<p style="text-align: left; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px 0px 1.5em; padding: 0px;"><strong>A Muslim judge in Pennsylvania – who scolded a local atheist for offending Islam</strong>, called him a doofus and accused him of “using the First Amendment” to madden Muslims – dismissed harassment charges against the Muslim defendant who purportedly choked the atheist during a Halloween parade.</p>
<p style="text-align: left; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px 0px 1.5em; padding: 0px;">District Judge Mark Martin brought a Quran to court and told the alleged victim, American Atheists’ Pennsylvania State Director Ernest Perce V, “I think you misinterpreted a couple of things. So before you start mocking somebody else’s religion, you might want to find out a little more about it. It kind of makes you look like a doofus.”</p>
<p style="text-align: left; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px 0px 1.5em; padding: 0px;">The judge added, “I think our forefathers intended to use the First Amendment so we can speak with our mind, not to p— off other people and cultures – which is what you did.”</p>
