It appears that the Department of Justice is of the mindset that to speak out publicly against the Muslim religion should not be a First Amendment right.
Bill Killian, U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Tennessee....has generated outrage by vowing to use federal civil rights laws to punish those making critical comments about Islam.
A local paper reports that Killian and Kenneth Moore, special agent in charge of the FBI?s Knoxville, Tennessee, Division, are speaking at a public event and ?will provide input on how civil rights can be violated by those who post inflammatory documents targeted at Muslims on social media.?
A U.S. Attorney usually prosecutes offenses such as foreign terrorism, child pornography, violent crimes and drug trafficking. But Killian told the local paper that civil rights laws can have certain ?consequences? for the First Amendment right of free speech. The paper said, ?Killian said Internet postings that violate civil rights are subject to federal jurisdiction.?
