Seethe alert

Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten has been acquitted in the courts after facing civil charges of racism. The publication had been dragged into court by Islamist groups in Denmark after publishing the Mohammed cartoons that led to the Great Cartoon Jihad earlier this year.

But Muslim organizations in Denmark aren't giving up:
The decision is the third time the Muslim organisations have had their efforts to have the newspaper charged with racism turned down by the courts. They will appeal today's decision.

[Islamic Faith Association spokesman Kasem Said] Ahmad added that his group would use 'all the legal options available to it' to try to overturn the decision and win 'society's understanding' for its position.
Prepare for more seething and anger!
