The United States of America is founded on Constitutional Rights, one of which is the Freedom of Speech. Judge Martin violates the victims First Amendment Right to Free Speech. He calls the victim a ""doofas"". The judge also insults Christians by implying that Christianity is not a way of life, while Islam is. I have watched the video of Talaaq assaulting the victim. I have listened to the testimony of both sides. A police officer testified that Talaaq did in fact assault and batter the victim. This Judge in ruling for the defendant has in fact shouted to the world that if you proclaim to be Muslim, you are free to assault anyone in the US and claim it is because of your religious beliefs. In case the Judge has forgotten, there is also a Constitutional Amendment that allows for freedom of religion (the reason why most of the early settlers came to America to begin with). One would wonder if a similar ruling would have been made if the victim was Muslim and the attacker a Christian?
There needs to be a Judicial inquiry in this case and ALL of the Judge's cases should be reviewed.
