    heard today that a Pa judged, recent convert to Islam, decided a case in Muslim, not US Law!

    Case involved an Athiest was in a parade as a Zombie Muhhamed, another was A zombie Pope...

    The Athiest was attacked by devoted Muslim, was beat pretty severely...

    Finally went to court, and the judge decided for the Muslim, and he lectured the Athiest about the Muslim was "forced by his religion" to attack him, and that he would have been forced to also,being now a devout Muslim too!


    Should American judges be using Shari law?

    Should we still call islam a "religion of peace", when they beat down some inthis case, and when TWO Korans were destroyed, rioted and killed a dozen people?

    Your facts are completely messed up. Suggest you go do some research and find out what actually happened.

    read it off the press today!

    Did the press get it wrong?

    The report said that Muslim convert lectured the Athiest, and that the Muslim should have gone to jail for assault/battery, but decided to let him off and give other a lecture!

    You are misinformed. That is not why the case was thrown out.

    Mandym's link dispelled the comments and questions made in your original post. Time to move one.

    Lack of evidence, you need to read the article I posted before commenting any more.

    Dude, read the articles.

    Yes, I think the judge was wrong for not going harder on the attacker; but you're inciting anti-muslim prejudice without cause.

    I Thought, as first, this was the punch line for a joke...

    ...you know, like one of those, "Have you heard about the guy who walked into a....?"

    The fact that judges are using Muslim laws is not a surprise, It will be more common place in the days and years to come.

    Am I?

    Muslims did attack someone physically for "mocking their religion"

    They incite riots and people DIE if just a Koran is burnt, while they have burned bibles...

    NOT anti muslim, but would say the idea of islam being a religion of peace and tolerant of other religions is MYTH...

    Islam stated goal per their prophet is to establish world wide Islamic republc....

    No argument with what you've written here; but your opening post and subsequent posts were about a judge invoking sharia law, which wasn't true and therefore was inflammatory. And you were shown multiple times by multiple people (other than me) that your OP was incorrect, but instead of fessing up, you're switching the argument to a discussion of islam.

    So there were no police eyewitnesses, nor video of the crime?

    What does that have to do with your OP stating that a judge used muslim law, not US law, to decide the case?

    He is suggesting that the judge ignored facts of the case and suggested that according to Muslim Law the Muslim was within their rights to attack this atheist.

    Correct, that it 'appeared' the Judge made his ruling based upon how a Muslim nation would have it decided!

    Freeatlast posted a similar thread down in the News section; he included a link. In that article is a link to another article by the group Above The Law; that article explains that the charges brought against the muslim were for criminal assault, which requires that the individual show intent or pre-meditation to cause harm. In this case, the individual acted on the spur of the moment, and therefore the judge ruled that there was insufficient evidence to prove criminal assault. Totally and wholly US constitutional law.

    The article also disproves the accusation that the judge is a muslim; he's lutheran, and has been for something like 40 years.

    The article does concur that the judge's language and berating of the victim was cause for concern; but in the end, sharia law was not used to determine this case.
