Charlie Hebdo in the clear

The case against Charlie Hebdo, the magazine sued by French Muslim groups, has been dismissed. The magazine reprinted the Mohammed caricatures from Jyllands-Posten, and created a new one for their front cover.

The French court ruled that Charlie Hebdo's cover was not offensive to Muslims, and that its reprinting of the earlier caricatures was not malicious. (A similar lawsuit, filed against Jyllands-Posten, was rejected in Denmark last year.)
