They will "respect" the ruling. But it is unlikely that they will give up their attempts to compel Sweden and other European countries to adopt Sharia blasphemy laws. By Ahmad Maher for IslamOnline (thanks to PRCS):
CAIRO — Swedish Muslims were disappointed Saturday, September 22, at a ruling by Justice Chancellor Goeran Lambertz, who said the anti-Prophet Muhammad cartoon published in a local newspaper did not constitute incitement to racial hatred."Of course we reject the ruling, but we can't help but respect it," Stockholm-based Chaka Benmakhlouf, President of the Federation of Islamic Organizations in Europe, told IslamOnline.net over the phone.
Benmakhlouf said the powerful Jewish lobby in Sweden had lost a similar case in the past after suing the Stockholm Mosque for alleged anti-Semitism.
"Jewish leaders translated some Islamic books which they said contained anti-Jews materials and forwarded them to Chancellor Lambertz, who overturned the lawsuit on free speech grounds," added Benmakhlouf, who holds Swedish citizenship.
Three Swedish Muslim organizations had asked Lambertz — the only official in Sweden entitled to indict in cases concerning freedom of the press — to press charges of incitement to racial hatred against the newspaper Nerikes Allehanda and its editor-in-chief Ulf Johansson.
The newspaper published in August a cartoon that depicted Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) as a dog, citing freedom of speech.

"Benmakhlouf said the powerful Jewish lobby in Sweden had lost a similar case in the past after suing the Stockholm Mosque for alleged anti-Semitism."
This is yet another example of a tedious tendency of a Muslim pressure group. whenever they wish to draw attention to their plight or to a particular grievance, contrasting its treatment with that of the Jews. The Jew really is the universal scapegoat in world of these deluded, paranoid and self-obsessed activists.
Of course, it goes without saying that wherever one goes there is a Jewish 'lobby' and it possesses superhuman powers.
They control everything, you know? The Ziojewnists will stop at nothing - they even rig the vote on Pop Idol.

i'm sure that "swedish" male muslims are playing pocket billiards at the thought of beheading infidel blonde blue eyed swedish women in retaliation for this latest cartoon ruling.

Wouldn't it be really really funny if a new malady began to beset people who got really really angry? I mean, those people whose rage is said to "seethe," you know, like Muslims rioting over cartoons and all. Anyway, this new malady would be that when people got as angry as only seething Muslims can, their heads would just explode! I mean, BOOM! Wow - did you see that?! BAM - there goes another one! They oughta calm down! Hide those cartoons! POW! Too late!

before these Muslims protest about cartoons of their favorite pervert they should look at their own Muslim brothers in the middle east and the cartoons they publish routinely that are so anti-Semitic and anti-American that if they were published in the USA there would be protests and in Canada a hate crime charge until they clean up their own house they really have no right to protest
