Oh I'm sorry, I missed that. Anyway my opinion is pretty much the same - the generalization and hate propaganda the calling the prophet a terrorist is on the borderline of being considered a crime, according to Danish law as well, but a trial would probably not result in anything else than the newspaper having to pay a very small fine. The question is - will such a trial be as successful in ending the hatred as the first witch executions were at stopping the witch hunt? Or will it have a positive effect? Hard to tell... In any case I don't see where they're trying to get, even if there's a trial there's no way there'll be more than a symbolic fine according to existing law afaik. The boycott of goods from a country seems like a very irrational and unfair way to react to that a small number of inhabitants in that country insulted them. Compare this boycott and hatred as a result of an insult to the hatred and similar as results of actual violent actions which were the case with 9/11 followed by war. Both cases show an irrational way of projecting the punishment of very few to an entire nation, but in this case we're talking about an insult, not violent action. This is cleary an escalation in hatred between Euro-Americans and the muslim world. Interesting to see what the consequences will be.
