Quote: Dateline: Connecticut—A 37-year-old man who officially changed his name to “Almighty Supremeborn Allah” was arrested earlier this month after Special Services Unit officers found $2,000 worth of cocaine in his New Britain apartment. The New Britain Herald reports officers were executing a search warrant on Almighty Allah’s apartment when the suspect fled the scene. “He ran and the officers used a Taser to get him into custody,” Sgt. Jeanette Saccente told the newspaper. After Allah was subdued, officers searched his home—unironically located on High Street—and found three grams of cocaine on a bedroom dresser and a baggie with another 18 grams. Allah was charged with possession of narcotics, possession of narcotics with intent to sell, possession of narcotics within 1,500 feet of a school or public housing project, and interfering with police. A judge held Allah on $300,000 bond following an arraignment hearing.

The guy should be asked if he would like to be rried under Sharia law e.g. in Saudi Arabia or maybe under Malaysian or Indonesian laws (both countries with a Muslim population majority) for drug possession...
I´m quite sure that he´d pick the american laws. I doubt that he would like an 8 o´clock appointment with a Malaysian hangman or an Indonesian firing squad or the big Saudi headsman with his razorsharp sword in Jeddah.

Not sure for me, personally. Given life in prison or a razor-sharp sword, I'll take the sword. It'd be quick...
