Danish Muslims started legal proceedings on Thursday against the newspaper which first printed blasphemous images of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him), accusing it of blasphemy and intentionally insulting Islam.
Earlier this month Denmark's public prosecutor decided not to charge the Jyllands-Posten newspaper and its editors for breaking a blasphemy law by publishing the 12 blasphemous cartoons last year that sparked outrage across the Muslim world.
"Now the wronged have to use all legal measures to get the court's word and not just a government official on whether the Jyllands-Posten's cartoons and article were legal," Michael Christiani Havemann, the lawyer for the 27 Danish groups which have brought the action, said in a statement.
