Islam's religious law, Shariah, has been trigger point for a protest that involved punches thrown, scuffles, someone stealing a Quran and more in the Muslim-dominated city of Dearborn, Mich.

The result was a slew of online videos showing the fisticuffs and other violence.

One report confirmed, "Violent Muslim protesters attack provocateur Jake Lang as he hits a Quran with bacon," the consumption of which is banned by Islam.

The protest was to oppose the advance of Shariah Islamic law in America, and Muslim demands for a higher level of protection for Islam than for Christian or Judaism or their components. For example, an "artist" years ago created a stir and won acclaim for submerging a crucifix in Urine and calling it "P— Christ."

The Shariah opponents clashed with pro-Islam radicals in Dearborn, a city now run by Muslims in government there.

CBS reported the "dueling demonstrations stemmed from when Michigan Republican gubernatorial candidate Anthony Hudson falsely claimed that there was Shariah Law in Dearborn."

Hudson later walked back those comments, explaining, "If we're going to bring these people together, then we're going to lead by example and come down here, put boots on the ground and walk with these people and show that we can come together."

Joining the protest was Lang, a candidate for Senate from Florida.

Lang challenged the status quo by trying to burn a Quran, which was ripped from his possession by a counter-protester. He then grabbed another Quran, slapping it repeatedly with a slab of bacon before it, too, was stolen from him.

Lang had promoted his activism ahead of time.

And it's not the only action Lang is taking regarding what he feels is improper Muslim influence, with his lawsuit charging that the incoming New York City mayor, a Muslim, is discriminating against Christians.
