The editor of a satirical French magazine accused of insulting Muslims by reprinting cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad has been acquitted.
A French court has ruled in favour of weekly Charlie Hebdo, rejecting accusations by Islamic groups who said it incited hatred against Muslims.
The cartoons were covered by freedom of expression laws and were not an attack on Islam, but fundamentalists, it said.
The case was seen as an important test for freedom of expression in France. French cartoon editor acquitted

It hardly seems necesary for Westerners to 'incite hatred' against Muslims, should anyone want to do such a despicable thing. Afterall Muslims do an absollutely teriffic job of this themselves, far better than any Westerner could do.
