Stmt of AG Eric Holder on DOJ's Outreach & Enforcement Efforts to Protect American Muslims
Dept of Justice ^ | June 4, 2009 | Eric Holder

Posted on 06/05/2009 11:53:27 AM PDT by callisto

U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder released the following statement relating to President Obama’s historic speech today in Cairo, Egypt:

"The President's pledge for a new beginning between the United States and the Muslim community takes root here in the Justice Department where we are committed to using criminal and civil rights laws to protect Muslim Americans. A top priority of this Justice Department is a return to robust civil rights enforcement and outreach in defending religious freedoms and other fundamental rights of all of our fellow citizens in the workplace, in the housing market, in our schools and in the voting booth.

"There are those who will continue to want to divide by fear - to pit our national security against our civil liberties - but that is a false choice. We have a solemn responsibility to protect our people while we also protect our principles."

What about American Americans? Are we the only enemy they will recognize?

At least the only terrorists they will recognize.

More people need to see this and quit denying it.

I believe the timing of the Tiller murder and the terrorist attack in Little Rock was an act of divine providence to wake some people up.

Look at the reaction from the government and the media to both.

STRATFOR heard from sources that the FBI and other law enforcement organizations had been ordered to "back off" of counterterrorism investigations into the activities of Black Muslim converts.

The Egyptian daily Rose Al-Youssef proclaimed after Obama's speech in a bright red headline "Beautiful words, now action"...

...they have their answer!

But they’ve announced this afternoon that they are opening a federal investigation in Tiller’s murder. Wyatt’s Torch said it best, “Some animals are more equal than others...”

So far the 0bama administration seems to have just two concerns: bringing America socialism, and bringing America dhimmitude.
