COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) -- A Danish court on Thursday dismissed a lawsuit filed by Muslim organizations against the newspaper that first published the Prophet Mohammed cartoons that touched off protests in the Islamic world.

The City Court in Aarhus said it could not be ruled out that some Muslims had been offended by the 12 drawings printed in Jyllands-Posten, but said there was no reason to assume that the cartoons were meant to "belittle Muslims."

The newspaper published the cartoons on September 30, 2005 with a text saying it was challenging a perceived self-censorship among artists afraid to offend Islam.

The caricatures were reprinted in European papers in January and February, fueling a fury of protests in the Islamic world. Some turned violent, with protesters killed in Libya and Afghanistan and several European embassies attacked.

Islamic law forbids any depiction of the prophet, even positive ones, to prevent idolatry.

"It cannot be ruled out that the drawings have offended some Muslims' honor, but there is no basis to assume that the drawings are, or were conceived as, insulting or that the purpose of the drawings was to present opinions that can belittle Muslims," the court said.

The seven Muslim groups filed the defamation lawsuit against the paper in March, after Denmark's top prosecutor declined to press criminal charges, saying the drawings did not violate laws against racism or blasphemy.

The plaintiffs, who claimed to have the backing of 20 more Islamic organizations in the Scandinavian country, had sought $16,860 in damages from Jyllands-Posten Editor in Chief Carsten Juste and Culture Editor Flemming Rose, who supervised the cartoon project.

The lawsuit said the cartoons depict Mohammed "as belligerent, oppressing women, criminal, crazy and unintelligent, and a connection is made between the Prophet and war and terror."

It said the drawings were published "solely to provoke and mock not only the Prophet Mohammed but also the Muslim population."

Oh boy..here we go AGAIN
 
I hate the words "Islamic Law" .. stay in your own ****** country if you want to live under "Islamic Law" ..

WE DON'T WANT - NEED IT or CARE FOR IT

 
At least in America we can (still) speak our minds without too much fear of being locked up..

"Islamic Law" does not apply to non-muslims.. so.. they should kindly quit trying to force you and me and the Danish to live IN FEAR OF Islamic Law..
 
Uh, no offense, but isn't filing lawsuits preferable to rioting? It seems like the kind of Muslims that will do the former are not the ones that will be doing the latter. I'd prefer that everyone just grew some thicker skin, but Americans can hardly complain about people suing people over silly "offenses". Hell, these Muslim extremists are about on line with the religious extremists in THIS country, I'd say that's a big step forward.
 
I'm glad the Danes had the sense to throw the case out; and, I'm glad to see Muslims use the legal systems the West has in place to solve such grievances rather than attempt to violently change it. I have no problem whatsoever with their using the system to effect change.. heck, that's the whole point, isnt it? It's certainly a step in the right direction... however, (and this is very important) that's only if they dont go out and riot later this week over the Dane's decision to throw the case out.

should we hold our breath?

What do you mean by "they"? Muslims aren't one big group, clearly they aren't going to all get together and have some big meeting to decide how to respond to this...if there ARE riots, I'm guessing it's not these particular folks that are rioting. Yet the response will almost certainly be to disregard the more civilized response in favor of focusing on the rioters. Hell, so far the only activity has been a perfectly civilized lawsuit (as far as such things are civilized in the first place) and ALREADY a lot of people are brushing it aside and wondering when "they" are going to riot. Not the best way to help the situation, IMHO.
 
The Religion Of Peace is only peaceful when they get their way.

Edgar Allen Poe would have done well to have written of their ability to turn outrage on and off.

by now I'd think that since you have read 1000 of my posts, you'd know, out of all my faults, grouping all Muslims together is not one of them. By "they," I was referring to the miniscule % of violent fanatics amongst their population. I'm just tired of having to spell this out every time they come up...

Again, I too respect the peaceful Muslims who are attempting to use the legal systems in a civil manner to effect change. After all, that is what the systems are for.

I also hope their attempts to change the laws fail, but that's just my opinion...

Would you agree that if it is the violent fringe rioting that it would be prudent to shoot them?

 
"Islamic Law" should not only apply just to Muslims, it cannot trump the laws of the country in which Muslims happen to live. If it does, why bother to have a country?
 
yes,but the quaran is the perfect word of God,it`s not like the bible inspired by god, is the eternal,perfect ,uncreated divine discourse,so why shoudn`t it take precedence over human made laws?
"devil`s advocate 😛"

It depends on the nature of their rioting. Riot-control does not normally involve the use of real ammunition except in cases of self-defense or otherwise life-threatening acts against the enforcers or populace. If the rioting is of that nature, then yes, shoot them. If not, then just use normal riot-control procedures.

They should be treated just as any other group of rioters. The participants' faith and "violent beliefs" should not have any effect on how the authorities respond to the rioting.

It shouldnt/wouldn't apply to me because it's nothing more than a novel. The same is true of the Torah, Bible, etc... I believe in the democratic laws created by real people in my city, county, state, and country. In turn, I expect every citizen of my country to respect the laws of their respective city, county, state, country.

If someone wishes to live following different laws, then they must live somewhere that allows for that. Western secular nations do not. period.
 
This whole situation is to judge their control over the countries in question.

After they indoctrinate more criminals from prison, and more disenfranchised immigrants they will again riot for control of their host countries. One day, they may have recruited enough people to accomplish Islamic Law.
 
Maybe some European countries should be taken over by Islamic Law to raise the alarm about the extend of the problem.

The riots were not counterproductive, they achieved their goal of knocking down western freedom of speech through fear and intimidation, and you are correct that cleric from Australia opened his mouth to soon, or was he testing the waters?😉
