Halloween jihad

From the "religion of the perpetually insulted" comes this Halloween debacle.

Atheists have a weird sense of humor, but that does not warrant the attack. During the parade they made fun of the Pope, with one marcher in a Zombie Pope costume, asking the crowd if they knew where the young boys were. I did not see any reports of rampaging Catholic youths shouting Pope Akbar, but a Muslim in the crowd decided to avenge the besmirched name of Muhammad and try to choke the parader wearing the costume.

Would anyone like to explain how this Muslim is misunderstanding his peaceful religion?

Aslan? Hooper? Esposito? Armstrong? Mogahed? Anybody?

Zombie Muhammad? Atheist attacked by Muslim during Halloween parade

Tuesday, an Atheist wearing a “Zombie Muhammad” costume while marching in a local Pennsylvania Halloween parade was attacked by a Muslim.

According to reports, the Parading Atheists of Central Pennsylvania (PACP) were marching in a Halloween parade in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania,when a Muslim stormed out of the hometown crowd to assault one of the marching atheists who happened to be wearing a Zombie Muhammad costume.

The atheist in the Zombie Muhammad costume was proclaiming that he was the Prophet Muhammad, risen from the dead. Apparently the words and costume offended a Muslim man, who came out of the audience and began to follow and harass the atheist dressed as Zombie Muhammad before actually choking the atheist.

Subsequently, a police report was filed, and charges in the matter are pending.

The victim posted a video of the incident to YouTube. In the video description the victim writes:

Oct 11 2011 in the Machanicsburg City Parade I was attacked by a violent muslim IN AMERICA! This is proof that muslims want Shria Law in America. He attacks me to pull my beard off so he could identify me and chokes me.
I understand many will say I deserved it, but no one has the right to abridge my freedom of speech and violence is never the answer to freedom of speech. Islam is a religion of Peace? not the case here.

I couldn't have said it better. read it all
