ABC News<\/a> posted an article yesterday about Attorney General Loretta Lynch’s remarks in response to the killings in San Bernardino this week. The Attorney General is prepared to take decisive action.<\/p>\n

The article reports<\/p>\n

U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch<\/a> pledged that the Department of Justice<\/a> will go after hate speech that might incite violence against the Muslim<\/a> community, she told a crowd of Muslim-Americans<\/a> and supporters Thursday night.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cObviously this is a country that is based on free speech,\u201d Lynch told the audience at the Muslim Advocates dinner in Arlington, VA<\/a>. \u201cBut when that edges towards violence\u2026we will take action.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Muslim Advocates, a legal advocacy group, asked Lynch to address concerns about an uptick in anti-Muslim rhetoric and hate crimes<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Since 9\/11, Lynch says that the Department of Justice has investigated more than 11,000 acts of anti-Muslim rhetoric, which have led to 45 prosecutions. \u201cI think sadly, that number is going to rise,\u201d said Lynch.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I truly believe that these people have their priorities backwards. She is prosecuting Americans for speech. Is she prosecuting those Muslims who are terrorists for their terrorism?<\/p>\n

As I have written before, one of the interim goals of that part of the Muslim population that espouses the idea of a world-side caliphate is to bring non-Muslims under Sharia Law<\/a>. Under Islam “Defamation of Islam” is a crime which can be punished by death. Defamation is defined as any statement the hearer regards as negative. Truth has no role in this decision. Under Sharia Law even the definition of slander is not concerned with truth–it is concerned with how the statement makes the hearer feel. Sharia Law and free speech are incompatible, and any attempt to limit free speech by anyone should be looked on very suspiciously.<\/p>\n

The article further reports:<\/p>\n

In recent weeks, Donald Trump advocated for a national registry of Muslim Americans<\/a> — which he later denied — and claimed that Muslims in New Jersey<\/a> celebrated after the September 11 attacks.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe demagoguery has to stop,\u201d Muslim American Congressman Andre Carson<\/a> (D-IN), who introduced Lynch, told ABC News. Carson said that public figures make these remarks because they \u201cget affirmation from being provocative.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The fist statement is an outright lie, aimed at the low-information voter (see transcript<\/a> of conversation that charge is taken from), the second statement has been documented to be true by Washington Post stories and videos taken from news reports at the time.<\/p>\n

The bottom line here is that you can defame anything you want under the First Amendment<\/a>. If you slander an individual, you may wind up in court; and if you slander a race, someone may decide you are an idiot, but you do have the First Amendment right to be an idiot if you choose to do so.<\/p>\n

The Attorney General is supposed to enforce the U.S. Constitution<\/a>–not undermine it. The Attorney General is the chief law enforcement officer of the country–it is his (or her) job to uphold the law and the U.S. Constitution–not make up her own law.<\/p>\n
