A Danish court has rejected a libel case brought by several Muslim groups against a paper that published cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad.
The court in Aarhus said there was not enough reason to believe the cartoons were meant to be insulting or harmful.
The cartoons sparked violent protests around the world after Jyllands-Posten published them in 2005.
An appeal against the verdict has been lodged, and the verdict was met with disappointment in Muslim countries.
"It is not up to the court to decide if Muslims will have hard feelings or not," Ameer ul-Azeem, spokesman for Jamaat-e-Islami, told the Associated Press news agency.
His group belongs to an Islamic alliance that organised mass protests across Pakistan earlier this year.
In Syria, where a mob attacked and set fire to the Danish and Norwegian embassies in February, legislator Mohammed Habash said the ruling would "widen the gap between the Western and Islamic world".
"What the newspaper did represents a true insult to millions of Muslims who do not follow Danish laws," Mr Habash, who heads the Islamic Studies Centre in Damascus, told AP.

Who gives a fuck if Muslims are insulted? They don't have the right to stomp over free speech just because what is being said they don't like. Fucking babies.
The religious need to grow the fuck up.
