Statement of Attorney General Eric Holder on Department of Justice’s Outreach and Enforcement Efforts to Protect American Muslims
Thursday, June 4, 2009
U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder released the following statement relating to President Obama’s historic speech today in Cairo, Egypt:
“The President’s pledge for a new beginning between the United States and the Muslim community takes root here in the Justice Department where we are committed to using criminal and civil rights laws to protect Muslim Americans. A top priority of this Justice Department is a return to robust civil rights enforcement and outreach in defending religious freedoms and other fundamental rights of all of our fellow citizens in the workplace, in the housing market, in our schools and in the voting booth.
“There are those who will continue to want to divide by fear - to pit our national security against our civil liberties - but that is a false choice. We have a solemn responsibility to protect our people while we also protect our principles.”

I don't get how they have any more or any less rights than the anyone else in this country. Baffling! It's just like that "law" trying to pass that if a victim is gay, and they are killed, the killer gets double trouble for a "hate" crime. Stupid. When is the legal system going to call a spade a spade? Murder is murder, irregardless of the motive.
This must be doublespeak for "Muslims are now more equal than other groups."
See you in the reeducation camps comrades.
