agent in charge of the FBI’s Knoxville Division.

Sponsor of the event is the American Muslim Advisory Council of Tennessee — a 15-member board formed two years ago when the General Assembly was considering passing legislation that would restrict those who worship Sharia Law, which is followed by Muslims.

Killian and Moore will provide input on how civil rights can be violated by those who post inflammatory documents targeted at Muslims on social media.

“This is an educational effort with civil rights laws as they play into freedom of religion and exercising freedom of religion,” Killian told The News Monday. “This is also to inform the public what federal laws are in effect and what the consequences are.”

Killian said the presentation will also focus on Muslim culture and how, that although terrorist acts have been committed by some in the faith, they are no different from those in other religions.

...

He then cited the three non-Muslim terrorists acts they can never stop talking about.

Apparently he also babbled about how the US Government, law enforcement, and non-Muslim Americans are fostering an "us versus them" attitude.

See, we're doing that.

I might say that the "us versus them" attitude certainly seems to be fostered within the Muslim community itself, but I can't, because, as you'll see, US Attorney Bill Killian wants me to know he might put me in jail for saying that.

Killian said Internet postings that violate civil rights are subject to federal jurisdiction.

“That’s what everybody needs to understand,” he said.

The specific posting he mentioned was pretty egregious -- a picture of a guy holding a shotgun with the caption "How to Wink at a Muslim."

Nevertheless, what we have here is a US Attorney telling Americans that they can be arrested and imprisoned for the exercise of their First Amendment rights.

In the aftermath of the Woolrich slaughter in England, the British police immediately arrested... a man for making anti-Muslim comments on Twitter.

And I thought, "Ah well, that's Britain. They're doomed, but we already knew that."

But here we are in America, with one of the 100 or so US federal appointed Attorneys telling Americans that the federal government may lock them up for their internet postings.

“I, for one, welcome our new insect...er...islamic overlords.”

Some how, just not as funny as being overrun by predatory space aliens.

Yeah yeah yeah, but now it is institutionalized and perpetuated.

Instead of it becoming a “quaint” practice of long dead bedouins, it receives an imprimatur in their holy writ.

Good thing FR is not ‘social media’...

And btw, this @$$hat of a US Attorney better start wearing his flak jacket...some of those EVIL Muzzies might misunderstand his comments and take him out...

I’m offended by Islam

Muhammad led 27 military campaigns against innocent villages and caravans & planned 38 others. In other words, he was a barbarian and mass murderer no different than Hitler.

Killian doesn’t know what he’s talking about. Continue on with freedom of speech!

[DonkeyBonker]

Free speech has a consequence? You mean I might offend one of the towel heads? LOL

[Jay Redhawk]

Well Bill Killian let me just say, “I fart in your general direction.”

[Uncle Miltie]

The point is that when Sharia proponents suppose to extinguish my First Amendment Rights, I’m going to smack them in the face with that fact each and every time.

9 Year Old Girls can’t consent.

Mohammed was a Child Rapist.

[ThomasMore]

This is the face of Mohamed's Islam. This is not normal. This is psychopathic.

[Arm_Bears]

And the US Federal Government appears to have chosen the side that opposes the majority of its own citizens.

[bigfootbob]

All I can say is we get the type of government we vote for and when we don’t vote at all, it is the same as voting wrong.

I’m with you however, Screw Mohammed and all the radical pedophile worshiper’s. I’m working on a Piss Mohammed work of art in my spare time down in the swine barn.

Eat pig crap, mo-HAM-head!

"I think that tomorrow I will walk my dogs in front of the nearest mosque. Or drive down to Tennessee, throw bacon at a mosque, then go fishing or something."

Throwing bacon at a mosque could be considered a hate crime, just like throwing eggs at a church; it is a form of vandalism, and that goes beyond free speech.

And regarding the Internet, it is not a blank check to say anything we want. For example, we cannot make death threats over the Internet - that is not protected free speech. But criticizing Islam - or any other religion - IS free speech, and any efforts to criminalize that must be resisted.

"MUSLIM POPULATION TIMELINE"

I don't know if your timeline is based on hard evidence or anecdotal observation, but it seems pretty accurate to me. Several countries in Europe have now reached the 10-15% threshold, and - in my view - that may be the point of no return. The car has already gone over the cliff, and we're just waiting to hear the splat.

[SharpRightTurn]

Bill Killian, U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Tennessee—useful idiot mohammedan enabler.

Hey, Killian, you jerk: go do a work/study program in Krapistan for a few years, then get back to us on your “mohammedanism is just another peaceful religion” lecture. (If there’s anything left of you.)

[Errant]

Mr. Killian said, "I am deeply honored and appreciative of President Obama's nomination, and the support of Senator Lamar Alexander, Senator Bob Corker, Congressman Lincoln Davis, and the entire Tennessee Congressional delegation. I intend to work with both state and federal officials as well as citizens to address, coordinate and efficiently utilize the resources of the federal government to enforce the law and meet the many challenges for law enforcement."

Tennessee, what hath you wrought?

[ScottinVA]

F*** that guy... I’ll say what I damned well want.

And f*** that child molesting murderer Mohammed, too.
