Mohammed case heads for Supreme Court

[The Dane]

The Muslim groups that brought charges against the newspaper responsible for the Mohammed cartoons will now appeal the case to the Supreme Court The seven Muslim organisations plan to bring their civil case against Jyllands-Posten newspaper for their printing of...

'We have no doubt that we will continue with the case. We just need to have the legal procedure in place. Our lawyer Michael Havemann has begun by making an application for the case to be heard by the Supreme Court,' said Bilal Assaad of the Islamic Faith Society.

Both the Århus Municipal Court and the Western High Court have found former editor-in-chief Carsten Juste and culture editor Flemming Rose not guilty of libel in connection with the 2005 publication of the 12 cartoons depicting the prophet Mohammed.

The Muslim groups accuse the newspaper of likening the prophet to a terrorist as well as offending all Muslims. The two previous decisions found the cartoons were neither insulting nor an expression of contempt for Muslims.

They plaintiffs are calling for the courts to punish the two editors to the fullest extend, and have also made a claim for 50,000 kroner compensation.

Assaad said that if the organisations did not succeed with their Supreme Court case, they would consider an appeal to the European Court of Human Rights.

Idiots.
I seriously hope they win nothing from this case.
There's just too much at risk if it is won.
Maybe us non-Muslims should try to counter them with things they've made against other religions in the past?
Where is the so called "freedom of speech" that's supposed to be in the western society's?

Why? Following these legal procedures is exactly the way "we in the west" settle things. If the muslim groups feel violated in their rights then going to court and following through all levels of jurisdiction is exactly what they are supposed to do, instead of burning embassies. Considering the cases our courts usually have to deal with day-to-day this is a rather justified instance.

Only a small percentage of all legal procedures do really serve justice.

I'd be very disappointed if this chamber would not rule in favour of the freedom of speech in the end.

I imagine he meant for us to "knock OURSELVES out" in this thread...dunno - just a guess:)
WOW. I doubt the SCOTUS would even entertain this rubbish. But, even if they did...sorry there...the 1st Amendment of the US Constitution trumps your being offended. Just the way it is.
I wonder how far the Danes will go to protect the freedom of speach/press/religion/assembly ???
I hope for the sake of the whole western world that they stand firm.

[The Dane]

They can go to all the courts they want to but they are just waisting peoples time.
No way they will get through with this.

That's where the west falls short.

Unlike them.

One of the tactics of the stealth jihadis is to use the West's legal systems to silence any critics or dissent of their practices or policies.
