I'm a strong believer in protecting and adhering to the principles of religious freedoms.
But my (or anyone elses) religious freedoms end when they start to infringe on the freedoms of others.
Pretty funny considering that there is not one Muslim law on the books that infringes on your freedom but there are several Christian laws on the books that infringe upon mine.
Now any time a Christian hears a Muslim say Christ was not the son of God they can smash their faces open .......correct.

How about "blue laws" I think they are called? In CT only certain businesses are allowed to be opened on sundays, liquor stores are not one of them NY gets a big boom in liquor and beer sales on sunday
That is one religious based law I can pull off the top of my head based on christianity.

Sadly, it is not a US only thing wither. It is like that up here in canada too, only there are some stranger ones here. I learned recently, that everyone born in my town has the same first name, males first names are joseph, and females mary. They are known by their middle names, but the BC tells the truth. I looked at my pops BC and thought it was a misprint lmao.edit on Sat, 25 Feb 2012 18:18:26 -0600 by TKDRL because: (no reason given)
...So essentially, to that judge, it's legal to assault someone who makes you feel insulted.
UPDATE: This post has been corrected because, after further review, it appears Judge Martin’s reported statement on the audio of the court proceeding, “I’m a Muslim, I find it offensive”, is actually, “F’Im a Muslim, I’d find it offensive.” For further details on the transcription, see this post.
One other point on this. In many court proceedings, an official court transcript is made, and most good judges take the time to read it before authorizing its publication to minimize transcription errors, which are common. In this case, not only does it appear that no transcript was made; the wayward judge is reportedly threatening to hold the assault victim in contempt for making and publishing the recording the judge would prefer that the public did not hear

Now now the solution is simple.
All members on this board who are more violent prone even those not prone but enjoy the occasional fight move to Pennsylvania.
We start a religion that requires us to beat the living day lights out of anyone who annoys us.
We even establish a reform sect that only punches the offenders once or twice.
Claim it's our religious freedom.
Once this gets media attention we claim our prophet the good judge said it's okay to be violent if our religion says so.
I nominate me to be the crazy cult... I mean revered religious leader.
