Christians violently
assaulted by Muslims at a festival in Dearborn, Michigan, now have legal
representation.
The American Freedom Law Center is representing the
Christians. Attorney and co-founder Robert Muise tells OneNewsNow the group
of evangelists appeared at the festival with signs pointing to John 3:16 and
T-shirts displaying a message in English and Arabic.
"And as they
were walking down along the city streets and public sidewalks, they were
literally stoned by a violent mob of Muslim youths," he explains.
"Meanwhile, the local law enforcement did absolutely nothing. In fact, they
sat on their hands and refused to enforce the criminal laws against the
Muslim mob who were trying to silence, and effectively did silence, the
speech of these Christians."
When the Christian group approached the
senior officer at the scene asking for protection, the attorney says they
were refused.
"They were given the choice: either the Christians leave
the festival or the police would arrest them because of the response by the
violent mob, which is a direct violation of the Christians' constitutional
rights," he says. "The police have a duty not to effectuate what the courts
have called a 'Hecklers Veto,' and certainly here you would expect the
police to enforce the criminal laws."
So Muise says what happened was the
enforcement of Sharia or Muslim law in the city streets. The punishment for
blasphemy under Sharia "is capital punishment," or stoning. Muise is
preparing a federal civil rights lawsuit against the
sheriff's department.
