I certainly think that if the report was accurate then it certainly seems like a clear case of assault although I'd probably have the sentence reduced slightly due to provocation. Although given the Over the Top response from many muslims to the Mohammad cartoons in a Danish newspaper a few years back, it could be argued from a utilitarian perspective that this is the best outcome possible.

Self censorship out of fear is just as bad (maybe worse) than state sponsored censorship.  We shouldn't stop doing something because some asshats get violent, we should ALL start doing it.

I do debating so this was a bit of a it could be argued devil advocates argument rather than a position I actually believe.
