“The future must not belong to those who slander The Prophet” ~ Barack H Obama
For those that missed it, the above quote was spoken by the president of the United States to the UN assembly in the wake of the Benghazi attack. Look it up if you don’t believe me.
Granted, it was part of his subterfuge where he claimed the attack on Benghazi was the work of disgruntled movie critics, but it appears his DOJ is trying to go a step further and give the statement the force of law.
Here’s the report on Judicial Watch:
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.
The move comes a few years after the administration became the first in history to dispatch a U.S. Attorney General to personally reassure Muslims that the Department of Justice (DOJ) is dedicated to protecting them. In the unprecedented event, Attorney General Eric Holder assured a San Francisco-based organization (Muslim Advocates) that urges members not to cooperate in federal terrorism investigations that the “us versus them” environment created by the U.S. government, law enforcement agents and fellow citizens is unacceptable and inconsistent with what America is all about.
“Muslims and Arab Americans have helped build and strengthen our nation,” Holder said after expressing that he is “grateful” to have Muslims as a partner in promoting tolerance, ensuring public safety and protecting civil rights. He also vowed to strengthen “crucial dialogue” between Muslim and Arab-American communities and law enforcement.

Seriously, do the guys at DOJ even OWN a copy of the constitution?
Face it… the DOJ can’t unilaterally create a constitutional right for Muslims to never be offended. There’s case law involving other religions that confirms the government cannot tell citizens not to insult a religion.
And what the hell is “inflammatory against Muslims”? Muslims have murdered a boatload of citizens here. Nobody yells “Jesus loves me!” while flying planes into buildings or shooting up unarmed troops, and you don’t see people losing their legs at marathons for the glory of Buddah. On US soil, those actions are almost exclusively confined to Muslim radicals.

Is it now against the law to admit the truth?
Are we going to make it mandatory to follow the administrations candy-ass tactic of calling jihad “workplace violence” or “senseless killings”?
They can attempt to have a chilling affect on free speech if they have the nuts to take the consequences, but the 1st amendment trumps the will of Eric Holder, Barack Obama, or any of their slimy little minions. They start trying to prosecute people for speaking their mind about Islam, they can expect to lose the case AND their job.
And for the record…
Mohammed was a pedophile and Eric Holder is a cockwaffle.
Prosecute that, numbnuts.
Rob Jones for President 
If a Baptist started chopping Muslims heads there’d be Baptist every where looking to take ’em out. Muslims on the other hand hold parades. Screw ’em all. Bunch o goat molesters…
How’s that eric?

Wow. I know I take great delight in pointing out the many similarities of Eric Holder to Herr Goebbels, but dude! You’re really just making it too easy for me and it’s taking the fun out of it. Come to think of it, this whole den of vipers currently infesting the present administration are sorta Nazi retreads. They just don’t dress quite as snazzy.
As is usual, once again Herr Goebbels stomps all over the First Amendment and the entire concept of equal protection under the law. This lone example should serve to alert even the most dense of our citizenry that something is rotten in Denmark. When the nation’s chief law enforcement official advocates such a stunning affront to Constitutional Law, the thinking man would likely have him cuffed, double quick time.

Looks like the trial balloon has been floated by a US Atty in TN. Here’s a Politico post with a little detail. http://www.politico.com/blogs/under-the-radar/2013/05/feds-suggest-antimuslim-speech-can-be-punished-165163.html
It’s a slippery slope we do not want to traverse if we get into labeling things “hate” speech because it offends some religion. As a nation we’ve studiously avoided it in the past, and we need not start now. Speech is speech, whether it offends us or not.
Worth noting a coupla guys in the UK got thrown in the can right after the London beheadings for anti-muslim content they posted on FB.
I realize not all Muslims are out beheading people, and the actions of a guy in London do not mean the guy at Texaco is guilty. That doesn’t mean the federal government can jail people for errant FB posts. Bad way to go, and they know better.
