Prosecutors say Anti-Muslim cartoons protected by Constitution


This guy would be in BIG trouble in Britain or Europe

"In a story that has been picked up by The New York Times and the AP, The St. Cloud Times is reporting that two county prosecutors will not file charges against a man they say has admitted to posting anti-Musim cartoons near a mosque, a Somali-owned store and other places in and around St. Cloud.

Stearns County Attorney Janelle Kendall and Benton County Attorney Robert Raupp, in separate letters to St. Cloud City Attorney Jan Petersen, said the cartoons showing the Prophet Muhammad having sex with animals represented protected speech under the First Amendment of the Constitution.

The Minnesota chapter of the Council on American Islamic Relations condemned the cartoons as hate speech.

Investigators say the man told them that Muslims are "anti-Christian" and that he found the images online and thought it would be "cool" to post them on utility poles in the St. Cloud area.

This also shames the American mainstream media who refused to print the much milder Danish cartoons about Mohammed.
