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

Sheesh!

[RedCell]

Inch by inch.

[Brad’s Gramma]

I’m wondering if this judge has daughters and if he realizes what he’s just done to them...

[Hammer Tym]

Stick a fork in the US; we’re done.

The First Amendment calls for separation of Christianity and state.

It doesn't say anything about separation of Islam and state.

If the Phelpses showing up with their “God damn America” and “Troop John Doe is going to hell” isn’t deemed fighting words by our highest judges, why should this be?

[bigheadfred]

What? Did I just repeat myself???

[mardi59]

Why is this judge not using his islamic name, Achmed, Muhammed, Mohammed....whatever? I’ve never heard of an islamic named Mark Martin.

Muslims should be insulted. I say they should confront him about this mistake and take him to the woodshed because he’s ashamed to be muslim. Just sayin...:)

States are the laboratories of democracy.
The voters can have their say on this judge.
The appeals process can have its say on his decision.

[IronJack]

Perfect! Now Christians will be free to assault atheists, moslimes, and homosexuals. Right?

‘an Iraq war veteran and a convert to Islam’

Judge shopping at it’s worst! This judge needs to be impeached or recalled, whatever the process in his area. NOW!

[Tzimisce]

What are we to think when OWS are heroes and taxpayers are considered criminals?

[willamedwardwallace]

The judge is a Lutheran, not a Muslim.

“The Constitution does not permit people to provoke other people” - tell that to Hollywood!

As for throwing grenades at US troops for inadvertently burning Qur’ans, the U.S. could say that since they believe this manner of response is correct, then the U.S. will engage in violence against them every time they offend our beliefs or that of others, rather than immoral actions.

[MediaMole]

Despite what has been reported, the judge in this case is NOT a muslim.

He is a moron and an apologist for muslim violence, but he isn’t a muslim, just a dhimmi.

Hey Marty! Ya’ know what you call a failed lawyer?
A: “Your Honor!” (is that a provocation?)

Penn Judge: Muslims Allowed to Attack People for Insulting Mohammad

Did the judge say if its alright to defend ourselves or shall we just accept our beating?

[org.whodat]

An atheist, got a little of what he was asking for, but from the tape, other than threats nothing happened.

[Tench_Coxe]

While I don’t agree with the judge’s reasoning (and it’s really quiet alarming), there is a certain satisfaction in the event, since the atheist in question (which appears to happen more often than not) was out to provoke a reaction. Well, he got one.

[Old Teufel Hunden]

The corrolary,

Pennsylvanians allowed to shoot muslims attacking them because of the Castle Doctrine...

[CodeToad]

This needs to go to appeal and the judge tossed out of the bar.
