It’s come to this: The two top U.S. Department of Justice
officials in Tennessee have organized a meeting to discuss the fact that
not all American Muslims are terrorists and those who trash Muslims on
social media may be violating civil rights.
The U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Tennessee, Bill Killian,
and the special agent in charge of the state’s FBI office, Kenneth
Moore, will speak next week at a meeting called, “Public Disclosure in a
Diverse Society.”
The American Muslim Advisory Council of Tennessee is sponsoring the
event to promote understanding about the Muslim culture, the Tullahoma
News reported.
If you didn’t know that inflammatory postings about Muslims on social
media could be a federal civil rights violation, you aren’t alone. Which
is why Killian and Moore will address just that topic.
