The short version: a Muslim assaults an atheist in
Pennsylvania for wearing a zombie Mohammed costume in a Halloween parade. In court, the judge, also a Muslim, throws out
the case and reprimands the atheist for provoking the attack.
No, I’m not making this up. It gets even more outrageous in this article.
If you need more, here’s the audio clip from the trial.
In the U.S. even a ‘dufus’ is afforded federal constitutional rights and is protected by state statutes from being battered by another
person. I’d never dress up to mock a religious leader, but I’m darned happy to live in a country where
knuckleheads are free to do precisely that.
If you’re picturing Islam in a peaceful religions lineup alongside
Catholicism, Presbyterianism, Lutheranism, Mormonism, and Judaism,
please stop.
Islam is a mixture of religious, cultural, and jurisprudential practices and beliefs. It has never been “just a religion.” To believe so foists a Western mindset on a non-Western philosophy.

We’ve all known peaceful Muslims. No one should condemn them for their
beliefs. But in this country—under our constitution—we
must take seriously the threat Islam’s legal practices pose to our republic.
