Cartoon killing in Copenhagen

Some people--particularly Muslims--have a problem with freedom of expression. Some people, make it those same people, want to impose their minority views on everyone else.

And that's a big problem.

From Press TV:

A civilian has been killed and three police officers have been injured after shots were fired at a Copenhagen café where controversial Swedish artist, Lars Vilks, attended a debate.

Danish media said shots were fired Saturday at the building of a the café where a meeting was held by the Swedish cartoonist, Lars Vilks.

The meeting, dubbed "Art, blasphemy and the freedom of expression" was apparently held to justify the cartoonist's sacrilegious depiction of the Prophet Muhammad. The cartoonist is known for his provocative images against Islam’s most revered figure in 2007.

A senior French diplomat, who was attending the event, later told the media that Vilks was alive taking refuge inside the café. Vilks is normally under police protection when he is in Denmark.

The shootings occurred--let me repeat this--at a freedom of expression event.

I've been to Denmark--the Danes are fabulous people. Denmark saved most of its Jews from the Holocaust. And the Danes hold the largest 4th of July celebration outside of the United States.

Oh, as for Denmark's Jews--they are under attack too. Shots were fired at a Copenhagen synagogue tonight.

Western civilization is under attack.
