The judge isn't a moslem, he said "If I'm a muslim I'd find it offensive".
Still, so many other reasons to find this decision disgusting, not least of which is the fact he said
"And Mr. Thomas [Elbayomi's defense lawyer] is correct. In many other Muslim speaking countries – excuse me, in many Arabic speaking countries – call it “Muslim” – something like this is definitely against the law there. In their society, in fact, it could be punishable by death, and it frequently is, in their society."
So what? This is America and we don't kill people who disagree with us, particularly when that decision is based on superstition.
