FBI agents told an Oklahoma woman that the agency spends 'every day, all day long' questioning people about their social media posts when they arrived at her house to ask about posts she made online. Rolla Abdeljawad, of Stillwater, was told by FBI agents who showed up at her home on Wednesday that Facebook had handed over screenshots of her posts.
Abdeljawad replied, 'So we no longer live in a free country, and we can't say what we want?' 'No, we totally do,' another agent wearing a red shirt said. 'That's why we're not here to arrest you or anything. We do this every day, all day long. It's just an effort to keep everybody safe and make sure nobody has any ill will.
One of her posts even warned the Muslim community and people who are pro-Palestinian to be wary of the U.S. government monitoring their activity. 'Don't fall for their games. Our community is being watched & they are just waiting for any reason to round us up,' Abdeljawad wrote on March 24. 'If you're Muslim and/or pro-pal consider all your media accounts, Google searches, mail, messenger, local mosques & political events monitored.
Rather, it seems like a fishing expedition,' she wrote. 'I do not fear them. My only concern as, I told the cop is that, someone in my state will do something or that they would and then use my posts in a malicious attempt to 'smear' me. Just *remember, I am a Muslim, an obligated protector of creation. I enjoin what is good and forbid what is wrong.
