Denmark: Non-Muslim convicted for comments on Islam…in his own home

The International Free Press Society has the bad news for Lars Hedegaard and all freedom lovers, SHAME ON DENMARK! Lars Hedegaard found guilty of hate speech.

Lars Hedegaard was today found guilty of hate speech under Article 266b of the Danish penal code.  The background is a good 35 minutes long interview to the site snaphanen.dk which Hedegaard gave in December 2009.

Here Hedegaard said, among other things, that “girls in Muslim families are raped by their uncles, their cousins or their dad.”

Lars Hedegaard has previously expressed regret if his statements gave the impression that he would accuse all Muslims of abusing their children.

The day after the interview he stressed that his opinions were about Islam and not Muslims.

In January Hedegaard was acquitted of racist statements in the lower court of Frederiksberg. The court believed that his statements were insulting, but the case was dismissed because he did not know that the interview, which took place during a Christmas lunch, would be published.
