In an 8-7 decision, the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled that local police violated the First Amendment rights of Christian evangelists at an Arab festival in Dearborn, Michigan.googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display("div-gpt-ad-1432134525422-4"); }); In 2012, members of Bible Believers, a Protestant group, traveled to the Arab International Festival, where they held up signs such as “Islam Is A Religion of Blood and Murder” and “Turn or Burn.” In addition, according to the court decision, “one of the Bible Believers carried a severed pig’s head on a spike.” The court ruled that local police, by escorting the Bible Believers from the festival, “effectuated a constitutionally impermissible heckler’s veto by allowing an angry mob of riotous adolescents to dictate what religious beliefs and opinions could and could not be expressed.”
