follow-up to "New Dangers to Bloggers?"

A couple of days ago, I wrote a blog entry about some wondering whether or not blogs and tweets should be protected...http://1ncisfan.blogspot.com/2013/05/new-danger-to-bloggers.html. But now, I am reading an article of another danger....http://www.wnd.com/2013/05/doj-slam-muslims-on-facebook-face-feds/

From the article:
Bloggers beware. And those who use email, too. And those on Facebook. And Twitter. And anyone else using social media: Diss a Muslim and the Department of Justice will be on your case with the full weight of federal law.

The Obama administration, which is launching a series of Muslim Outreach Summits so that Islamists can tell federal officials how they better can serve that community, says it also is holding educational outreaches to let people know that Internet postings that violate civil rights are subject to federal prosecution.

Bill Killian, U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Tennessee, is scheduled to appear at an event sponsored by the American Muslim Advisory Council of Tennessee next week, and will “provide input on how civil rights can be violated by those who post inflammatory documents targeted at Muslims on social media,” according to a report in the Tullahoma News in Tennessee.

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

He said everyone needs to understand that Internet postings that violate civil rights are subject to federal jurisdiction.

Interesting how it mentions "Diss a Muslim and the Department of Justice will be on your case with the full weight of federal law"...What I don't see is "Diss a Christian....or "Diss a Jew..." Doesn't that seem a little hypocritical to you? If you look at all the millions of blogs that are out there, I bet there are thousands of them that probably diss (affront, insult, show disrespect to) Christians and Jews, but will any of them have the "full weight of federal law" put on them? Will there be any US attorneys be going around advising Christians and Jews on how THEIR civil rights are violated by those who post inflammatory documents against THEM?  Will there be any events where there will be "educational efforts with civil rights laws" for Christians and Jews?

The question that I have is: Will the enforcement of these laws go both ways? If a Muslim or an atheist goes on their blog ,or on Facebook, or on Twitter or whatever social media they use and and show blatant disrespect to Christians and Jews will the federal government go after them? If they post something that violates the civil rights of Christians and Jews, will they be subject to federal jurisdiction? If they are planning on protecting "civil rights" will it be for both sides or is this just another attempt to get rid of your opponents?

As I said in that blog a couple of days ago:
Are we going to allow the sacrifice of so many be cancelled out because of a few that object to what is being said in blogs and tweets? Or is this still the land of the free and home of the brave?  If we live in a land of freedom for all, should that freedom extend to all? Or should we borrow from the Lincoln quote: "When it comes to this I should prefer emigrating to some country where they make no pretence of loving liberty -- to Russia, for instance, where despotism can be taken pure, and without the base alloy of hypocracy [sic]."

If the rights of few are taken away, then what is to stop them from taking the rights of many...maybe we should be ready for a time like what Pastor Dietrich Bonhoeffer talked about when he uttered the famous words:

“First they came for the Communists, but I was not a Communist so I did not speak out. Then they came for the Socialists and the Trade Unionists, but I was neither, so I did not speak out. Then they came for the Jews, but I was not a Jew so I did not speak out. And when they came for me, there was no one left to speak out for me.”
