(CNSNews.com) – At a House subcommittee hearing in late July,
Assistant Attorney General Thomas Perez refused to say if the Obama
administration would ever attempt to criminalize speech against
religion.
Perez’s remarks came just months before an obscure anti-Islamic film
was blamed for attacks on U.S. embassies and consulates in Cairo, Egypt
and Benghazi, Libya. The violence left four Americans dead, including
Ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens. The protests continue to spread
throughout the Middle East.
As CNSNews.com reported,
during a July 27 oversight hearing, Perez four times avoided answering a
question about whether the Obama administration would seek restrictions
on religious speech when pressed by Constitution Subcommittee Chairman
Rep. Trent Franks (R-Ariz.).
