Muslims still don't understand free speech

Chicago Tribune:

A regional prosecutor said he would not file charges against a newspaper that published caricatures of Islam's Prophet Muhammad, and Muslim groups said Monday that they would appeal.

"We cannot understand the decision," said Ahmad Akkari, a spokesman for a coalition of 11 community groups, adding they would take their complaints to the nation's top prosecutor.

He said the 12 caricatures, published Sept. 30 in the Jyllands-Posten daily, were a "clear offense to Islam."

State prosecutor Peter Broendt Joergensen said Saturday that the drawings were protected by freedom of speech laws and did not violate bans on racism and blasphemy.

Twelve artists sent in cartoons after the paper asked 40 to submit images to test tolerance.

And how long before the West 'understands' how harmful large scale muslim immigration has been and will be? And then after that how long before they work up the guts to do something about it?
