Danish Appeals Court Rejects Lawsuit Against Jyllands-Posten Newspaper

The decision by the Western Court rejecting a lawsuit against the newspaper Jyllands-Posten upholds a lower court's ruling. The suit, brought by a coalition of seven Danish Muslim groups, charged that the paper's cartoons, which went on to be a political chit in a series of protests and riots that may have killed over 100 people, were intentionally insulting to Islam and its practitioners. I would imagine that the appeal is important in a turn-the-page sense, as most articles I've seen about local Muslim reaction to the 2005 publication seem to stress the willingness of those in Denmark to get past the incident and its excruciating fallout.
