Qur'an burner acquitted in France

And surprisingly there have been no riots or outbursts of outrage from the growing Muslim population....yet.

No reprisals for Frenchman who burned Koran

An appeals court on Tuesday confirmed the acquittal of a Frenchman accused of inciting racial hatred after posting an internet video of himself burning a Koran and then urinating on it.

Ernesto Rojas Abbate was arrested in October 2010 after posting footage of himself wearing a devil mask and tearing pages from the Islamic holy book before setting it on fire and later urinating on it to extinguish the flames.

Prosecutors, who had been seeking a three-month suspended sentence and €1,000 ($1,400) fine, appealed after a court acquitted him in May on charges of inciting racial hatred.

In the footage Rojas Abbate, a 31-year-old resident of a suburb of the eastern city of Strasbourg, used pages of the Koran as a prop in a simulation of the September 11, 2001, attacks on New York.

He made paper airplanes from pages of the Koran, threw them at glasses meant to represent the twin towers of the World Trade Centre, then burned the pages and the book before urinating on them.

The appeals court ruled that, while the video was "wilfully outrageous and deliberately provocative", there was no evidence Rojas Abbate had intended "to arouse feelings of hostility... aimed at provoking discrimination, hate, or violence towards Muslims."

Even with no intention, Islam demands that any speech be considered insulting, from their perspective if it serves the agenda. Muslims will feel insulted, hated, discriminated against and marginalized no matter what non-Muslims say, the victimization they have created for themselves precludes any discussion other than "I am insulted, arrest him." We are losing our ability to identify the enemy, soon any speech on Islam will get us arrested and prosecuted. Welcome to the new Islamic America, infidel.
