Breaking: Lars Vilks’s home hit by arson attack
Lars Vilks, who lives in Nyhamnslage in southern Sweden, was not at home during the attack late Friday night and no one was reported injured…
Police were alerted just before noon Saturday, as people passing by the artist’s house noted that several windows had been smashed. When officers arrived, they discovered plastic bottles filled with gasoline and fire damage on the surface of the building. Attackers are also suspected of having tried setting the inside of house on fire, but the flames are thought to have fizzled out.

Unfortunately, neither does standing up to Muslims that kill people over cartoons. We mistakenly believe that Muslims are intimidating and killing cartoonists as part of some grand intimidation/submission strategy. (Yes, I know that is the overall meta-strategy of Mohammed and Islam) But on the individual Muslim level, the soldiers of Allah are simply following orders.
Someone draws a picture of Mohammed, kill him and you’ll get into heaven. It’s extremely simple. It makes no difference if killing the cartoonist helps Islam, you’ll get into heaven for the killing itself.

It’s only 5-10% of the billion Muslims who are radical.
(According to Holder/Obama/Bush/Petraeus/Gates/et al)
That’s only 50-100 million jihadists!
Chill out, infidels!
A tiny minority of extremists!

These people must be STOPPED! These teabaggers are getting international now… Another sad Bush regime legacy.

Well, one thing we are really lucky about…. Most of them are completely incompetent, ignorant fools.
Living in the 7th century as they do, actually pulling off a plan that requires the utilization of high tech stuff like gasoline and matches in this case (or firecrackers, gasoline and propane like the Times Square idiot) is pretty much beyond their abilities, at least without years of training by non-Mohammedans and lots and lots of practice.
Rocks and knives — That’s about the limit of their innate ‘technological competence’.

Holder thinks it might have been spontaneous combustion.
We shouldn’t rule it out.
Here’s one of the few things that’ll help keep you sane when thinking of Islam.
(Since Islam prohibits music, dancing, human contact, humor and images of living creatures.)

Knowing the incompetence and political correctness of Swedish police, I would not be surprised if Vilks is dead within a year.
Lars Villks needs to do what Ayaan Hirsi Ali did and move to North America.

This is a disgrace.
