Defamation case over Prophet Mohammed cartoons ‘to be held’ in Britain

From the Vlad Tepes Blog:

A Saudi Arabian lawyer has threatened to use British courts to overturn a Danish free speech ruling by bringing a defamation case over cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad that depicted Islam’s founder as a terrorist.

Faisal Yamani, a Jeddah based lawyer, is planning to take a case to London’s libel courts on behalf of over 90,000 descendants of Muhammad who have claimed that the drawings have defamed them and the Islamic faith.

Cartoon caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad were published in Danish newspapers in 2006 triggering violent protests across the Muslim world and riots which claimed the lives of over 50 people.

According to Danish press reports, the case can be heard in the Britain because the images, including a caricature of Muhammad with a bomb shaped turban, have been freely accessible via the internet.

Danish politicians and publishers are furious that European Union rules reward “libel tourism” by enforcing British defamation rulings across Europe.

Ebbe Dal, managing director of Danske Dagblades Forening, the Danish national newspaper association, is concerned that Britain’s tough libel laws could be used to restrict free speech in liberal countries such as Denmark.

“The Danish courts have decided that the case is not actionable and that we are allowed to print the drawings in Danish newspapers and websites,” he said.

“It would be very odd if a civilised country like Britain could go against that. If this succeeded we would have to pay a lot of money to Saudi Arabians misusing the British courts to make it difficult for freedom of speech.”

Mr Yamani demanded last year that 11 Danish newspapers remove all cartoon images of Muhammad from their websites and issue front page apologies along with promises that the images would never be printed again. Read More »

Bring it on.

As Newton's Third Law of Motion says: "Every action has a reaction equal in magnitude and opposite in direction."

This is true in the world of ideas as well.

Add to this the fact that ideas which are right actually work, meaning they create cohesion. Whereas wrong ideas do not work, meaning they create chaos and, thus, are ultimately doomed to failure.

For this reason, I am a optimist. We will win in our war against Islamofascism and it's Western sister, Dhimmi Fascism.

Every time they push us, our ideas will push back, and those ideas which work will win.

So, the harder they push, the quicker we win.

1, WHAT IS DIFFERENCE BETWEEN 3RD WORLD COUNTRIES AND CANADA?

2, HOW YOU CAN DEFINE HUMAN RIGHTS JUSTICE SYSTEM AND NATURAL JUSTICE IN CANADA?

3, DO YOU BELIEVE DELAYING JUSTICE IS DENYING JUSTICE?

Please read the story below and answer the questions.

I wish and pray nobody else faces this kind of Torture in his/her life. Still I could not find that it is profiling, injustice unfair practice, just to remind me who I am (My Color, My Name, My Accent) or all of these. I am south Asian Muslim immigrant. I moved Canada 8 years ago. First 2 years were consist of finding job and working, worked around one and half year, laid off and found another employer. It was a heavy manufacturing work. Just after a few weeks I got work related injury. In the next 3 month while I was on modified job, Being new in Canada and having no knowledge of my rights I was bullied, humiliated and discriminated by my senior workers and supervisor. I complained many time to responsible staff but no result. Last day on my work place I was threatened by a staff member, I was as frightened that next day I was not able to go back on my work place. They called me and promised me to see the matter but I was really frightened, depressed and was going through mental stress, I refused to go back on that place. Later one of my buddy told me to see a lawyer. Lawyer advised me to file a Human Rights complaint. I filed the Complaint with Human Rights, but they did nothing and kept my file under the STONES for five years and later referred my complaint to Tribunal, and another 6 months took to set a mediation, That day was another Frightful experience in Canada When I found that Tribunal Mediator was not listening me and was asking questions that was not really covering my case. At the end of mediation He told me that we will send our decision later. By the rule and Code they have to inform with in 30 days. till today I did not find any letter from them. I went to Compensation board they argued that a modified job was given to you and that you left that job. They have no idea how badly they are harming and hurting our lives. My wife and kids have not seen me from last 8 years. Due to that injury I am unable to make that much money to arrange cost of Sponsoring my wife and kids or even to send sufficient money so they can have an easy life. Soon I will be evicted from this place because now I have not that much money to pay the rent. I have to move to a shelter or what is written next for me.

I AM IN CANADA BUT FEELS LIKE LIVING IN A 3RD WORLD COUNTRY.

I have some questions for you:

1) What country are you from?

2) Why did you move to Canada?

3) Why don't you move back, if you hate it in Canada so much?

The Saudi probably chose Britain because the judges are the most dhimmified, corrupt, PC and cowardly in Europe.

The Saudi will probably win his case, especially if the government brings pressure on the courts.
