Websites not prosecuted for Danish cartoonsTuesday 18 August 2009 Tv programme Nova and politician Geert Wilders will not be prosecuted for publishing controversial Danish cartoons which poke fun at Mohammed, the public prosecution department said on Tuesday. The department said reproducing the 12 cartoons, which led to worldwide unrest when published in a Danish newspaper in 2006, is not punishable by law because they target Mohammed not Muslims in general. The cartoons 'do not insult Muslims nor incite hatred', the department said in a statement. However, the pro-Arab Arabische Europese Liga has been told it does face prosecution unless it removes a cartoon featuring two Jews inventing the holocaust. That cartoon does 'insult Jews because of their race and/or religion' because it implies Jews themselves invented the idea that six million were killed during World War II, the department said. The AEL told the department it would continue to remove the cartoons from websites targeting the Dutch public. According to news agency ANP, the cartoons were taken off the site three years ago. A further legal case centering on cartoons by an artist known as Gregorious Nekschot is still under investigation. © DutchNews.nl Get the DutchNews.nl newsletter in your mailbox: Click here to subscribe
Good. Finally, an intelligent court decision on this issue. By abigail | August 18, 2009 5:38 PM "sorry but the world panders to islam far too much, muslim terrorists have killed many people where as jews have not" Don't the original inhabitants of Palestine not count? They have been murdered over the last 60 years by the influx since 1948. By adb | August 19, 2009 3:20 AM Jews have not killed many people, adhd? What about the insane bombing of Lebanon 2 years ago where the Israeli government killed about 1,000 Lebanese people, bombed infrastructure, etc- all because Hezbollah kidnapped *2* Israeli soldiers. The Israeli government has also essentially created a concentration camp for the Palestinians. By ADD | August 19, 2009 3:57 AM Religion is a myth and crazy religious people cause murders in the name of their religion. Once the world comes to grips that ALL religion is fake then we can start the healing process. But this will not happen for most people are to programmed to see the truth about religion. By Paul Martin | August 19, 2009 11:36 AM Paul has it right. More people have been killed in the name of god than any other way. Suprisingly, hardly any satanists have killed in the name of satan. By AW | August 19, 2009 12:07 PM god/satan/religion . . . it is all false. We are all human beings living on planet earth and governerned by the natural laws of the planet. All the time spent on religion is by people unaware or afraid of accepting this. We are all human beings and we all have an effect on the planet. Learn to live off the resources of the land and not rely on the fales promises of religion. By PS | August 19, 2009 1:10 PM Place your comments: |
