Florida county official faces discipline for post critical of Islam on Facebook

It seems free speech doesn't include criticism of certain religions these days. John Jamason, a public information officer for Florida's Palm Beach County, is facing discipline for posting a 9/11 message critical of Islam on his private Facebook page, The Blaze reported Saturday.

“Never forget. There is no such thing as radical Islam. All Islam is radical. There may be Muslims who don’t practice their religion, much like others. The Quran is a book that preaches hate,” the message, posted on the 12th anniversary of the 9/11 attack, said.

"It was just my opinion on this day about that specific event and that religion," he said. "There weren't any fundamentalist Christians on planes, flying into buildings on this particular day. Have Christians committed atrocities? Of course."

"The point is, the people that are attacking our embassy in Libya, and attacking our soldiers, and doing things to us all around the world, are Muslims," he added.

County Administrator Bob Weisman says he is considering disciplinary action against Jamason.

Meanwhile, the Council on American-Islamic Relations is demanding all emails that were sent to or from Jamason’s county email address within the last three days, as well as anything sent or received within the last 60 days that dealt with Muslims, Muslim organizations, the Muslim community, Islam, Islamic organizations or Islamic centers.

CAIR also wants any communications sent by Jamason from any county computer within the last 30 days, the Palm Beach Post said, including social media comments

He should have stuck with Judaism and Christianity to get away with it.

South Florida has become a hive infested with liberals from the northeast over the past four decades. They come to Florida with their failed politics and policies and impose them on the rest of us.

South Florida has got to be among the most corrupt regions of the country, and that’s saying a lot! In just the last month three South Florida mayors have been indicted for alleged corruption in unrelated incidents.

When people say, “have Christians committed atrocities? Of course” or something to that effect, they lose all credibility.

If he is saying that Muslims commit atrocities then he is saying they do it in the name or in the cause of Islam.

Whether there’s any credibility to that or not, notwithstanding, he continues his argument with the analogy of Christians, whom he could leave out of the argument but he doesn’t.

Christianity means following Christ.

In his analogy, he is stating that in the name of Christ people commit atrocities.

Never.

He is an idiot.

How about that “Equal protection under the law” thing?

He is doomed, of course....not because what he said is wrong, but because he is right.

Nothing he said is untrue. In fact it is very mild. islam is a death cult that teaches oppression and terror. It is responsible for thousands of deaths weekly across the globe. It goal is to destroy the West (US) and remove freedom and liberty from the planet.
I would fight this action through the courts. This is what islam counts on. Fear and the West destroying itself as it suppresses freedom and liberty because of that fear.

We have been infiltrated and compromised, from the gov’t to the military to the courts, society and everywhere else. 0muslim&Co were elected and re-elected. What does that say? As a Republic, we’re over. Look at what they’ve ‘accomplished’ in 5yrs, with 50yrs of marxist-commie prep work; they have 3yrs to go. If we lose the House in 2014, it’ll be SHTF.

The bottom few counties in FL, Dade, Broward and PB are 2/3 lib scum. I used to have dws as a rep, now it’s alcee hastings.

Beautiful place to live, but a liberal sewer.

That should tell you right there.

I lived in Coral Gables and worked in Miami for the BSA, back in the early-mid-70s, but was robbed/shot and moved back to NYC. It was slowly turning into a lib sewer from Cuban Mafia Gov’t control, back then. Beautiful, but time to get out and back to Real America. I had a home down on Big Pine Key, and spent a lot of time down there. Homestead AFB had some ‘black ops’ planes flying out/in at night, almost weekly, and it was fun to guess what they were.
