After the San Bernardino shooting, Obama’s attorney general Loretta Lynch said,
“Now obviously this is a country that is based on free speech, but when it edges towards violence, when we see the potential for someone lifting that mantle of anti-Muslim rhetoric or, as we saw after 9/11, violence against individuals… when we see that, we will take action.”
Whenever radical uslims kill people, like clockwork, the Obama administration immediately just to the defense of Muslims, not the people who were killed.
It’s disgusting.
In this case, it was also puzzling because violence against Muslims is already illegal. So is incitement of violence against specific Muslims.
“I think Islam has a real freaking problem, alright?” Former Illinois Rep. Joe Walsh said in a video posted to his Facebook page. “There is a cancer in Islam, and if they’re not going to learn to assimilate, I don’t want them in this country.”
“You got a problem, Loretta Lynch, with me saying that? Then throw me in jail,” Walsh, a conservative talk show host, argued. “I think Islam is evil. I think Islam has a huge problem. I think most Muslims around the world are not compatible with American values. I don’t want them here.”
…“Any Muslim that is a terrorist or supports terrorism should be killed,” Walsh wrote. “If ‘Moderate’ Muslims don’t speak out against terrorism, they are our enemy and we should call them out and kick them out of this country.”
“Is that ‘anti-Muslim rhetoric’ that ‘edges toward violence,’” he continued. “Go ahead and prosecute me. I dare you.”
Muslims are killing us in the streets. I am unafraid to tell the truth. C’mon Loretta Lynch, ARREST ME!
Is that too harsh? Maybe, but worse things are said about Christians in this country every day of the week, often by the same people who go out of their minds if you point out that Islam is not a “Religion of Peace.” When politicians deny the truth and try to make what many people think impossible to discuss in polite company, there’s going to be angry backlash, especially when Americans are quite literally dying because we’re not having a serious discussion.
