Bill Killian, a US attorney, claims that anti-Muslim speech violates Muslim’s Constitutional rights. Therefore, he argues, it should be illegal and punishable by law.
Killian said, “We need to educate people about Muslims and their civil rights, and as long as we’re here, they’re going to be protected.”
At this time, Obama’s DOJ is working to determine what, exactly, is considered illegal speech against Muslims. Guidelines and specific laws are expected to come soon. Currently, the government is not allowed to prevent speech that is hateful towards a religion, unless a specific threat is made. To prevent speech that is hostile towards a religion is a violation of the First Amendment. The government is allowed to urge people to not engage in such speech — it just cannot punish people for doing so.
If the DOJ does decide to make anti-Muslim speech punishable by law, it could mark the beginning of significantly increased government power.
Bob Killian might be a US attorney, but he’s no American.
Don’t let our Constitution get in their way.
Right?
Not only will I refuse to obey it, I will VERY publicly violate it, DARING them to arrest and punish me.
You beat me to it. Do these idiots think that there is no one left who will willingly fight and die for liberty in the face of domestic totalitarianism? The theocracy will not stand in this country. We won’t be bound by sharia and it will be they who bend to OUR culture on this soil.
One can denigrate any religion with low class name calling and vulgarity, but if one want to intellectually challenge the tenets or veracity of Islam in an intellectual or academic manner—I guess that will be out of bounds.
If you are quoting the Koran it means you touched it with your unclean infidel hands. You must die. Goony goo hoo!
It will only be a temporary thing. Revolt is coming and it has started.
I have a few choice words for Muslims who want to restrict my free speech and most of them are 4 letters long
I hope they go for it 100% - this country needs a good purge that can only take place in the form of a Civil War.
” If the DOJ does decide to make anti-Muslim speech punishable by law, it could mark the beginning of significantly increased government power. “
Gee, you think????
Of course at one time we did have a “Fairness Doctrine” so I guess anything is possible when it comes to abridging the 1st amendment...
“First they came for the Jews......”
Ping for The Roverend Bones.
I don’t.
I think he simply hates Christ.
All persons within US borders, citizens or not, shall be free of insults, hurt feelings, jokes, any commentary deemed offensive & insensitive. Mean looks & stink eye are also deemed offensive and are prohibited behavior. All persons, this day forward, shall be free from being offended.
This amendment supersedes Bill of Rights #1 from this day forward.
I guess it is best not to say anything bad about HomoHamHead.
Obama has repeatedly used the phrase “the holy koran”. Has he EVER uttered the phrase “the holy Bible”?
It sure will
