Hat tip Creeping Sharia and Understanding the Threat to America
It seems that FBI Agent-in-Charge Ken Moore (Knoxville), who spoke at that meeting Tuesday in Manchester, Tennessee was also a key player in the purge of FBI training manuals that cast a bad light on Islam. Creeping Sharia has the report.

In addition, the below link has the full video of the Manchester event. US Attorney Bill Killian's speech is at the 17:45 mark. (It was not well received.)

Unfortunately, Mr Killian did not elaborate on his earlier comments about how certain expression might violate hate crime laws. However, his power point presentation on certain relevant statutes did not leave me with the impression that figures like Pam Geller or Robert Spencer are anywhere close to crossing the line.
Which I have always maintained.

All I can find at the linked site is a couple of still photos and a mindless diatribe.
the purge of FBI training manuals that cast a bad light on Islam
FBI training manuals have no business casting a bad light on Islam. The FBI's job is to pursue criminal violations wherever they find them, including if the crime is committed by a Muslim.
There is a difference.
Siarlys,
Is it ok with you if the materials contain factual material about Islam that links to violence?
If the training materials contain facts about violent organizations that claim to be motivated by some interpretation of Islam, and commit crimes in the name of Islam, I have no problem with it. Ditto for crimes committed in the name of Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism, etc. (Crimes against humanity are being committed in the name of Buddhism in Sri Lanka and Myanmar as we speak).

I don't believe Pam Geller or Robert Spencer have committed violations of law, however ugly, puerile, and reprehensible their vitriolic hate speech may be. I also haven't heard anyone suggest that the U.S. attorney targeted their speech. The U.S. attorney expressed concern about a public posting advocating shooting Muslims, as Muslims, for being Muslims. Geller and Spencer chose to associate themselves with this incitement to crime by defending it against any investigation by the U.S. attorney.
