they fear rebroadcasting the ISIS pledge will "inspire" others to follow suit.

But they don't want to say that.

As for Baptists trying to protect Islam, that's almost the funniest thing I have ever read. Almost. Or perhaps it would be, if the context were less dire.

I do believe Lynch would try to protect constitutional freedoms, and one of those is the freedom of worship and practice - but in the US, that freedom does not include the right to violate the civil rights of other people who don't share your beliefs. There is no way that Lynch is trying to protect the shooter, or others who want to do the same thing.

I do think this is misguided and mistaken - but it's not being done because the administration wants to protect terrorists.
