Danish police have shot and wounded a man at the home of Kurt Westergaard, whose cartoon depicting the Prophet Muhammad sparked an international row.

Mr. Westergaard was at home Aarhus when a man broke in and threatened him. He pressed a panic button and police entered the house and shot the man.

Danish police said the intruder was a 28 year-old Somali linked to the radical Islamist al-Shabab militia.......

Prayers for the poor misguided intruder. s/

Let’s not jump to conclusions.

[CodeToad]

“Let’s not jump to conclusions.”

Why not? We all know the Amish did it!

[Nextrush]

Some additional details on this story:

“Police said the man entered Mr. Westergaard’s house armed with a knife and shouted in broken English that he wanted to kill him....

He said he had grabbed his five-year-old granddaughter and run to a specially designed panic room where he raised the alarm.

Mr. Westergaard told Jyllands Posten (newspaper) he was shocked that his granddaghter had witnessed the attack.

He has now been taken to a safe location, but said defiantly that he would be back, the newspaper reported.....”

[Kennard]

He was a black man in Denmark.
The police acted stupidly.

[Robert357]

Sounds like a story with a happy ending, at least so far.

[GSP.FAN]

You are joking right?

[Nextrush]

Here we go again:

“Jakob Scharf, who heads the Danish intelligence service Pet, said the attack was “terror related” and that the suspected assailant has close contacts to Somalia’s al-Shabab group.

He had been under surveillance for activities unrelated to Mr. Westergaard, Mr. Scharf said....”

[FARS]

Don’t you dare call a Somali Moslem, part of a terrorist Jihadi organization like Shabab a terrorist instead of a one time unrelated extremist - nor even mention he was a Moslem. (/sarc)

[Wiz]

I wish the intruder was dead.

[warsaw44]

I wish ALL the intruders were dead.

[Last Dakotan]

He pressed a panic button and...

Neat! I have a panic button at my house too. It sends a .40 S&W downrange.

[Bernard]

I enjoy holiday stories with a happy ending.

If this idiot had been wearing an I Kill Unbelievers 4 the Glory of Allah t-shirt, they'd still be going, "Whuh-whuh-why did he do this?"

Jim Treacher's tweet after Nidal Hasan's Fort Hood massacre. Applies here too. And it will apply the next time, and the next time, and the next time...

[rbosque]

Symptomatic of a world gone mad. So long as the PC police let this continue, we’ll see this here in our lifetime. Coming to a US city near you.

[Eagles6]

Uhh...yeah. “Let’s not jump to conclusions” was what “commander zero” said after the Ft. Hood massacre when some thought that it “might” be an radical islamic terrorist attack.

[Secret Agent Man]

Damn somali amish.

[Tucson Jim]

They left out the term: “alleged.”

[LeoWindhorse]

I hope the killed the terr , at the very least blew his balls off, so he cannot propagate

[divine_moment_of_facts]

Coming to a US city near you.

That's a given considering the road Obambi has put us on.

[TXnMA]

If everyone here had a "panic button:, how long would it take for the police to begin to ignore them -- like they do home burglar alarms?

No thanks -- I'll trust the Second Amendment...

[CurlyDave]

I wish the intruder was dead.

I am hoping that the Danes know how to waterboard. Seems to me this guy has useful information...

• Danish police stop attack on cartoonist (Religion of Peace Alert)
• Man Tries To Kill Controversial Cartoonist (ROP Strikes Again!!!!)
• Official: Danish police stop attack on cartoonist

[Eagles6]

Yeah, really.

[Godwin1]

I understand Obama thinks the police “acted stupidly.” Luckily those cops are in Denmark. If they were Americans, Holder/Obama would be prosecuting, bankrupting, and attempting to imprison them, exactly as they are trying to do to the brave CIA and other Intelligence people who sought to defend AMERICA post-911

[Redcitizen]

The pen is mightier than the sword. Not!

[ApplegateRanch]

Let’s all settle down over a beer, and wait for all the facts on just how stupidly the police acted.

[jospehm20]

The police probably acted stupidly?

[Eye of Unk]

It can really make a sane person wonder what is going through the thousands and thousands of Muslims here in the US, each of them getting a daily dose of anti-islamic vibes.

Every one of them could explode into rage at the drop of a hat against whoever is defiling their Mohamed.

And to make things worse what the POTUS is thinking, he is a Muslim by his admission and acts, and he too is aware of the growing anti-Islamic chant in the background.

Would Obama go sudden Jihad?

[Ronbo1948]

MOVE ALONG, PEOPLE! Nothing about Islam here...

[AmericanInTokyo]

Bet that dude, TOO, was talking with “Sheikh” Anwar Al-Alawaki.

[AmericanInTokyo]

IS IS REALLY ANY WONDER AT ALL??

[chilltherats]

How dare those bloodthirsty Danes shoot down an apostle from the religion of peace?

[Northern Yankee]

Danish police have guns?

Who knew?

[FES0844]

and that he was just “depressed!”

[Eagles6]

“Zactly.

[Eagles6]

Alleged, isolated, depressed man who did this for reasons other than his religion.

[Elsie]

AMEN!

[Malesherbes]

“a 28-year old Somali” Why, sure. Lots of those wandering around in Denmark. How did he get in, I wonder. It appears that the Danes let him in with a warm welcome, as have their Scandinavian neighbors.

And now the Scandinavians who have always been big about offering advice to the USA about race relations now have their own problem.

[bjorn14]

Actually, Denmark is the most xenophobic countries in Europe. You have to live 2 years in ANOTHER EU country before they let you in even if you are married to a Dane.

A lot of Danes married to foreigners live in Malmo (Sweden) for that residency requirement and commute across the “Bridge of Love”

[junta]

Basically the liberals are guilty of treason by acting Politically Correct in the face of these continuing jihadi attacks. They view it as an act of moral sophistication, I view it as complicity.

[norraad]

It is complicity, and soon will be prosecuted as such.

Libtards take note, we are done with you aiding and abetting.

[happinesswithoutpeace]

The real commnader zero called and said he wants his name back ;)

[happinesswithoutpeace]

commander

[Eagles6]

Yeah, forgot about him. A temperamental revolutionary character to say the least. Perhaps he could invite barry for a fishing trip to decide who really owns the name.

[happinesswithoutpeace]

lol

[TChad]

Rules:

Guilty.

[Windcatcher]

Danish police have guns?

Who knew?"

I assume that the cartoonist didn't -- and, considering the OBVIOUS danger he was in, WHY THE **** NOT????

If I was in his situation, MY "panic room" would have a 5-inch-thick bulletproof Lexan window and one-way ports for SHOOTING MUZZIES.

[Northern Yankee]

Yep... better to be armed.
