Defying threats, Swedish artist wants to turn prophet cartoon into musical

He's offended Muslims worldwide and al-Qaida wants him dead but Swedish artist Lars Vilks said Monday he has no regrets about portraying the Prophet Muhammad as a dog.

Vilks, 61, told The Associated Press he even plans to convert the row over his prophet drawings into a musical, with prominent roles depicting Iran's president, Sweden's prime minister and al-Qaida terrorists.

Vilks is no coward, but I wonder if the musical will be a hit. The role figures he mentioned are all bad guys except for the cowardly little side-kick. And I guess all the females will be dressed in burkinis....

But I guess you haven't forgotten the hit "I wanna be like Osama" so who knows until it hits the stage....

You might want to ping the Tards to this one.

This guy should hire Parker and Stone to help him write it and adapt it to an English-speaking audience.

Never write Broadway shows about Muslims. They always bomb.

May I suggest one upgrade to your cartoon? The RYDER truck should be an ambulance instead.
