Finnish Prosecutor Passes on Cartoons

Helsingin Sanomat reports that the Deputy Prosecutor charged with investigating cartoons that a private individual thought incited hated and/or violated the sanctity of religion will decline to prosecute web site house Finnish League of Free-Thinkers, its chairman Robert Brotherus, and the cartoonist Osmo Tammisalo. The news story says that that cartoons have been on the site for about 10 years, although with last year's Danish Cartoons Controversy, potentially offensive cartoons have become a much hotter topic than they might have been in the late 1990s.

The article also mentions that the Free-Thinkers filed a complaint against the Finnish Evangelical-Lutheran Church in response to their posting a version of the Bible on-line, with the thinking that the Bibl defames atheists. Those charges were dismissed earlier.

You can find the cartoons here. Whenever I think of Jesus cartoons I always think of Jesus Changes Water Into Urine.
