California charges Facebook user with serious crime for posting “Islam is dangerous”

Has Sharia law found its way into the United States, replacing American democracy? If you live in California and criticize Islam on Facebook, your words could be interpreted as “harassment” and you could be charged with serious misdemeanor crimes.

That’s what happened to one man from California who ranted on a pro-Islam Facebook page. In 2016, 41 year old Mark Feigin posted five messages criticizing Muslims on the Islamic Center of Southern California (ICSC) Facebook page. He wrote things like, “Islam is dangerous” and called out their ties to terror.

Instead of deleting the post, blocking Feigin, and moving on, the Islamic Center of Southern California felt deeply offended, saved the Facebook rant, and used it as evidence that would ultimately be used to charge Feigin with misdemeanors.
