Attorney General Loretta Lynch said Thursday at the Muslim Advocate’s 10th anniversary dinner she will take aggressive action against the “incredibly disturbing rise of anti-Muslim rhetoric.”
She told the group “we stand with you” and promised the Justice Department will protect Muslims from “violence” and discrimination.
“When we talk about the First Amendment we [must] make it clear that actions predicated on violent talk are not American,” said Lynch. “They are not who we are, they are not what we do, and they will be prosecuted.”
Lynch did not clarify what “actions predicated on violent talk” means and did not draw a line between constitutionally protected free speech and violence. She also did not pinpoint individuals or groups she believes participate in “violent talk.”
Judge Andrew P. Napolitano notes “the willingness alone to use violence is not criminal; it is only the actual use of violence that is. Thus, it is the manifestation of hatred as lawless violence that may be prosecuted, but the manifestation of hatred as a unifying idea is protected and may not be prosecuted.”
