Eric Holder DOJ – dissing Muslims on social media may violate civil rights
2015-01-12
Hand out fliers about the Federal Reserve devaluing our currency, get handcuffed and get arrested. Now, it appears if you speak negatively about Muslims on social media, Eric Holder and his DOJ may come after you for a civil rights violation. Welcome to Obamaville where the First Amendment is just a memory.

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.
Fool or enabler. Inquiring minds want to know.
