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.

#3 Given what participants in the Pride Parade in SanFran have done to mock the Catholic hierarchy, you'd see prime time and front page coverage across the country if any 'Christianist' made a similar attack with heavy emphasis with words like 'intolerance' and 'bigotry'.

#4 One Halloween I made a "Masque of the Red Death" costume, including a black screen face mask. Unfortunately, the local pious Catholic Mexicans seemed to not be able to distinguish the difference between me and a Cardinal, I guess.

Rather mortifying to see people making the sign of the cross at you in the middle of a street party, surrounded by Elvises (pl.), space aliens, harlots, some really big guys dressed as Conan the Barbarian-era style barbarians, more harlots, boucoup zombies, lots o' vampires, drunken harlots, and one guy who was wearing the complete, formal US Cavalry dress uniform, which is pretty damn gaudy.

#6 There are still many parts of the country where the muslim would have been on the wrong side of an ass kicking after that.

They don't take to kindly to folks attacking others.

#7 Pretty weak 'attack'.
Better to just kick his ass at the point of incident.
