Religion of Peace update: Jihadi attempts to murder cartoonist

It’s the first day of 2010 and the Religion of Peace wasted no time showing the world just how they spread love and tolerance in the name of Allah.

Jakob Scharf, who heads the PET intelligence service, said a 28-year-old Somalia man was armed with an ax and a knife when he attempted to enter Kurt Westergaard’s home in Aarhus shortly after 10 p.m. (2100 GMT) on Friday…

The Somalia man, who had a staying permit in Denmark, was to be charged Saturday with attempted murder for trying to kill Westergaard and a police officer, Scharf said.

It was unclear whether the suspect managed to actually get inside the home of the 75-year-old cartoonist in Denmark’s second largest city.

Westergaard, who had his 5-year-old grandson on a sleepover, called police and sought shelter in a specially made safe room in the house, Nielsen said. Police arrived two minutes later and tried to arrest the assailant, who wielded an axe at a police officer. The officer then shot the man.

Westergaard was “quite shocked” but was not injured, Nielsen said.

Westergaard remains a potential target for extremists nearly five years after he drew caricatures including one of the Prophet Muhammad wearing a bomb-shaped turban.

A Muslim terrorist intended to use an axe and knife to murder and behead Westergaard over a cartoon? Gee, I wonder what could have possibly inspired Westergaard to draw that cartoon in the first place?
