The American Freedom Law Center is representing the Christians. Attorney and co-founder Robert Muise tells OneNewsNow the group of evangelists appeared at the festival with signs pointing to John 3:16 and T-shirts displaying a message in English and Arabic.

When the Christian group approached the senior officer at the scene asking for protection, the attorney says they were refused.
"They were given the choice: either the Christians leave the festival or the police would arrest them because of the response by the violent mob, which is a direct violation of the Christians' constitutional rights," he says. "The police have a duty not to effectuate what the courts have called a 'Hecklers Veto,' and certainly here you would expect the police to enforce the criminal laws."
So Muise says what happened was the enforcement of Sharia or Muslim law in the city streets. The punishment for blasphemy under Sharia "is capital punishment," or stoning. Muise is preparing a federal civil rights lawsuit against the sheriff's department.
