The Department Of Justice has become a complete and utter joke. The word "justice" should be stripped from the title because it does not exist in that department. I found the latest hilarity by way of American Thinker.
This is straight from the DOJ's website:
Deputy Attorney General James M. Cole Speaks at the Department’s Conference on Post 9/11 Discrimination
The speech is an amazing piece of politically correct drivel that panders to the muslim community, who have obviously been so persecuted since the 9/11 attacks.
Some highlights:
"Unfortunately, one of the many, tragic legacies of 9/11 has been an increase in prejudice, discrimination and hatred directed against persons of the Muslim and Sikh faiths and those who are, or who are mistakenly perceived to be, of Arab or South Asian descent. Some have wrongly sought to blame the horror of 9/11 on Arab-American, Muslim American, Sikh-American and South Asian American communities. It has led to attacks against places of worship and other hate crimes, to job discrimination, and to the tragic harassment of children in our schools."
Bull! What has increased is the awareness of Americans that Islam is not our friend, nor is it a "religion of peace". There has been no mass targeting of muslims in the USA, despite what CAIR says.
"In the aftermath of 9/11, the Civil Rights Division – led by then Assistant Attorney General Ralph Boyd, who will be addressing the conference shortly – established an initiative to combat discrimination occurring in misguided retaliation for the attack. That initiative continues today."
Of course! Instead of punishing the guilty and finding their supporters let's go after the people who think the attacks were a bad thing and prosecute them for "hate crimes". Think I made that up?
"The Department has also taken strong action against hate crimes in the post 9/11 era. Those crimes and the resulting prosecutions have taken place in nearly every part of the country."
Here's another:
"As just one example, to that end, I recently directed all components of the Department of Justice to re-evaluate their training efforts in a range of areas, from community outreach to national security, to make sure they reflect that sensitivity."
Care to guess what he ordered? How about the removal of any reference to islam being connected to anything violent.
From another article in the The Daily Caller:
“I want to be perfectly clear about this: training materials that portray Islam as a religion of violence or with a tendency towards violence are wrong, they are offensive, and they are contrary to everything that this president, this attorney general and Department of Justice stands for,” Holton said Wednesday. “They will not be tolerated.”
Such training materials “pose a significant threat to national security, because they play into the false narrative propagated by terrorists that the United States is at war with Islam,” he added."
The speech was an act of dhimmitude of the highest order. And this is our Department Of Justice.
Look at this statement again:
"training materials that portray Islam as a religion of violence or with a tendency towards violence are wrong"
How ignorant of daily events does a person have to be to make such a statement. And these people "rule" us.
We are not allowed to see, hear or say anything that might be insulting to islam, in any way. The terrorists win again.We ARE at war with islam. The islamists know it, we don't.
(Of course, we haven't even touched on the DOJ's other areas of "hilarity".
