The Dutch are swallowing this up - did they consider that this Muslim lawyer might think that as a Muslim - he is not obliged to respect Dutch law? Sharia law calls for Muslims to bring all others under Islam - Sura 9:29 [The fight verse - there are more]. Did the Dutch not observe as well that some of those on trial for terrorism in the US also refused to stand for or acknowledge the authority of the court. What a joke!
It would be interesting to know how the appeals court came to its conclusion - did the Muslim lawyer present a case based on Sharia law - or the Koran - if this is the case then the court will accept what the Koran says as evidence of Muslim sentiment and belief - should help Wilders who has been brought up on hate charges - after quoting Koran text in his short film Fitna.
Being politically correct is turning out to be another way of saying that you are simply - uniformed.
Islamic Shenanigans in Melbourne Court -
- The hate mail* came after [Judge] Mr Reardon expressed frustration when two of the accused men [terror] refused to stand up for him during a court hearing earlier this month, saying their religion prohibited them standing for anyone but God.
... .. Mr Reardon yesterday declared anyone in the public gallery who did not stand would be removed from court.
THE HAGUE, 12/12/09 - The appeals chamber of the Bar Association's disciplinary council has acquitted lawyer Mohammed Enait of contempt of court. He has the right not to rise when the judge enters the courtroom and can wear a Muslim hat during sessions, it ruled Friday.
It is customary for lawyers to stand up during court cases when the judge enters the courtroom. Enait deliberately refuses to do so. His argument is that his religion maintains that everyone is equal and as a Muslim, he therefore does not want to behave subserviently.
The disciplinary council of the Bar Association reprimanded the Islamic lawyer in May. On three points, he showed contempt of court, it ruled; he refuses to rise, wears an Islamic head-covering during sessions and showed contempt of a judge in a TV talkshow.
But the appeal chamber acquitted the lawyer on all three counts Friday. His refusal to rise and his headgear are not meant to show contempt of court, I its view. And in the TV programme his relative lack of experience as a lawyer played a role.
Enait appears regularly in talk-shows on TV. He is known for his complicated vocabulary, preferably using at least one difficult word in every sentence.
The lawyer earlier became the focus of satire after it emerged that the secretaries portrayed on the website of his office were porn actresses. Enait refuses to shake hands with women.
