"
Daisy Obi, 73, an ordained minister from Nigeria, was convicted of assault and battery for shoving Gihan Suliman, a Muslim who lived in her Somerville property, down a flight of stairs..."
In 2014, Obi was sentenced by Somerville District Court Judge Paul M. Yee Jr. to two years in the house of correction, six months to serve, with the balance suspended for two years.
Then Yee took an extra step...
“I want you to learn about the Muslim faith. I want you to enroll and attend an introductory course on Islam,” Yee said during sentencing. “You have to give some kind of written documentation to probation that you have in fact done that.”
Basically, Yee ruled that Obi has to either learn about the Muslim faith or possibly face more time behind bars.
When I first glanced this story on Instapundit, I thought it happened in Africa somewhere. Nope, it happened here in Massachusetts.

You cannot impose religious education from a government institution, but understand that if government can compel you to buy their healthcare product or be taxed, then you will submit to religious re-education or be jailed. So government can now impose religion upon you. Oh no, leftists should be allowed to flourish at our peril. Please, allow them to continue to breath the same air as we do. Please let them continue to fuck us over every chance they get now. Shhhh, just let it happen.
Under the current Supreme Court regime, anything is possible.
Did she push him down the stairs because he was a Muslim? If not this judge is way out of line and should be removed from the bench.
If the judge wanted an appreciation of Islam, he should have sentenced her to being thrown down a flight of stairs... followed by a beheading.
I think the judge is out of line, but I've known several drunk drivers who got the Judge to reduce sentence if they joined AA, and AA has a very specific God vibe in its program. (they call it a 'higher power' but everyone can tell its God). I can see a committed atheist not liking having to take religious training, so that would be wrong too.

Then stoned, then lit on fire, then buried upside down in the opposite direction of mecca, then dug back up, and then be fed to pigs. Take her now reconstituted self as pig shit, repackage it as fertilizer and sell it to farmers to fertilize their crops so she could now be put back into the circle of life. Bliss, Utopia, Karma, Ascension.
Considering how savage the Moslems in Nigeria have been, I have a feeling the minister was being nice.
And, no, forced Moslem religious instruction is not legal.
Nor the answer to the problem.
