Danish court rejects Muslim suit against cartoons

A court in the Danish city of Aarhus has rejected a lawsuit against the editors of the Jyllands-Posten newspaper for publishing cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad. The court ruled that even if the text accompanying the 12 cartoons could be interpreted as mocking, it was going tono far to conclude that they were meant to be harmful or insulting to Muslims. The seven Muslim organisations which filed the lawsuit say they will appeal the ruling. The publication of the cartoons more than a year ago led to a storm of protest in may Muslim countries.
