HELSINKI, Finland (AP) - Prosecutors said Thursday they will not charge an extremist organization for publishing drawings of the Prophet Muhammad on its Web site because it had broken no Finnish laws.

Deputy Prosecutor General Jorma Kalske said members of Suomen Sisu, a little-known nationalist group, had not aimed to ``offend people's religious sentiments.''

The drawings first appeared in a Danish newspaper in September and have since been published by media worldwide, sparking anger in Muslim countries and communities.

"Freedom of speech" is completely alien to the moron practictioners of the Religion of Peace and Love. Now let the heads of the infidels roll.

"members of Suomen Sisu, a little-known nationalist group, had not aimed to ``offend people's religious sentiments."

They should put a router block on about 50 U.S. blogs so that Muslims and Finns won't be offended.

Freedom of speech, indeed.

So according to the knuckle-dragging apes at The Guardian, a group supporting freedom of speech and the press is an "extremist organization."

Just what in blazes is the Guardian guarding - fascism?
