I got this in an email and I wanted to share it with you all. It looks like it's only part of the article from the Washington Post....
Did you read about this?
Jonathon Turley, a law professor at George Washington University, reports on a disturbing case in which a state judge in Pennsylvania threw out an assault case involving a Muslim attacking an atheist for insulting the Prophet Muhammad.
Judge Mark Martin, an Iraq war veteran and a convert to Islam, threw the case out in what appears to be an invocation of Sharia law.
The incident occurred at the Mechanicsburg, Pa., Halloween parade where Ernie Perce, an atheist activist, marched as a zombie Muhammad. Talaag Elbayomy, a Muslim, attacked Perce, and he was arrested by police.
Judge Martin threw the case out on the grounds that Elbayomy was obligated to attack Perce because of his culture and religion. Judge Martin stated that the First Amendment of the Constitution does not permit people to provoke other people. He also called Perce, the plaintiff in the case, a "doofus." In effect, Perce was the perpetrator of the assault, in Judge Martin's view, and Elbayomy the innocent. The Sharia law that the Muslim attacker followed trumped the First Amendment.
Words almost fail.
The Washington Post recently reported on an appeals court decision to maintai
As I understand it, violence under ANY condition is still violence and is against the law. Sharia is NOT an acceptable excuse to do violence. PERIOD! since when did Sharia become part of OUR laws? If that were the case, then many other religions can claim the same excuse to beat someone up who insults Jesus, or Buddha or whoever. Heck, it doesn't even have to be another religion, just say it's your right to knock the crap out of anyone you please and claim it as part of "your law"....
IMO this judge is a MORON and should be fired by the people ASAP.... Why do Americans put up with this type of injustice?
