The Muslim Al-Jinnah Foundation will charge the editor of the Christian weekly Magazinet, the journal that published the controversial caricatures of the prophet Mohammed in Norway, with endangering Norwegian lives.
Editor Vebjørn Selbekk and Magazinet staff had no immediate comment on Thursday.
The organization delivered charges to Moss police station at noon on Thursday.
"The police must take Vebjørn Selbekk and put him in a safe place," Al-Jinnah leader Khalid Mohammad told Aftenposten.no. Mohammad emphasized that this remark was not meant as a threat to Selbekk, but rather to the threat Selbekk posed to others.
Mohammad said that Selbekk had endangered Norwegian lives and interests around the world by the provocative decision to publish the caricatures.
"It is frightening that one person through so-called freedom of speech can cause such damage that he nearly sets two worlds up against each other. There are limits for what expressions are acceptable, also in a democracy. This is a case for the police, it cannot be solved by the masses," Mohammad said.
Selbekk and Magazinet are also being accused of blasphemy.
"But this is really also treason," Khalid Mohammad said. "He has damaged Norway abroad. Not least, the publication has resulted in Norwegian soldiers in Afghanistan being injured. We feel for them," Mohammad said, and also noted that innocent Muslims in Norway now feel unsafe, and hat they face greater danger.
Khalid Mohammad said that the Al-Jinnah Foundation is an international network that seeks out Muslim communities when there is danger of unrest.
"Then we tell them that peace is the best road to take. Protests shall use legal means. That is in keeping with Islam," Mohammad said.
Mob Rule.
What a mind in this turd.
Self-censorship now will be the order of the day, after other kinds of censorship have had their run.

Islamofascism solves the problem of media bias.

Lucy! You got some 'splainin' to do!
Can we be killed for just LOOKING at it?
Then, the question of the culpability of the ISP comes up. Can THEY be killed for hosting the image?
These questions are SO much more interesting than "how many angels can dance on the head of a pin?".
The Mussies targeted Christian publisher because they know liberal judges hate Christians more than they love the West's ideal of free speech. This will be a hard one for the judge because it will open the secularists who made the cartoon to punishment.
What liberals need to do is say: it is not hate if we target Muslems or Christians. IT is only hate when Christinas target Muslims.
Great one!
This gets more bizarre every day.
Yes. By publishing cartoons, he damages Norway and so must be punished. Those actually threatening Norwegians abroad are not responsible. Bizarre is right.
Thank you!
Where are all the euro papers that were screaming they'd never back down on their freedom of speech rights?
Yeah, and where are all the libs that used to quote Voltaire or whoever, saying,"We might not agree with what you have to say, but we'll defend to the death your right to say it!" Now they will only defend to a threat, their right to say it, then skulk away.
