Obama and Holder to Make Insulting Islam a Violation of Civil Rights

[jordan179]

Obama's Justice Department has warned that using social media to spread information considered inflamatory to Muslims could constitute a violation of civil rights.  Since I am living in the United States of America, where my freedom of speech is guaranteed by the First Amendment, I have the following comment to make regarding this policy.

I think you might have meant to type "centuries" instead of "millenia" (or maybe you are trying to make a point I'm unaware of).

1.4 millennia would be accurate but not as good as 14 centuries. ;)

Allah like every other god is the invisible friend of people with varying degrees of insanity. There I've insulted most of the human race. Have a riot over it so I can let off some stress from a rooftop.

Not really, since religions teach different things. What's important is which religion has evidence to back up its claims.

One key difference is my religion does not command me to kill you, threaten you, hate you or harm you in any way for saying this.

My evidence, Infidel, lies in the long train of ruined empires who dared to oppose the will of the True God Allah -- the shattered shrines, the wailing women enslaved to be the bedslaves of the Faithful. Lo, even now Europe has almost crumbled, and America is crumbling, before the will of Allah!

(this line of reasoning is exactly why we need to be inflicting frequent, destructive and humiliating military defeats upon them, so as to rub it into them that they are not winning. Appeasement is the worst possible strategy against an aggressor who believes that successful might demonstrates divine right).

I'd love to think they are not winning. But it sure doesn't look that way as we continue to see countries, groups and individuals caving to the demands of sharia - whether by force or just willingly.

Don't get me wrong, I wholeheartedly agree with your solution. But you have to wonder who in the world (literally!) is left who has the moral will to do it.

Once upon a time, it would have been America.

No religion teaches anything not tainted by their imaginary invisible friend.

Nice way to ignore the factual statement I made.

I have neither time nor patience for silliness like this.

You're right -- thanks for pointing this out! :)
