PENNSYLVANIA: Muslim judge rules by Sharia to exonerate a Muslim who assaulted a man wearing a Zombie Muhammad costume
Posted: February 23, 2012 Filed under: Islam in America 47 Comments »
The defendant is an immigrant and claims he did not know his actions were illegal, or that it was legal in this country to represent Muhammad in any form. The case went to trial. The Judge, Mark Martin, who is also a Muslim, not only ruled in favor of the defendant, but called the plaintiff a name and told him that if he were in a Muslim country, he’d be put to death.
(And liberals can’t understand why we are fighting to keep sharia law out of American courts? Apparently it’s already here in Pennsylvania and many states)
Opposing Views (H/T Liana) The Pennsylvania State Director of American Atheists, Inc., Mr. Ernest Perce V., was assaulted by a Muslim while participating in a Halloween parade. Along with a Zombie Pope, Ernest was costumed as Zombie Muhammad. The assault was caught on video, the Muslim man admitted to his crime and charges were filed in what should have been an open-and-shut case. That’s not what happened, though.
To add insult to injury, the defendant also testified that his 9 year old son was present, and the man said he felt he needed to show his young son that he was willing to fight for his Prophet.
What transpired next was surreal. The Judge Judge Martin’s comments included,
“Having had the benefit of having spent over 2 and a half years in predominantly Muslim countries I think I know a little bit about the faith of Islam. In fact I have a copy of the Koran here and I challenge you sir to show me where it says in the Koran that Mohammad arose and walked among the dead. I think you misinterpreted things. Before you start mocking someone else’s religion you may want to find out a little bit more about it it makes you look like a dufus and Mr. (Defendant) is correct. In many Arabic speaking countries something like this is definitely against the law there. In their society in fact it can be punishable by death and it frequently is in their society.
Judge Martin then offered a lesson in Islam, stating,
“Islam is 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.
Judge Martin further complicates the issue by not only abrogating the First Amendment, but completely misunderstanding it when he said,
“Then what you have done is you have completely trashed their essence, their being. They find it very very very offensive. I’m a Muslim, I find it offensive. But you have that right, but you’re way outside your boundaries or first amendment rights. This is what, and I said I spent about 7 and a half years living in other countries. when we go to other countries it’s not uncommon for people to refer to us as ugly Americans this is why we are referred to as ugly Americans, because we are so concerned about our own rights we don’t care about other people’s rights as long as we get our say but we don’t care about the other people’s say”
But wait, it gets worse. The Judge refused to allow the video into evidence.
Instead, he said: “He (the plaintiff) has not proven to me beyond a reasonable doubt that this defendant is guilty of harassment, therefore I am going to dismiss the charge.”
The Judge neglected to address the fact that the ignorance of the law does not justify an assault and that it was the responsibility of the defendant to familiarize himself with our laws. This is to say nothing of the judge counseling the defendant that it is also not acceptable for him to teach his children that it is acceptable to use violence in the defense of religious beliefs. Instead, the judge gives Mr. Perce a lesson in Sharia law and drones on about the Muslim faith, inform everyone in the court room how strongly he embraces Islam, that the first amendment does not allow anyone ” to piss off other people and other cultures” and he was also insulted by Mr. Perce’s portrayal of Mohammed and the sign he carried.
This is a travesty. Not only did Judge Martin completely ignore video evidence, but a Police Officer who was at the scene also testified on Mr. Perce’s behalf, to which the Judge also dismissed by saying the officer didn’t give an accurate account or doesn’t give it any weight.
UPDATE from BNI Reader WTD:
It appears there are multiple venues for sharia enforcement:
‘Zombie Mohammad’ Ernest Perce threatened with jail for releasing audio of trial
Martin was reelected after running unopposed in 2011. He cross-filed with the Republican and Democratic parties with his term expiring in 2018 if this judgement is permitted to pass.
Cumberland County, Unofficial 2011 Municipal Election Results
‘Judge’ Martin diminished the honor of the black judicial robe of the American courts by equating it’s value to the symbolic equivalent of the hefty sack-like trash bag known as the burkah and smothered THE FIRST AMENDMENT OF THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES, THE VERY LAW HE WAS SWORN TO UPHOLD ABOVE ALL OTHER LAWS. .. This ‘judge’ demonstrated and utilized dual allegiance to opposing legal systems and unilaterally extinguished this atheist’s first amendment rights. He must be removed from the bench immediately and permanently disbarred.
And there are STILL stupid liberals out there supporting islam!
remove him from the bench!!!!
sorry it is only propaganda against Muslims by those who are really scared from real religion in universe
you dnt trust any evil who are misguiding you until and unless you gain solid proof and dnt be stupid
This judge needs to be removed from the bench and I would sign a petition to do so.
……….and the ACLU……….Silent!
OMG!!! What is going on? This is absolute insanity. This judge is not upholding the law of the land – he must be fired.
OK, question one:
How do we get this judge fired?
Two:
How did he get his license?
Three:
Who do we start email bombing to get attention on this subject?
Four:
Where do we send donations to get this guy a good lawyer so that we can get this up to a higher up(more sane) court?
I wrote to Yarushalmi’s outfit…
Kelly, excellent idea.
Are our judges not sworn and accountable to uphold and protect the US Constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic?
Apparently, not the muslim ones.
What a discusting ruling. Do we now have to ask judges to recuse themselves if they are of the same religion as the defendant? We are losing our way.
The man should appeal. Then, he should file a complaint against the judge. I’d also file with the Bar. This is absurd!! And the mainstream isn’t covering this. Whatever!!
Gas, that’s why BNI readers have to pass these stories on to everyone they know.
This story is on it’s way to the Commonwealth Legislative Judicial Committee.
Will this is a concern to say the least. Can the person who was assaulted bring it to someone higher than the judge or ask for another judge to look at this case? It may depend on if he has enough $ to do this. This is just discussing.
No, the defendant can not be tried again, as much as I hate to say this, it would violate our own constitution to bring this a–hole to trial a second time for the same crime. I do however think that the judge should be pulled before the judicial ethics committee and disbarred or at the very least sanctioned severely.
APPEAL!!!
Make a statement out of this case! We can not allow this type of ruling to stand!
WTF?!!!!! APPEAL is a must here and strike that so-called judge off!!!!!
You’ve got to be kidding allowing that ‘judge’ sitting in a US court!! Who gives a shit he himself is a muzzie and spent time in muzzieland!! He’s in the USA damn it!! That bastard not only tells that guy it’s his fault for being assaulted on HIS turf by a muzzie, dismisses the policeman’s testimony as inaccurate BS, refuses to take the video as evidence, but worse, just gave muzzies the OK signal for assaulting US citizens in impunity!
What a nightmare we’re in!
JUDGE was probably appointed, but if not he should be voted out. sharia law has no place in america
gragon, I’d love to know if he was appointed by Obama?
Try reading the entire article….he was voted in. Ran unopposed.
This Judge should be removed from the bench. He is not representing a citizens freedom of speech. I’m Christian, and I don’t like this Atheist plaintiff much either. But he has the right to do what he did. Even in a parade. There should be a campaign to remove this judge, and the plaintiff should appeal. This has only served to make me, for one, more determined that this ideology is totally throttled in the world.
This is awful. This judge needs to be tarred and feathered for this outrage. He should be removed from the bench PRONTO and thrown in jail for treason. Mooslim law does not trump our Constitution. No Mooslim’s should be allowed to hold a position of power. Get all of them out of office.
He needs to be removed from the bench. The judge is following a cult and using it to pass judgement on Americans. The judge is NOT an American.
“The judge is following a cult and using it to pass judgement on Americans.”
EXACTLY!
Ignorance is no excuse,he does not have the Right to Man-handle another Human Being,thats Assualt,just like me saying,”..i don’t like your T-Shirt,i think i’ll punch you”,..he took the Law into his own hands and should be locked up,anyway,how did the Judge know he was telling the Truth.??
Remove this ass from the bench! What a disgrace!!!
have cooled down second thoughts says don’t post his contact on here we don’t want to leave legal tracks back to you , you done your part ! we carry the ball on our own without useing your cover.
Someone needs to tell this “Judge” ASSLIFTER Martin: HEY ASSLIFTER, this IS AMERICA, not an Islamic country where he could “be put to death” for mocking Muhammad!! I am Christian, not Atheist, but it is NOT common practice amongst Christians to call for beheading, stoning, hanging, etc. of “unbelievers”(infidels) as is the case amongst Muslim ASSLIFTERS!! Judge “ASSLIFTER” needs to take his sorry ass and ALL his ARASSLIFTER associates with him to an ASSLIFTER country if he chooses to practice Sharia law!!
So how do we contact this lunatic and let him know that we are NOT in one of THEIR countries? I’ll call and give whoecver answers the phone an earful!
IGNORANCE OF THE LAW IS NO EXCUSE.
Ignorance of the US constitution is no excuse.
…for a perpetrator!
…but if a JUDGE doesn’t know the US constitution, he should be removed from the bench.
sedition In law, sedition is overt conduct, such as speech and organization, that is deemed by the legal authority to tend toward insurrection against the established order. Sedition often includes subversion of a constitution and incitement of discontent (or resistance) to lawful authority. Sedition may include any commotion, though not aimed at direct and open violence against the laws. Seditious words in writing are seditious libel. A seditionist is one who engages in or promotes the interests of sedition.
LET NO MAN SAY, HE DOES NOT KNOW!
Killer zombie jihadists.
Is Mohammed dead?
You don’t through rocks at peoples houses and expect them to smile back at you Mr. the defendent…Geeee!
It is not enough to merely demand this shit-headed “sharia” judge’s recall. Charges of sedition against the US Constitution need to be filed against him and he needs to be permanently disbarred from practicing law. Personally, I think he deserves to be cell mates with the defendant in this case (and in the general prison population too.) If he just so happens to get butt raped every night, then perhaps he will feel the pain and suffering of those oppressed by the nightmare of islamically imposed dhimmitude worldwide.
Yea I know, only in a perfect world. We have far too many cowardly liberals, masochistically living in their own self-imposed state of dhimmitude, of which they intend to force their dhimmitude upon the rest of us.
Traitors and subversives living amongst us. How utterly shameful.
This is very dangerous. The judge blamed the victim saying he was asking to be attacked for insulting Islam. What next, asking to be assaulted for wearing a cross? Eating pork and drinking alcohol? Stating Israel has a right to exist? Openly practicing your infidel religion? Being gay? Not paying the jizya?
This judge should be thrown in a jail cell immediately. Better yet, he should be sharing it with Holder and Obama.
This is the email of the Judicial Conduct Board of Pennsylvania. I suggest everyone share this with their friends and make sure numerous complaints are sent regarding Judge Martin’s inability to correctly follow US Laws.

Low-level judges such as Magistrates are NOT required to be attorneys. A bachelor’s degree and work experience usually constitute the minimum requirements for judges and magistrates, but most workers have law degrees and some are elected [link].
In the State of Pennsylvania, Magistrate Judges have certain rules to follow and Mark Martin either is unfamiliar with these rules or blatantly ignored them as demonstrated below with Rules 2, 4, & 8

Give this turd a call tomorrow.
Mark Martin, obviously a convert to Islam ignorant. And, he is a judge! Oh, what am I talking about, we have a president who is a fanatic Muslim!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We are doomed.
This is how it starts !
Welcome to our world.
Look,im not an expert on American state laws but i do know that the “judge” is well beyond his remit,FFS do something !!!!
Ignarance of the law is no excuse especially by a judge.
Ignorance of the law is no excuse especially by a judge!
My advice. File a Civil Rights Case in Federal Court against Talaag Elbayomy and against the Judge Mark Martin. Also seek to have Judge Martin impeached.
Aren’t judges supposed to be -impartial?freedom of speech is being -eroded by these religious ratbags,religion is a personal thing,we are entitled to think and believe our own beliefs,not according to this arrogant ideology which is so confronting and demanding.’If the freedom of speech is taken away -then -dumb and silent-we may be led -like sheep -to the slaughter-George Washington.
