It is completely justifiable to assault someone who insults your religion or goes against the laws of YOUR God. Right? RIGHT?! No? Well, it is according to a U.S. Judge in Pennsylvania. Well, at least as long as the religion in question is Muslim.

Now, don't get me wrong; I believe you have to be kind of a dick to dress up as a Zombie Mohammad. And I think the guy next to him dressed as "Zombie Pope" was also a big walking dick. And if there had been a Zombie Jesus or Rabbi or what-the-hell-ever it would take a dick to do that just to belittle others deeply held beliefs like that. But it was an Atheist Parade so really it was a bunch of people expressing their beliefs which includes disdain for organized religion. In THIS COUNTRY, they have every right to peacefully do so. Rock on big dick zombies. Rock on.

Now, witnessing this parade is Mr. Devout Muslim and his son. He is fairly new to this country so he "didn't realize" that we don't have Sharia Law which would give him the right to kill said Big Dick on the spot. He wants to be sure his son realizes how important it is to use violence on those who oppose your beliefs so he jumps on Big Dick and beats hell out of him. Well... so ordinarily our illustrious court system would give you a slap on the wrist and a big fine, right? Nope. Judge Mark Martin tells Big Dick he might want to think twice about making himself look like such a big doofus and he should just count himself lucky Devout didn't kill him. You know, to set a really good example for his son.

This Muslim judge didn't even see fit to watch the video. He just put the blame on Big Dick and gave DM the all clear. Yup. Seriously. Right here in River City folks. So all of us tea-bagger alarmists worrying about Sharia law making its way into our country are just being silly, eh?

You know, I think the part that pissed me off the most was the part where the judge was lecturing the atheist about how precious their religion is to Muslims.

"It's not just a religion, it’s their culture, their culture. It’s their very essence their very being. They pray five times a day towards Mecca to be a good Muslim, before you die you have to make a pilgrimage to Mecca unless you are otherwise told you can not because you are too ill too elderly, whatever but you must make the attempt. Their greetings wa-laikum as-Salâm (is answered by voice) may god be with you. Whenever, it’s very common when speaking to each other it’s very common for them to say uh this will happen it’s it they are so immersed in it."

I am sick to death of the PC attitude that Muslim is so much more special than any other religion. Because it rules their entire lives and affects their every action, it makes them somehow justified in doing things that are otherwise unacceptable. There are Jews and Christians and, yes, Atheists who consider their religion to define their culture and to be the one thing that shapes their lives and their world view. If Christians or Jews take this to an extreme they are censored and sneered at and considered downright ignorant and superstitious. But Muslims are showing amazing commitment and faith. Makes me want to puke. And if I wasn't deeply committed to every person having the freedom to practice the religion of their choice without being attacked for it, I would burn a damn Koran too. I'm not gonna dress up like a Zombie Mohammad though. I don't wanna look like a doofus after all.
