...and “knew he wouldn’t do anything to her”? He doesn’t know Muslims very well, does he?

He probably knows far more than we do; and is still living to validate such. While these people will gladly sport their own children; think this Fatwah would not hold any honor if a child had been 'taken' and not the perp himself. Now, torturing children to get parents to respond an entirely different line of reasoning - so called. Let's face it; we ARE dealing with barbarous, archaic mentalities and we can take nothing for granted. Can only imagine that Mr. Westergaard thought; and apparently rightfully so,in this case; that his granddaughter would not be harmed.

This man has otherwise shown signs of great courage and determination in his 'cause for truth and justice' and see no - or maybe little - reason to attack him.

OTOH; had he stayed with her; she may have witnessed a 'God-awful' sight that would impact her for the rest of her life; or it may have then been 'ok' for gunman to take her out as well; after 'Grand Father'. . .

Am thankful this did not have the ending intended by perp; though do wish, again, that police had taken better aim. Now, to see, what happens next. . .and what kind of Justice will be served.

I would never assume that a Muslim attacker would't harm that little girl.

Seems to me, that's just what they would do to make him suffer...can't get him, get the one he loves.
