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.

What an idiot! You can't choke a zombie!

Head shot! Head shot! Head shot!

An atheist who actually tried to take on the Moose. If he’d gone about as the “risen Christ” or Moses, nobody would have bothered him.

Silly man. To do mo right you need a piggy nose and a curly tail

If you want to do this you should carry a pound of bacon to slap them with after they assault you. Watch their heads explode.

Not everyone appreciates performance art.

Seriously, this raises a question: is assult and battery now permitted if you’re an offended Muslim? Let’s see if those “pending” charges go anywhere.

Preview of coming attractions.

The only problem is, atheists are generally cowards. Enough incidents like this will convince them to leave the Muslims alone and concentrate their bile on Christians and Jews.

Stupid of the guy to allow a police report. Gets his name I. Tbe public record and likely on a list he doesn’t want to be on.

[ApplegateRanch]

He may be an atheist, but he has guts.

If you go to the Examiner site and watch the video, the guy is not the sharpest knife in the drawer by a long shot. He's marching with a guy dressed as "zombie pope" with a sign saying something about liking little boys.

You'll notice he was not knee-capped by any Catholics, however.

Not a win-win at all. Very few atheists have the guts to take on Mohammedans in satire / performance art, so I respect those who do.

A few years back I recall reading an article in which one of the Hitchens brothers,I don’t recall whether it was Christopher or Peter, shut one of his fellow atheist up who was railing against Christianity by asking this simple question: Would you rather be an atheist in a Christian dominated Society or a Muslim dominated society?
