Danish Appeals Court Upholds Dismissal of Muslim Lawsuit Against Newspaper

By Howard M. Friedman

ADVERTISEMENTS

Jurist reports that "The Vestre Landsret agreed with the judgment of the City Court of Aarhus that while some Muslims may be offended by the cartoons, they were an exercise in free speech, and there was no reason to believe the editors intended to insult Muslims."
