Modog case dismissed

Sweden’s Chancellor of Justice has ruled that Lars Vilks’ Modog cartoon, published in Nerikes Allehanda in August, did not constitute incitement to racial hatred. This is in accordance with MWW prophecy.

Three Swedish Muslim organisation had asked Chancellor Goeran Lambertz to press charges. He responded:

Neither the article nor the sketch, which has a satirical tone, expresses contempt against any ethnic group.

While many practicing Muslims may perceive primarily the cartoon as offensive, neither the content of the article nor the cartoon can be considered as crossing the line of what is permissible within the freedom of the press. The justice chancellor will therefore not pursue the matter.
