The ECHR ruled against an Austrian woman who claimed calling the Prophet Muhammad a pedophile was protected by free speech. The applicant claimed she was contributing to public debate.
An Austrian woman's conviction for calling the Prophet Muhammad a pedophile did not violate her freedom of speech, the European Court of Human Rights ruled Thursday.
The Strasbourg-based ECHR ruled that Austrian courts carefully balanced the applicant's "right to freedom of expression with the right of others to have their religious feelings protected, and served the legitimate aim of preserving religious peace in Austria."
The woman in 2009 held two seminars entitled "Basic Information on Islam," during which she likened Muhammad's marriage to a six-year-old girl, Aisha, to pedophilia.
Limits of free speech
The marriage according to Islamic tradition was consummated when Aisha was nine and Muhammad was around 50. Aisha was the daughter of Muhammad's best friend and the first caliph, Abu Bakr.
The court cited the Austrian women stating during the seminar that Muhammad "liked to do it with children" and "... A 56-year-old and a six-year-old? ... What do we call it, if it is not pedophilia?"

Well then, I guess you would simply have to say, “a man who personally penetrated 10 year olds but would NOT be considered a pedophile, despite that”.
Does giving the middle finger to a European Court count as free speech?
Muhammad: “My wife called me a pedophile. I told her that was a pretty big word for an eight year old.”
The prophet Muhammad formerly known as a pedophile.
I understand the differences in time and all that...but Mad Mo was 56 and Aiesha was 9 at the time he deflowered her.
That is a pedophile, not the perfect man.
Piss be upon him.
This is ridiculous.
I’ve come to the conclusion that these fascist EU elites are too damn wimpy and stupid to mount any kind of strategical defense against a determined attacker. Yes, I’m addressing that statement towards European patriots.
Go to your grandparents’ houses and dig out all those WWII weapons stashed in basements and closets and use them.
Next, raid the armories throughout the EU and grab what you need. The EU pigs find weapons icky and have left them unguarded. Choose what you need and use them.
If that’s enough weaponry, go to Eastern Europe and buy what you need. Eastern Europe is an arms smuggler paradise where you can buy mortars, machineguns, RPGs and whatever the hell else you need.
Now go take your countries back from these soy-boy wimps.
Islam has done to Europe what Hitler could not.
So what if it is the Suni arabs who brag he was a pedophile?
Effing morons
The European Court must be made up of Pedophiles.
How about two middle fingers, given 25 times? Do you think that would get their attention?
I am not saying he was a pedophile.
He would have had to have sex with a 9 year old girl, or something like that.
Oh, wait ...
Never mind.
Need to change the wording to....No Freedom of Speech
Europe has surrendered to Islam.
The middle finger counts everywhere.
He was a pedophile. Today speaking the truth is a crime!
It would be a courageous billboard if it was actually true. However, it has all the earmarks of a Photoshop. Perhaps if such a billboard did have those words, it would have certainly been torched by the intolerant ones.
