Seton Hall law professor calls for prosecution of Muhammad cartoon editor

Bernard K. Freamon, a Muslim and a professor of law at Seton Hall University, advocates that Denmark abandon freedom of speech in order to forestall future strife between Muslims and non-Muslims. From [1] Jurist, with thanks to Mac:

In September, Danish prosecutors, acting on a complaint by Danish Muslim clerics, nonetheless refused to authorize a criminal prosecution of the newspaper editor under section 266b. In my view, this was a patent abuse of their discretion and a blatantly political decision. They ought to revisit it. The issue should be decided by a Danish court. Danish prosecutors certainly must know Denmark is becoming a hotbed of skinheadism and anti-Muslim and anti-immigrant violence. Do they want their newspapers to fan these flames? They should not wait until they have a situation like that in Rwanda before they act.
