Sharia Law in Philadelphia Results in Chopping off of Mans Hand
2014-07-21
On Monday, a 46-year-old man who was reportedly accused by two leaders of a Philadelphia mosque of stealing jars of money from the mosque had his hand chopped with a machete, requiring hospital treatment.

Police reports stated that the two men responsible for the assault were the mosqueÂ’s imam and amir. They were accused of dragging the victim to the rear of the mosque, where the machete deeply lacerated his right wrist. Medics transported the victim to a hospital close by.

Police descended on the mosque in PhiladelphiaÂ’s Overbrook section on Thursday and arrested Merv Mitchell, aka Mabul Shoatz. They also found a 2-foot-long machete. The other Muslim leader, the imam, who is 35, has not yet been apprehended.
The police charged Mitchell with aggravated assault, criminal conspiracy, simple assault, reckless endangerment, and related offenses.

#5   There can't be two parallel systems of the law of the land.

There already is, actually. It (usually) doesn't extend itself into criminal law.

#4  John, don't make it about Sharia or Muslims or anything hot-button like that. Just say "there is no private law in a civilized society". It'll confuse the usual suspects enough to disrupt the usual noise-machine bollocks, and make the point on a basic law-and-order line.

#3  Idiots couldn't even do it right. The machete wasn't sharp enough or heavy enough to completely sever the hand. What a mess. But you know what's going to happen when those mad mullahs get to prison. They'll convert any other prisoner who is dumb enough to listen to them.

#2  We cannot allow Sharia Law to take a foothold in the U.S. There can't be two parallel systems of the law of the land. Stamp it out.
