Magistrate Judge Mark Martin, a veteran of the war in Iraq and a convert to Islam, ruled that Talag Elbayomy\u2019s sharia defense \u2014 what he claimed was his obligation to strike out against any insult against the prophet Mohammed \u2014 trumped the First Amendment free speech rights of the victim.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>So let me get this straight. The assault victim, Ernie Perce, an activist atheist, paraded last October in a \u201cZombi Mohammed\u201d costume. As a result of this, he was attacked by Talag Elbayomy. According to this judge, Mr. Perce&#8217;s First Amendment free speech rights are not valid since Mr. Elbayomy&#8217;s god was insulted. OK. So do this mean that if I want to attack someone physically for some of the anti-Christian artwork that has surfaced in recent years, I can do that and not be convicted? If I kill them, is it still ok?<\/p>\n<p>This is totally ridiculous. I am not sure if appeal is an option in this case, but it should be. The U. S. Constitution trumps sharia law. If the judge does not believe that, he has no business being a judge in America.<\/p>\n<div class=\"zemanta-pixie\" style=\"margin-top: 10px; height: 15px;\"><a class=\"zemanta-pixie-a\" title=\"Enhanced by Zemanta\" href=\"http:\/\/www.zemanta.com\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"zemanta-pixie-img\" style=\"float: right; border-style: none;\" src=\"http:\/\/img.zemanta.com\/zemified_e.png?x-id=c3950670-0a44-4138-8dfc-893e68837dea\" alt=\"Enhanced by Zemanta\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Corner at National Review\u00a0posted an article today by Andrew McCarthy about a recent court ruling in Pennsylvania.
