They claim his comments on a public Facebook forum is akin to making repeated phone calls when told to stop.
In September 2016, Mark Feigin posted five insulting comments on the Islamic Center of Southern California’s Facebook page (before he was finally blocked by the ICSC from commenting):
- “THE TERROR HIKE … SOUNDS LIKE FUN” (written in response to the Center’s “Sunset Hike” announcement).
- “THE MORE MUSLIMS WE ALLOW INTO AMERICA THE MORE TERROR WE WILL SEE.”
- “PRACTICING ISLAM CAN SLOW OR EVEN REVERSE THE PROCESS OF HUMAN EVOLUTION.”
- “Islam is dangerous – fact: the more muslim savages we allow into america – the more terror we will see -this is a fact which is undeniable.”
- “Filthy muslim shit has no place in western civilization.”
California is now prosecuting him for posting these comments, on the theory that they violate Cal. Penal Code § 653m(b):
Every person who, with intent to annoy or harass, makes repeated telephone calls or makes repeated contact by means of an electronic communication device … to another person is … guilty of a misdemeanor. Nothing in this subdivision shall apply to telephone calls or electronic contacts made in good faith or during the ordinary course and scope of business.
Time to use the ‘sticks and stones’ defense
Uh,yeah. About that First Amendment thingy…
Many of California’s laws HARASS people on the Right.
Time for a Class Action suit against California!
Alinsky #4. “Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.“
I kinda like the last one…
So true.
Time to remove this cancer from the Union. 49 states is enough.
It would appear that gulag California is being built as we speak!
As a disciple of the Holy Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, I hereby demand that the State of California prosecute any and all non-believers who make hateful remarks about and cast doubt upon the legitimacy of my religion in social media.
In His Noodly Name, Amen.
Pasta be upon you Vietvet
I nominate Alyssa Milano for the next Hollywood jerk to make into a scapegoat.
But, no. This law does not really apply to Hollywood limousine liberals, does it.
Or maybe Cher. Or Ashley Judd.
Can Christians sue the authors of atheist books for hate speech
They don’t see the BLOCK button on facebook? Or are they just being attention whores?
@moochoman: And a pun you. Let us prey:
“Oh Penne which art in Colander, meaty be thy balls. Thy pasta come, thy sauce be yum, in Marinara as it is in Alfredo. Give us this day our daily garlic bread, and forgive us pirates our trespasses, as we forgive them pirates that trespass against us. And lead us into temptation, and deliver us some pizza. R’Amen.”
🙂
I noticed he didn’t threaten to kill anyone… Any idea when islam will get fined in CA?

I thought taking up arms to overthrow the federal constitution was what patriots do?
Finally, a state jumping in to defend the precious feelings of muslims! Maybe now ALL muslims throughout the other 49 states (or is it 57?) will move to California to practice “the religion of peace”, and leave the rest of us alone.
Hate speech is not welcomed in this country anymore. Throw the book at him.
California isn’t going far enough – this guy must be executed and then tried for thought crime. Leaving insulting comments on a Facebook public page will lead to other criminal speech like criticizing the exalted leader’s train to nowhere or questioning our modern politburos’ plan to replace the middle class with more malleable and politically reliable illegal aliens.
Ever since Hillary Clinton won less than 115% of the popular vote in California, it has been decided to double down on punishments for those who question their rulers. Our beach front dachas must not be put in jeopardy.
This idiot state passed 900 new laws last year!!! 900!!!!
If hate speech is not allowed then why is the Quran still on sale?
