Lars Vilks attacked by muslims in Sweden.


Lars Vilks, the cartoonist who created outrage in the Muslim community by depicting Mohammed as a dog in a cartoon had a riot break out at his talk about free speech and freedom of creativity at Uppsala University in Sweden. Vilks was not injured in the incident; however his glasses were broken. There was a lot of chaos as numerous young men stormed the small stage area where Vilks was speaking. They put up a lot of resistance against the police who were trying to subdue them. Eventually they were also sprayed with pepper spray.


Threats Against Lars Vilks
In 2007 al Qaeda put a death threat on this cartoonist, with a $100,000 award for his murder. The BBC reports that there would be a “50% bonus if he was slaughtered like a lamb by having his throat cut.”

The CS Monitor reports that after the death threat on Vilks in 2007, he stated “I suppose this makes my art project a bit more serious. It’s also good to know how much one is worth.”

Jihad Jane Plot against Lars Vilks Vilks was the focus of a death plot by “Jihad Jane,” a Pennsylvania woman arrested for terrorism after she was found to be involved with an al Qaeda plot to murder Vilks in Sweden.more

Honor Roll student attacked by gang of thugs and adult.

COLUMBUS, Ohio — A teenager remained hospitalized Monday night, after he was allegedly beaten by students and possibly a parent after leaving school, 10TV’s Lindsey Seavert reported.

Police said 16-year-old Justin Bailey left South High School on Thursday, walking the few blocks he had to, to get home. Bailey would not make it home that day instead he was taken to Nationwide Children’s Hospital, after being hit in the jaw and thrown to the ground.

The attack happened near the intersection of Thurman Avenue and South 17th Street in east Columbus.

Bailey’s grandmother Barbara Davis said her grandson’s jaw was broken in three places and he is suffering from internal bleeding.

David said Bailey told her that he had been surrounded by a large crowd of adults and threatened the day before the attack, by who he thought was parent. Davis said she cannot imagine who would want to hurt her grandson, an honor roll student.
