Doesn’t This Just Have “BITE Me”
Jordan Summons Danish Cartoonist on Blasphemy Charges
A Danish cartoonist and ten newspaper editors have been summoned by Jordan’s public prosecutor on charges of “blasphemy” for reprinting cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad, it is reported.
According to the Copenhagen Post, prosecutor Hassan Abdullat has subpoenaed the 11 Danes for drawing and reprinting cartoons they say offend Islam, charging them with “threatening the national peace.”
Under Jordanian law, reproducing images of the Prophet Muhammad inside — or even outside the country — is illegal under the Jordanian Justice Act, the newspaper wrote.
…But the Danish foreign ministry said that the journalists would not be forcibly deported, as the printing of the controversial cartoons is not a punishable offense in Denmark.
Islamic Rage Boy says, “See?”
“We can be reasonable.”
“Bite Me” is a little too mild.
But I’ll restrain myself, this being a family blog and all.
I think the appropriate response from the cartoonists would be even more blasphemous cartoons. The kind that “Hustler Humor” would reject.
Maybe Islamic Rage Boy can organize a citizen’s arrest of the cartoonists.
