Norway Rules 'F**k Jews' Remark by Muslim Rapper is Not Hate Speech

Norwegian Muslim rapper Kaveh, who was accused of inciting racism for saying "f**k Jews" during a concert last summer, said the remark was taken out of context and misinterpreted, insisting that he is neither a racist nor an anti-Semite.

After reviewing the report filed against 23-year-old rapper Kaveh over allegations of inciting anti-Semitism during a family concert last summer, Norwegian police found no evidence of hate speech and decided to close the case, the Dagen Christian newspaper reported.

During the Haugen Festival in Oslo, Kaveh congratulated fellow Muslims on the end of Ramadan, an Islamic month in which followers of the religion fast for much of the day. He proceeded to ask if there were any Christians or Jews present in the public. After a short break, he said "F**k Jews". After yet another pause he added "Nah, just kidding", provoking condemnation from both concert-goers and the event's organisers.
