"Top Justice Department officials convened a meeting Wednesday where invited Islamist advocates lobbied them for cutbacks in anti-terror funding, changes in agents’ training manuals, additional curbs on investigators and a legal declaration that U.S. citizens’ criticism of Islam constitutes racial discrimination."

On the face of it criticism of a religious movement (not all of Islam, but an influential strand within it) is not "racial discrimination." Islam prides itself on welcoming people of all races. Albanian Muslims are just as white as Albanian Christians. Some of the ethnic groups in the Caucasus are Muslim--yet we call white people "Caucasians."

Muslim groups, Progressives, and the Obama administration share a common goal of curtailing our freedoms. James Madison wrote in the First Amendment that "Congress shall make no law....abridging the freedom of speech," but he did not foresee the executive branch usurping the power to do exactly that.
