Detroit Transit appeals free speech verdict, demands sharia on Dearborn buses

Emboldened by the enforcement of sharia on Terry Jones in Dearborn? Atlas Shrugs reports, Detroit Transit Appeals Our Free Speech Victory Verdict on Freedom Buses Seeks to Impose Sharia (Blasphemy) Laws on Dearborn Buses:

Back on April 2,  I happily announced that we had won in our year-long struggle against the violation of our first amendment rights in Dearborn/Detroit after they refused AFDI/SIOA’s bus ads offering assistance to apostates under death fatwas. Thousands of Muslims who have left Islam have been murdered under the sharia (Islamic law). We have seen an increase in honor killings in the United States, and resources for Muslims are limited as the threat comes not just from the family but many times from the mosque and the community.

Despite the fact that we won and free speech prevailed, Detroit Transit is appealing the ruling. Your taxpayer dollars are being used to enforce the sharia. Ghastly. After the court ruled in our favor, we submitted the new contracts to CBS. But late last week, SMART filed an emergency motion to ask the court to stay its order so that SMART can appeal. To get the court to stay its own order, they must show that the court totally blew the call and SMART has a high probability of succeeding on its appeal. Keep in mind the court granted our initial relief  because the court found I had a “likelihood of success.” Essentially this is SMART appeal is attempting to call a mulligan, seeking a second and third bite at the apple.

The bottom line is they will also lose the appeal if the facts and law mean anything. But seeing as how Pastor Terry Jones first amendment rights were violated when the Wayne County court ruled to jail him based on the sharia, and not freedom of assembly and freedom of expression, one can not be sure.

The legal expert and my attorney, Robert Muise of the Thomas More Law Center, will be arguing on my behalf tomorrow. I will keep you posted.
