Speaking to a Muslim legal advocacy group less than 24 hours after the mass slaughter of American citizens in California by Islamic jihadists Syed Farook and Tashfeen Malik, U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch turned her legal guns on “anti-Muslim speech.” At the Muslim Advocate’s 10th anniversary dinner on December 3, Lynch said that her “greatest fear” is--not Muslim murder and mayhem--but the “incredibly disturbing rise of anti-Muslim rhetoric” (“AG Lynch vows to prosecute,” WND, Dec. 5, 2015). She vowed to take aggressive action against people whose anti-Muslim rhetoric “edges towards violence.” She said, “... we believe that there needs to be more attention, more resources put into investigating and prosecuting these cases...” Speech that “edges toward violence” is a vague term that could mean whatever the Attorney General wants it to mean, but we suggest that a good place to start in the investigation of such speech would be the Muslim mosques that dot the land from coast to coast. There are more than 100 verses in the Quran that command Muslims to spread Islam with the sword, including the following: “Make war on those who have received the Scriptures but do not believe in Allah or in the Last Day” (Surah 9:29). If the Obama Justice Department does turn its power to investigating and prosecuting “anti-Muslim speech,” and we have no reason to doubt Lynch’s word, the U.S. federal government will be taking the first step toward enforcing Sharia law, which labels any speech against Allah or Mohammed or Islam as blasphemy.
