DOJ: Social Media Posts Trashing Muslims May Violate Civil Rights

My free speech is not negotiable.

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.

Are you scared yet? You should be. This isn’t islamophobia or fear mongering, this is a blatant infringement of  The Bill of Rights – YOUR First Amendment right to free speech and free press. We can not allow this to happen…ever.

First Amendment freedoms are most in danger when the government seeks to control thought or to justify its laws for that impermissible end. The right to think is the beginning of freedom, and speech must be protected from the government because speech is the beginning of thought.
When the public’s right to know is threatened, and when the rights of free speech and free press are at risk, all our other liberties are endangered.

We’re sliding down that slippery slope and fast.
As Americans, this shouldn’t even be open for debate.

We already have laws in place for extending protections-
As originally intended, freedom of speech never meant a perversion of polite society. You can’t disturb a religious service with impunity, for example, and of course deliberately creating a panic by falsely shouting fire in a crowded theater is not a freedom of speech issue, but an incitement to riot. Free speech is meant to protect unpopular speech.

It’s already happened in the UK. – A 22-year-old man has been charged on suspicion of making malicious comments on Facebook following the murder of British soldier Lee Rigby. Benjamin Flatters, from Lincoln, was arrested last night after complaints were made to Lincolnshire Police about comments made on Facebook, which were allegedly of a racist or anti-religious nature. He was charged with an offense of malicious communications this afternoon in relation to the comments, a Lincolnshire Police spokesman said.

Two other men from the UK were released on bail by British authorities after anti-Islam/Muslim/Terrorist comments on Twitter. British Police had nothing to say to Muslims if they attempted any copycat terrorist attacks, but warned other people to be careful about what they write on twitter. Police say ‘consequences could be serious.’

Posting your opinion on Facebook, a Tweet or even a blog post and you can face criminal charges. Is that what you want here? It’s not such a big imaginary leap to being dragged out of your home in the middle of the night for being critical of our government.

Woolrich Jihadist- “We are forced by the Qur’an”

The unedited version.
Michael Adebolajomur murdered 25 year old British soldier Drummer Lee Rigby. He calmly tries to justify his actions by citing the koran.

Transcript:

The only reason we have killed this man today is because Muslims are dying daily by British soldiers. And this British soldier is one.
It is an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.
By Allah, we swear by the almighty Allah we will never stop fighting you until you leave us alone.

So what if we want to live by the Shari’a in Muslim lands? Why does that mean you must follow us and chase us and call us extremists and kill us?
Rather you lot are extreme. You are the ones that when you drop a bomb you think it hits one person? Or rather your bomb wipes out a whole family? This is the reality.
By Allah if I saw your mother today with a buggy I would help her up the stairs. This is my nature.
But we are forced by the Qur’an, in Sura At-Tawba, through many ayah in the Qu’ran, we must fight them as they fight us. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.

I apologise that women had to witness this today but in our lands women have to see the same. You people will never be safe. Remove your governments, they don’t care about you. You think David Cameron is going to get caught in the street when we start busting our guns? You think politicians are going to die? No, it’s going to be the average guy, like you and your children. So get rid of them. Tell them to bring our troops back so can all live in peace. So leave our lands and we can all live in peace. That’s all I have to say. [in Arabic:] Allah’s peace and blessings be upon you.

British Terrorist Isn’t The Only One Justifying His Brutality

By now, most everyone has seen the horrific video of  Michael Adebolajo just moments after butchering 25 year old British soldier Drummer Lee Rigby. He calmly tries to justify his actions…

But he’s not the only one … Meet Anjem Choudary – Choudary is a  British former solicitor and former spokesperson for the  Islamist group Islam4UK before it was disbanned.  He’s also a vocal critic of the UK’s involvement in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and has praised the terrorists involved in the September 11th attacks on the World Trade Center and the London bombings  in July 2005.  He believes in the implementation of Sharia law throughout the UK. Choudary is also a fan of Adebolajo.

I’m still waiting for the public outrage from the Islamic community over this heinous act, but so far, all I hear are crickets.
