In that case...

A Danish cartoonist and ten newspaper editors have reportedly been summoned by Jordan's public prosecutor on charges of "blasphemy" for reprinting cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad.
According to the Copenhagen Post, prosecutor Hassan Abdullat has subpoenaed the 11 Danes for drawing and reprinting cartoons they say offend Islam, charging them with "threatening the national peace."
Under Jordanian law, reproducing images of the Prophet Muhammad inside — or even outside the country — is illegal under the Jordanian Justice Act, the newspaper wrote.
A lawyer representing "The Prophet Unites Us," a Jordanian group angling for the prosecution, said that if the Danish journalists did not appear in Jordan for legal proceedings, the next step would be to inform Interpol and seek their arrest.
But the Danish foreign ministry said that the journalists would not be forcibly deported, as the printing of the controversial cartoons is not a punishable offense in Denmark.
Jordanian courts have not issued an indictment, but lawyers are hoping the case will help establish an international law against slandering religion, according to Danish reports.
Abdullat has summoned Kurt Westergaard, a cartoonist facing death threats for his depiction of the Prophet Muhammad wearing a turban in the shape of a bomb.
Abdullat also subpoenaed the editors of ten newspapers that reprinted the infamous cartoon in March, the paper reported.
The summons came just one day after the Danish embassy in Pakistan was destroyed in a bombing that killed 6, apparently a reprisal for the reprinting of the cartoons.

I guess I need to be indicted for wiping my ass with the koran and naming my dog (a bitch) Mohammed. Mohammed is a good little bitch.
This aught to be good - I’ll gotta get some popcorn.
Yeah, I’m sure they’ll be on the next plane...
This WILL start happening here.
Once the RATS assume their “rightful place”, normal citizens will now be subject to international or trans-national courts, over Consitutional law.
It’s already happenin’ in Canada! Mark Steyn.

Bunch of fools.
If obama is elected I wonder how long it will take for him to come to some sort of extradition agreement with these nut jobs so the mooohamodd haters here in the US can be prosecuted.
I guess you’d better stay out of Jordan. :)
BUMP!

Go ahead try and violate my 1st Amendment rights. I'll just back it up by exercising my 2nd Amendment rights. ALLAH!!!
I thought that a statement was only slander if it was false. At least in America.
Better yet, grab your guns and shoot to kill. Kiss your freedom of expression goodbye if these islamofascists get their way.
QFT! I’ve seen even more offensive cartoons of the pedophile, but sadly it’d be an instazot to post them here. This story is enough to inspire one to go out and make a new cartoon. I’d do it but I have absolutely no ability to draw anything fancier than a stick figure.

I wonder, is there any way to slap the entire kingdom of Jordan across the face? Probably not. Perhaps, there might be a way to slip Jordan a clue-map to the 21st century. Hopefully, the world will soon weary of such fundamentalist nonsense.
I bet Rage boy and his merry band would like to get their hands on you.
