95,000 descendants of Mohammed to sue over 'blasphemous' cartoons
Good. If they can be named, they can be shamed and a class action again them on account of the nihilistic barbarianism unleashed by their forefather would be nice too.* Lawyer to sue Danish newspapers for libel * Cartoons "a slur on descendants" * One paper has already apologised NEARLY 95,000 descendants of Mohammed are going to sue 10 newspapers for publishing "blasphemous" cartoons of the prophet. Faisal Yamani, a Saudi lawyer acting for the descendants, claims that the cartoons - which first appeared in 2005 and caused violent protests by Muslims around the world - are defamatory. One of the 12 cartoons depicts Mohammed wearing a bomb-shaped turban. The Sunday Times said that although the cartoons were published by Danish newspapers, Mr Yamani plans to pursue legal action in England, where libel laws are weighted towards the plaintiff. English lawyers expect that he will argue that the cartoons were published in Britain via the internet and are a direct slur on his clients, who live in the Middle East, north Africa and even Australia.
