"The guilty verdict in this case is what harms the image of Islam."

Courtesy of Michelle Malkin, the BBC reports that another Yemeni newspaper editor has been convicted for republishing the Danish Mohammed cartoons:

A Yemeni editor has been fined for reprinting controversial cartoons about the Prophet Muhammad from a Danish newspaper earlier this year.

Muhammad Assadi of the Yemen Observer daily was found guilty of denigrating Islam and fined 0.5m riyals (£1,280).

The cartoons caused Muslim anger around the world. Mr Assadi said he wanted to show Yemenis how insulting they were.

Last month a Yemeni editor was jailed for a year for reprinting the images. Another still faces similar charges.


The following quote from Mr. Assadi's lawyer describes matters far more eloquently than I could:

"The guilty verdict in this case is what harms the image of Islam."
