Judge Martin threw the case out on the grounds that Elbayomy was obligated to attack Perce because of his culture and religion. Judge Martin stated that the First Amendment of the Constitution does not permit people to provoke other people. He also called Perce, the plaintiff in the case, a "doofus." In effect, Perce was the perpetrator of the assault, in Judge Martin's view, and Elbayomy the innocent. The Sharia law that the Muslim attacker followed trumped the First Amendment.

Sharia law ban: Is Oklahoma’s proposal discriminatory or needed?
The appeals court also noted that no example could be found in which Sharia law was used or cited in a U.S. court case
Looks like the Supreme Court needs to go back and rethink things.
