Danish Imams To Take Mohammed Cartoons Case To The UN

Morons.

Danish Muslim groups are to report Denmark to the UN Commissioner on Human Rights for failing to prosecute the newspaper that first published controversial cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad.

The 27 Muslim groups also plan to sue the newspaper, Jyllands-Posten, for defamation in a Danish court, according to their lawyer, Michael Christiani Havemann.

"Denmark is obliged through the UN to secure the civil rights of its citizens," Havemann said by telephone. "The national prosecutor won’t pursue the case and, therefore, acts as a barrier to justice to the complainants."


If the Human Rights Commission is going to take action against anybody it should be these Danish Imams. Here's why:

Henning Fode, Denmark’s director of public prosecutions, announced on Wednesday that he would not charge Jyllands-Posten, ruling that the drawings it published last September did not violate Denmark’s laws against blasphemy and racist speech.

Mr Fode said that the cartoons could be considered an affront to the Prophet, but did not break Danish law. The prosecutor’s decision prompted the Foreign Ministry to upgrade its travel warnings for Danes traveling in Muslim countries from Algeria to Malaysia.


Because these Imams have traveled the globe purposefully inciting riots over these cartoons the Danish government has to take measures to protect its citizens traveling abroad.

I hope the Human Rights Commission condemns these Muslims for trying to intimidate those they do not agree with by using violence and thuggery.

Hey Rob, hopefully this doesn’t come accross badly, but "Dutch" indicates Holland. You want to say "Danish" in the title and next to last paragraph.

Yikes.

I’ve fixed it.  Thanks for pointing it out.

Being of Scandanavian heritage you’d think I’d know this stuff.

These things happen to the best of us.

Are you Sweedish, Norwegian, or Danish (or mixed)? I’m guessing Sweedish, with lutefisk at family gatherings and all.
