"Last October, a couple of atheists marched in the Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania Halloween parade. One dressed as a zombie Pope. The other a zombie Mohammed.
An immigrant Muslim onlooker became angry. According to reports, he had a physical altercation with zombie Mohammed. A police officer apprehended the assailant who confessed to the assault. He was charged.
In court, the assailant testified it's against Sharia law to insult Mohammed. The judge agreed. He disregarded the testimony of the arresting officer and dismissed the charges. But he first lectured the victim calling him a "doofus."
Christianity, he told the victim, is just a religion. But Islam is a culture. There are no First Amendment protections when offending Muslims, the judge claimed. In other words, Sharia Law has priority."
Case dismissed due to lack of evidence. This is not a case of Sharia law being used in the courtroom. At worst he lectured the plaintiff about deliberate provocation.

Charges were dismissed because the judge ruled that shira laws trumps the Freedom of Speech, and said so in court as part of his ruling.
I believe it was dismissed because there was no evidence that a crime had been committed...It was no more than a verbal confrontation...Everybody is making a mountain out of a mole hill here.
Muslims keep religion in a higher stature upper than Nationality or anything els. you know ? if anyone mock Jesus or Mose he'll face the same reaction 70% surely.
