"...the Justice Department where we are committed to using criminal and civil rights laws to protect Muslim Americans"
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."

“I’m beginning that the adminstration is telling the truth that it wasn’t bow. Everyone was agasp in the video because he actually “kissed the ring” IMO.”
You’re right. Fixed.

and now...
26. Special rights of protection to “American muslims” as promulgated by the Attorney General.
AARGHH..
Copy-pasted the wrong version. Add the following:
27. Acquiesces to the Iranians, stating they have a “right to have nuclear power.”
“I liked your list so much that.........I used it. Hope that’s ok.”
You betcha it is. It’s for the use of all.
But be sure to add #27, too.
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.
The Egyptian daily Rose Al-Youssef proclaimed after Obama's speech in a bright red headline "Beautiful words, now action"...
...they have their answer!
PROTECT MUSLIMS??????!!!!!!!!!!!!
WTH???!!! (I can’t post the explicative I would really like to use)
LMAO!!
You expect Steele to do something? LOL
Yes and crickets on Long’s murder out of DOJ.
bttt
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.
We’ve got THE fallback position, though.
NEVER give up your firearms.
