In its latest effort to protect followers of Islam in the U.S. the Obama Justice Department warns against using social media to spread information considered inflammatory against Muslims, threatening that it could constitute a violation of civil rights.

Somebody should ask Holder whether or not use of the term "nigger" in social media is a civil rights violation.

Unacceptable language, yes. Insensitive, to be sure. But a violation of ci8vi8l rights, under the First Amendment? I hardly think so.

How about "spic", Eric?

And, for that matter, "honky"? Or "bible-thumper"? Or "Jesus-freak"? Are those also "civil rights violations", Mr. Attorney General?

The Constitution's guarantee of "equality under the law" does not have a special clause exempting Islam.

Amen to that!
