How is this any different than Islamic law in, say, Turkey (Obama's favorite and most trusted ally)?
In October, 43-year-old Fazil Say went on trial in Turkey for "denigrating" Islam for a series of tweets earlier that year. In one of his messages he had retweeted a verse from a poem by Omar Khayyám, in which the 11th-century Persian poet attacks pious hypocrisy. This is the same thing.
If the DoJ pursued the vicious, offensive, racist, antisemitic tweets directed at me (and others) by Muslims and leftists, they would be pursuing little else. But they wouldn't and they shouldn't.
Note to the Justice Department — we will fight you on this every step of the way. We will drag your dhimmi asses all the way to the Supreme Court. This is sharia enforcement, and we are not going to stand for it.

"DOJ: Social Media Posts Trashing Muslims May Violate Civil Rights" Judicial Watch, May 30, 2013 (thanks to Jane)
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.Evidently that was a precursor of sorts for an upcoming Tennessee
event (“Public Disclosure in a Diverse Society”) that will feature the
region’s top DOJ official, who serves as U.S. Attorney for the Eastern
District of Tennessee, and an FBI representative. The goal is to
increase awareness and understanding that American Muslims are not the
terrorists some have made them out to be in social media and other
circles, according to a local newspaper report. The June 4 powwow is sponsored by the American Muslim Advisory Council of Tennessee.The area’s top federal prosecutor, Bill Killian, will address a topic
that most Americans are likely unfamiliar with, even those well versed
on the Constitution; that federal civil rights laws can actually be
violated by those who post inflammatory documents aimed at Muslims on
social media. “This is an educational effort with civil rights laws as
they play into freedom of religion and exercising freedom of religion,”
Killian says in the local news story. “This is also to inform the public
what federal laws are in effect and what the consequences are.”
The DOJ political appointee adds in the article that the upcoming
presentation will also focus on Muslim culture with a special emphasis
on the fact that the religion is no different from others, even though
some in the faith have committed terrorist acts, Christians have done
the same. As an example he offers that the worst terrorist attack in the
U.S. prior to 9/11 was committed by American Christians in Oklahoma
City. He also mentioned the Wisconsin Sikh temple shooting last year in
which another Christian, an American white supremacist, fatally shot six
people and wounded four others.
“Some of the finest people I’ve met are Muslims,” Killian said,
adding later: “We want to inform everybody about what the law is, but
more importantly, we want to provide what the law means to Muslims,
Hindus and every other religion in the country. It’s why we came here in
the first place. In England, they were using Christianity to further
their power in government. That’s why the First Amendment is there.”
Over the years the Obama administration has embarked on a fervent
crusade to befriend Muslims by creating a variety of outreach programs
at a number of key federal agencies. For instance the nation’s Homeland
Security covertly met with a group of extremist Arab, Muslim and Sikh
organizations to discuss national security matters and the State
Department sent a controversial, anti-America Imam (Feisal Abdul Rauf)
to the Middle East to foster greater understanding and outreach among
Muslim majority communities.
The Obama Administration has also hired a special Homeland Security
adviser (Mohamed Elibiary) who openly supports a radical Islamist
theologian and renowned jihadist ideologue and a special Islam envoy
that condemns U.S. prosecutions of terrorists as “politically motivated
persecutions” and has close ties to radical extremist groups.
The president has even ordered the National Aeronautics and Space
Administration (NASA) to shift its mission from space exploration to
Muslim diplomacy and the government started a special service that
delivers halal meals, prepared according to Islamic law, to home-bound
seniors in Detroit. Who could forget Hillary Clinton’s special order
allowing the reentry of two radical Islamic academics whose terrorist
ties have long banned them from the U.S.?

“The area’s top federal prosecutor, Bill Killian, will address a topic that most Americans are likely unfamiliar with, even those well versed on the Constitution.”
Will he?
I doubt that, given, the Constitution the nation of Muhammad regards and thus follows is that provided in “the Book of Allah,” which includes the explanations of Qur’an provide to us in the Sunnah of the “Prophet.”
“Sacred Texts” assert thus confirm that.
Is Killian fixing to dive in to those? I doubt it. But if so, let’s do it.

Holder is putting a price on our heads, convicting his enemies the Christians, mainly older white men, his lifetime’s battle. holder is a racist , I guess saying the truth is a crime to a racist idiot like him. holder’s the guy in power who said racist laws only apply to whites, Holder is a walking moron, only where he is because of his hatred of white people, he’s surrounded by like minded creeps. Obama’s team is pure evil, they laugh and lie, it’s their way, playing with words to skew real reasoning, to create chaos.
That’s my natural born opinion, from a logical point of view, might I say.

9 of 10 horrendous attacks on American soil have been by muslims, most Saudi. American Muslims say nothing because their Koran teaches that the only good Christian or Jew is a dead one. Muslims are a spreading cancer and we need some chemo here before they get going. Let this criminal Obama administration ram it where the sun don’t shine.

So, what does the Bill of Rights have to say about what may or may not be said in the USA?
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”
No, it doesn’t say free exercise of religion should abridge freedom of speech and so it doesn’t seem Mr. Holder has a Constitutional leg to stand on unless he can defend the notion that social media text commentary is not a form of speech. In that event, people should simply create Vlogs so they can speak their comments instead of presenting their comments as written text.
Unless the Supreme Court goes nuts, Holder won’t win a Constitutional battle on this one.

The Obama Islamic *Jizia / Tax*…..The Obama Islamic *Taqqiyah / LIE*…..and the Obama Islamic *Subjection / humiliation and submission *
of America by Bob Nordberg……….
Is Obama following his Islamic teachings with what he is doing?
What I will show you below is the way Islam and the Koran teaches how “humiliation and submission” are used to beat down the non believer!
I will also show that indeed Obama did attend ” Koran study classes” according to the New York Times
America is now a Nation where Christians Jews and other “non believer” ie conservative / Tea Party types are treated like Infidels living in a Islamic Nation who forgot to pay the Jiza…aka *Jew / Christian punishment Tax*….
Islam and ‘SUBJECTION’……. “the jizya is a ” per capital tax levied on a section of an Islamic state’s (( Non-Muslim)) citizens” jizya was a material proof of the non-Muslims’ acceptance of ((( subjection ))) to the state and its laws, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jizya
What Obama is doing to America is exactly what the Koran (he studied) teaches to do to non believers.
Islamic Nations like the members of the OIC have treated non Muslims exactly like Obama, Holder, Hillary, and Valerie Jarrett are treating American Jews, Christians and other Americans who names pop up on their Hate Target List because they Love America…It’s Founders….or it’s Constitution…And the rights we hold dear that so many who came before us shed their Blood to protect. http://www.answering-islam.org/NonMuslims/rights.htm
(( TAQQIYAH ))
Obama was taught “Koranic Studies according to NY Times….
I believe Obama holds the TAQQYAH verses of the Koran very dear http://www.nytimes.com/2007/03/06/opinion/06kristof.html?_r=1& (( TAQQIYAH )) This is the art of lying taught to Students like Obama on how to deceive non believers………….. http://wikiislam.net/wiki/Lying_and_Deception_in_Islam
Is Lying so easy because it was taught to Obama in his “Koran Studies”?….
Lying to non believers is more than ok for Muslims
Is Obama, Holder following his Islamic teachings with non stop LIE LIE LIE with zero remorse ?
This form of Lying is taught in Islamic schools like the one Obama attended in Jakarta India ” Taqiya / Tuqya / Taqqiyah” When there is a obvious …non stop Lying that America has never seen the likes of before …..This is in your face out and out lying
Who said Obama went to Islamic Schools and studied the Koran ?……The N Y Times did when they Quoted Obama himself ““He once got in trouble for making faces during Koran study classes in his elementary school,” (LINK BELOW)
Mr. Obama recalled the opening lines of the Arabic call to prayer, reciting them with a first-rate accent. In a remark that seemed delightfully uncalculated (it’ll give Alabama voters heart attacks), Mr. Obama described the call to prayer as “one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset.”
20 years Obama went to sit in Rev Wright’s sick anti American pews
Let’s not forget Obama’s so called ‘Pastor’ was also a convert from Islam
http://infidelsarecool.com/2008/03/rev-wright-got-his-masters-degree-in-islam-in-west-africa/
I can’t say if Obama learned how to treat Americans like a Infidel living in a Islamic State who did not pay the Jiza in Jakarta or Chicago…..All I know is he is the master at bringing “humiliation and submission” to AMERICA….
When not one person in our Government is holding Eric Holder accountable….Do you feel “subjected” or “subjection”….
When the ((Entire World)) knew the attack in Libya was not about a Video a Coptic Christian made….But for weeks Obama / Hillary and Rice went on the Air over and over during a Presidential Debate and did it to our face…….I am not sure about you….but I fight the feeling of being ‘SUBJECTED’
Their is a persecuted Coptic Christian in a AMERICAN JAIL for making a You tube Video no one saw and was wrongly blamed for killing 4 Americans…….Do you think he is tired of paying the Obama *Jiza*?
Do you think he is tired of Obama’s *TAQQYAH*
While Obama… falsely….(Lied) blamed a Coptic Christian for the 911 attack….While praising Islam as one of the ”Worlds Great Religions” Was a word said about how the 10 Million Coptic Christians like the Jews in Hitlers early Germany? http://www.examiner.com/article/presidential-elections-egypt-and-human-rights-of-coptic-christians-1
How is it going for the Coptic Christians Obama ***LIED*** about to America?…
” Present situation:
“The Egyptian government discriminates against the Copts and hampers their freedom of worship: it enforces onerous restrictions on building or repairing churches; applies religiously discriminatory laws and practices concerning family law, conversion, and education; restricts Copts from senior government, military, and educational positions; and subsidizes media which are used to attack Copts.
The police at the local level frequently harass and sometimes even persecute Christians, particularly converts. In 1998, police detained up to 1200 Copts in the village of el-Kosheh. Many were tortured, beaten and subjected to electric shock. This is exacerbated by terrorist violence and the imposition of an extortionate jizya “tax” on thousands of Copts, primarily in Upper Egypt. According to the International Coptic Federation, the situation facing Copts in Egypt has worsened over the past three decades.” 1
A Muslim who converts to Coptic Christianity may be forced to divorce his/her spouse. Although the government contributes financially to the construction of mosques and pays the salaries of Muslim clerics, no such aid is given to Copts. Rather, even the most trivial maintenance projects in churches or church-owned buildings require a building permit to be signed by the President. Many such applications have been delayed for decades. Copts are restricted from senior government, military, educational, and diplomatic positions.
A full report of the tragedy in Egypt can be found in the Egypt Report by the Center for Religious Freedom. They have a mail-in order form accessible from their web site at: http://freedomhouse.org/religion/ ” http://www.religioustolerance.org/rt_egypt.htm#
What Obama said (lied about) in front of the UN fully knowing it was a Lie….repeated the same Lie over and over…
Obama’s actions were the cause of…. MORE…. attacks on US interest around the globe by Lying about the Coptic video especially in the UN
…….Not ”if’…but ”WHEN”
Obama was taught the art of “subjection” when the current leader of America went to Islamic School (link below)_…Or …maybe you think Obama learned this Islamic Decption from Rev. Wright who like our President both converted from Islam…… http://www.noquarterusa.net/blog/2132/jeremiah-wright-was-a-muslim-why-that-matters/
How do even so called ”peaceful Muslims punish non Muslims?……A: JIZYA is just one way………..the jizya is a ” per capital tax levied on a section of an Islamic state’s(( non-Muslim)) citizens” jizya was a material proof of the non-Muslims’ acceptance of subjection to the state and its laws, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jizya
” Paying the Jizya is a symbol of humiliation and submission ”
Practicing this “Islam” Law in the US is a RICO (ORGANISED CRIME) VIOLATION!

except when it comes to the Islamic faith.

To hell with the Constitution and freedom of speech offending Moslems should be criminalized as hate speech-except when they use it trashing infidels as they are victims lashing out justifiably. But the more this imbecile brown noses the faith the more believers have contempt for him for the useful leftist idiot he is. What a disgrace!

Shouting fire in a crowded theater
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article may contain original research. Please improve it by verifying the claims made and adding inline citations. Statements consisting only of original research may be removed. (June 2012)
“Shouting fire in a crowded theater” is a popular metaphor for speech or actions made for the principal purpose of creating unnecessary panic. The phrase is a paraphrasing of Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.’s opinion in the United States Supreme Court case Schenck v. United States in 1919, which held that the defendant’s speech in opposition to the draft during World War I was not protected free speech under the First Amendment to the United States Constitution.
The paraphrasing does not generally include the word “falsely”, i.e., “falsely shouting fire in a crowded theater”, which was the original wording used in Holmes’s opinion and highlights that speech which is dangerous and false, as opposed to speech which is truthful but also dangerous.

The Schenck case [edit]
Holmes, writing for a unanimous Court, ruled that it was a violation of the Espionage Act of 1917 (amended with the Sedition Act of 1918), to distribute flyers opposing the draft during World War I. Holmes argued this abridgment of free speech was permissible because it presented a “clear and present danger” to the government’s recruitment efforts for the war. Holmes wrote:
The most stringent protection of free speech would not protect a man falsely shouting fire in a theater and causing a panic. […] The question in every case is whether the words used are used in such circumstances and are of such a nature as to create a clear and present danger that they will bring about the substantive evils that Congress has a right to prevent.
Holmes wrote of falsely shouting fire, because, of course, if there were a fire in a crowded theater, one may rightly indeed shout “Fire!”; one may, depending on the law in operation, even be obliged to. Falsely shouting “Fire!” in a crowded theater, i.e. shouting “Fire!” when one believes there to be no fire in order to cause panic, was interpreted not to be protected by the First Amendment.
The First Amendment holding in Schenck was later overturned by Brandenburg v. Ohio in 1969, which limited the scope of banned speech to that which would be directed to and likely to incite imminent lawless action (e.g. a riot). The test in Brandenburg is the current High Court jurisprudence on the ability of government to proscribe speech after that fact. Despite Schenck being limited, the phrase “shouting fire in a crowded theater” has since come to be known as synonymous with an action that the speaker believes goes beyond the rights guaranteed by free speech, reckless or malicious speech, or an action whose outcomes are blatantly obvious.

We’re now starting to hear about possible coming laws against our Freedom of Speech, mainly to do with criticizing or speaking out against Islam, even if you speak the truth it won’t matter. We have heard and seen through News groups for years of Christian’s and others around the world being persecuted by Muslim’s in the name of Islam, now at some point we are going to experience it for ourselves. The writing was on the wall, if We The People don’t make a stand against those elected Representatives who through their agenda will trample on our 1st. and 2nd. Amendment Rights, we will lose our Liberties and Freedoms. President Obama said in his book (not verbatim) “If the Political winds should shift in an ugly direction, I will stand with the Muslims”. Where will you stand? God Bless America, the NRA and all Real Freedom Fighting Patriots.

One doesn’t even have to make up sh!t on Islam. Just repeat their own unquestioned dogma. It is ridiculous enough. Let them calling the their “truth” hate.

Is this in a Hadith? If not just use one of the ridiculous quotes that are in it. I wouldn’t doubt it. I just don’t remember Dragons in any of my readings. Just mostly evil Jinn.

If this policy is only directed at those who “defame” Islam then that would make Islam a state sponsored religion. “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion. . . .” But I guess the ‘executive branch’ is allowed? Try it Obama and see what happens.

There are a few issues with the inclusion of Sharia law into the American Jurisprudence structure.
1) The US Constitution won’t uphold it. The Judicial branch, not to be confused with the Department of Justice which in the Executive branch, does not get to dictate what laws are used and what laws are not. For Sharia to work it requires clerics to dictate the “thinking”; the highest Court in the United States is the Supreme Court and unlike England where the House of Lords can overturn a decision they do not like that does not exist in the United States, likewise, if the Imams as a whole do not like a decision then it’s best they stick to one of the 57 Islamic countries that recognize that authority.
2) For this to work it would require that the 1.4 million licensed attorneys in the United States to be licensed to practice Sharia. It would require the Congress and the several states (3/4th of the union) to go along with this. If you thought the NRA yields power, try the ABA.
3) Given the liberal rant of “freedom from religion” and that Sharia is Islamic law whose origins is the Qu’ran, a Muslims holy book, and effectively by the word of God it would mean that these very same liberals would need to accept religion in the courtrooms: this case tried by US law, that case tried by Sharia, some other case involving both. Try explaining this to the jury of your peers as required by the Constitution; and then there are the appeals and the chaos that would create.
Let’s consider something here, when you look up Barack Hussein Obama’s license to practice law you learn that it was voluntarily surrendered. While William Clinton held the office of President his license to practice law was in effect, not so with Obama’s. The reason any attorney would voluntarily surrender his or her license to practice (Michele Obama is in the same boat classification) goes something like this: we have a solid case against you for some violation so we will give you the opportunity to voluntarily surrender your license or we will proceed against you.
Barack Hussein Obama would like you to embrace Sharia, so ask yourself this one question: Would you trust someone who’s license to practice law has been voluntarily surrendered? Yet if you are one of those that voted for him what will come when someone you know is in a case where Sharia is the law that governs? While you have been trampling the Constitution, it will be interesting how fast you look to it for protecting your freedoms that you have given up.
Freedoms given up to government are lost and you do not get them back.
