I strongly urge every Atlas reader, twitter and Facebook friend who can be in Tennessee to join us in a major demonstration for free speech on June 4th at 5:30pm Manchester-Coffee County Conference Center, 147 Hospitality Blvd, in Manchester, Tennessee. Change your plans, get off from work — go. Tweet it, Facebook share, get the word out. You must stand up. Now. No one is going to do this for you. Only YOU can save you.

AFDI, SIOA, and other major organizations will be rallying for free speech. On June 4th, an event titled "Public Disclosure in a Diverse Society" will be held from 6:30 PM to 8:30 PM at the Manchester-Coffee County Conference Center, 147 Hospitality Blvd, in Manchester, Tennessee. Speakers for the event are Bill Killian, U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Tennessee and the FBI special agent who runs the Knoxville office.

Plan on attending the meeting in Manchester. Don't think that this is just going to go away. They have declared war on our very freedoms. While we still have freedom of speech, we must use it. Bring FREE SPEECH signs. Peaceful resistance.

Obama's DOJ Sharia Offensive: Social Media posts offending Muslims violate Civil Rights

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.

Feds suggest anti-Muslim speech can be punished Bryan Tau, Politico, May 31, 2013

A U.S. attorney in Tennessee is reportedly vowing to use federal
civil rights statutes to clamp down on offensive and inflammatory speech
about Islam.

Bill Killian, U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Tennessee, was quoted by the Tullahoma News this week suggesting that some inflammatory material on Islam might run afoul of federal civil rights laws.

"We need to educate people about Muslims and their civil rights, and
as long as we’re here, they’re going to be protected," Killian told the
newspaper.

Killian, along with the FBI special agent that runs the Knoxville
office, are set to speak next week to a special meeting with the local
Muslim community, informing them about their rights under federal law.

"This is an educational effort with civil rights laws as they play
into freedom of religion and exercising freedom of religion," Killian
said about the meeting. "This is also to inform the public what federal
laws are in effect and what the consequences are."

Killian pointed to a recent controversy
where a local Tennessee politician posted a photo of a man aiming a
shotgun at the camera with the caption "How to wink at a Muslim."

"If a Muslim had posted ‘How to Wink at a Christian,’ could you
imagine what would have happened?" Killian asked, according to the
newspaper.

The Department of Justice did not respond Friday to a question about
what guidelines it draws concerning offensive speech and Islam, or
whether the department believes that civil rights statutes could be used
to stifle criticism of Islam.

While threats directed at individuals or small groups can lead to
punishment, First Amendment experts expressed doubt that the government
has any power to stop offensive material about Islam from circulating.

"He’s just wrong," said Floyd Abrams, one of the country's most
respected First Amendment attorneys. "The government may, indeed, play a
useful and entirely constitutional role in urging people not to engage
in speech that amounts to religious discrimination. But it may not,
under the First Amendment, prevent or punish speech even if it may be
viewed as hostile to a religion."

"And what it most clearly may not do is to stifle political or social
debate, however rambunctious or offensive some may think it is," Abrams
said.

A conservative watchdog group, Judicial Watch, accused the Obama
administration of using federal law to specifically protect Muslims from
criticism.

"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 group wrote in a blog post.

In recent years, the federal government has faced difficult questions
about how to respond to material posted about Islam and the Prophet
Muhammed — especially when the content causes riots or attacks abroad.

In 2010, a Christian pastor in Florida, Terry Jones, made
international news when he threatened to burn 200 copies of the Koran on
the ninth anniversary of the September 11th attacks.

The federal government admitted it was powerless to stop Jones,
though President Barack Obama condemned the idea. Jones backed off from
his September attempt, but later burned a Koran in 2012.

A similar controversy erupted when a Coptic Christian man posted the
trailer for an anti-Muhammed film online — causing rioting and an attack
on the U.S. Embassy in Cairo.

The Obama administration condemned the attack, while blasting the filmmaker for religious intolerance.

American Rattlesnake is getting the word out.

I once showed a Muslim woman one of those whitewashed Qur’ans CAIR gave away for free. We were in my home. She told me that I had to place my free Qur’an above all the other books in my bookcase. I let her know what I thought of her suggestion by dropping it on the floor and stepping on it.

Obama’s DOJ wants to diminish the right to free and critical political speech? Time to impeach Barrack Obama. Call or e-mail Congress and ask your representative to file articles of impeachment against Obama. Obama, through his DOJ, has willingly violated his oath of office to “protect and defend the Constitution of The United States”.

I hope somebody asks Bill Killian about Koran 98:6 where it says that non-believers are the vilest of creatures. I know it would be OK for a Muslim to walk around carrying a sign quoting Koran 98:6, and I also know what would happen to a non-believer who walked around carrying a sign that switched non-believer to Muslims.

“If a Muslim had posted ‘How to Wink at a Christian,’ could you imagine what would have happened?” — Probably not much. After all, when Muslims attack and kill Christians or Jews, the dhimmicrats’s first response is rushing to make sure that Muslims are protected from an imaginary backlash.

That could probably get you arrested in some formerly enlightened countries — including the very birthplace of civil libertarianism.
It’s astonishing that Muslims actually believe that the rest of us are all obligated to follow their own crazy superstitions — but they’re not obligated to follow our beliefs. Funny how that works.

The whole world has been taught lesson
About goodrnes of Islam so that terrorist is
defeat.. It was increase because of hate speech
Like you pamela and he likes.
Islam has given world peace from Indonesia to
Europe and is coming to USA for good.
Only through ISlam can civilization flourish
and has been shown again and again that wherever
Muslim resides in any country.. Cultures. Flourish.
Obama is doing to enrich USA .. we must support
Him.. Maybe you all should convert to ISlam

Burning the Koran does not cause them to be violent. That mans video had NOTHING to do with the murders in Egypt. Hate filled zealots who believe that killing those who do not follow their religion caused all of it. I don’t see anyone protecting Christians from hate speech or having their beliefs demeaned and criticized. If the Muslims don’t like it–tough!

obama’s is the proof we need, that islam is attempting to destroy us from within, we must let him expose himself, and when he does maybe the proper things will get done to protect our Countries from the scourge of islam, they even have a 72 virgins and boys bounty on our heads, no one says anything about that, I think a wanted poster with REWARD 72 VIRGINS FOT THE HEADS OF INFIDELS should be mailed to every congressman.
obama’s destiny is his own. islam is God’s warning to us how important Jesus’ message is, we can see the fruit of mohamheads work, and it is perverted, mysogynistic, and against the Rule of Love.

I can’t believe that you can be so naive…hold it, yes I can believe it. You have to be an idiot to believe Islam is ,a peace-loving religion when all we hear from radical muslims who actually control Islam is that Jews, Christians, gays, adulterers(women) must be stoned to death if they and any other so-called “infidels” don’t comply with Islam. If Obama is your leaNing shoulder then, he has betrayed the office and constitution because Islam brand of religion does not tolerate the existence of other religions, not to mention that sharia law is totally against American law. If you can’t keep sharia in the countr y of your origin and you can’t tolerate an individuals right to believe or not, then get out of this country and may God bless you. We would love to have you stay, if you can live in harmony with us as each is entitled to in America in ones own way. In the end,I am certain that you will likely be converted to christianity. We believe in spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ, but we don’t kill you if you reject him. Those that claimed to be Christians and forced muslims and Jews to convert or face death were not Christians at all, no matter what you might have been told. They were doing the work of the devil, they were not abiding by what Jesus teaches. Muslims shouldn’t continue to use that excuse as a reason to be violent with others just as African-Americans can’t keep using slavery as an excuse for not getting ahead today. We all must move on and we have to take responsibility for our own actions. I’m Puerto Rican. If I used what the US did to my people in the early 1900s as an excuse for self-destruction,i wouldn’t be able to call Jesus my savior. You got me going, my Muslim friend. Whoa!

20,996 ISLAMIC terrorist attacks worldwide, against innocent people everywhere, just since 9/11. All perpetrated in the name of your murdering, pedophile “prophet”, and your ridiculous “god.” Beheadings, amputations, crucifixions, hangings, stonings, clitorectomies, honor killings, acid attacks, rapes, murders, pedophilia, slavery, necrophilia, bestiality and even cannabalism, and all the rest of the abhorent, savage behavior in the name of your stupid, murdering, vicious ideology. I cannot even call it a religion. There is NOTHING good or redeeming in Islam. NOTHING. Islam = death.
There’s a reason Charles “The Hammer” Martel rose up in his time. To beat back the Muslim hordes from whence they came, because the Muslim hordes wanted to dominate and subjugate everything and everyone. They lost in his day, and you will lose in this day. A new day is coming for you, Mohd ISlam. This century’s version of Charles Martel is going to rise up.
The people in my country, and all western societies want you and your ilk to either integrate and assimilate properly into your host countries and become productive, viable citizens, or get the F’ out. Don’t want to play nice? Then crawl back to whatever cave in whatever Islamic hellhole you came from. You and your ilk are NOT gaining peoples’ favor, believe me. You are only hurting yourselves. Keep up your current muzzie BS and you and all your muzzie buddies are going to end up getting the full-on, in your face, grade A, Charles Martel treatment. It’s coming. A new day is coming.

When we are majority ISlam will ensure all
People of the world integrate to ISlamic law and that
Is sharia… So that is integration in Islamic term.
Say why ever you want.. Islam will win but you
Choose to see it differently.. I am not concern with

That is to Islamists the world.. Accept it and get over

On one of my trips to the Middle East, as I was having lunch with some people, I noticed an old Arab man walking down the street. As I watched, he squatted down and took a shit in the middle of the sidewalk, stood up and kept on walking. He took a dump in the street, like an animal. That said it all.

The US Constitution does not protect Muslim fanatics that want to make the US a Sharia country, nor does it protect Muslim fanatics that want to make slavery legal, “honor-killing” legal, female genital mutilation legal, or make killings of any Muslim or non-Muslim legal. The US Constitution protects Muslims that are law-abiding citizens, that are civilized, and that want to live in peace with everyone around them (even different Muslim sects). Second of all, traditional Islamic teaching did not bring peace to Indonesia nor Europe. It has been responsible for persecuting and wiping out Christians, Jews, Hindus, Sikhs, and moderate Muslims. If your definition of Islam bringing peace to countries is based on this definition from a Muslim fanatic point of view, then I can see why you would say that (because radical Muslims believe that the death of the US and Israel and all “enemies of Allah” is peace itself). After all, Yasser Arafat said it himself “Peace for us means the destruction of Israel.” And third, nice try to shift the blame of Islamic terrorism on us so-called “haters.” Only cowards say that so they don’t have to take responsibility for their crimes, terrorism, etc. What are you doing to condemning the ideology of al-Qaeda, Hamas, PLO, and so forth? Probably nothing. You can start helping the US by condemning versus like Surah 4:3 (slavery), Surah 5:51 (“not taking Christians/Jews as friends”), or any versus that are inhuman, wicked, barbaric, and evil. Yes, I’m telling you to go against traditional Islamic teaching, but that’s the only way there can be peace in the Middle East and other places. In order for Islam to be “modernized,” traditional Islamic teaching needs to be changed. But that’s blasphemy, isn’t it?

I read mohd islam and wondered if someone was trying to use reverse psychology. Surely those aren’t serious comments. If they are serious comments, I must note that clearly there is a war that islam is making on everyone else that nobody else is interested in. These statements make it clear they are using taqeeya when they say peace and then they make statements like they are taking over USA and Australia. Forked tongue and double speak. It goes along with that name given to allah of the deceiver. If mohd islam is serious then it shows how delusional they’ve become listening to their own lies without allowing any other speech to give them balance. So if islam ruled then we can expect to go back into the dark ages and become those countries they are all trying to get out of. Eventually they have no more people to pirate.
