That would fly here in some parts of the country, as in some parts of the world. But what if some LEO or public official in California said he would shoot anyone saying 'praise the Lord' in his presence? Would there be an attempt by some to downplay the significance? Or would you have people speaking out against their First Amendment right infringements?
There's three requirements you must meet before you're even shot according to what was said by the mayor.
You have to....
1. Be running
2. For some reason be shouting Allah Ackbar as you're running
3. Be at St. Marks Sqaure.
I hardly call that an attack on free speech or worship.
