Murder planned on danish cartoonist Kurt Westergaard

Today 5 men have been arrested in denmark for planning to murder world-famous cartoonist Kurt Westergaard.

It was Westergaard who drew the famous cartoon of muhammed with the bomb in the turban.

All 5 are muslims. 3 of them have danish citizenship. Two of the men are tunesians without danish citizenship, which mean, they can be extradited very soon.

The will all be charged according to danish terror-legislation.

The danish Islam Faith Community blames the newspaper 'Jyllands-Posten' for the murder-plans. A danish convertite-imam - Abdul Wahid 'Stoning' Pedersen say that islam cannot in any way be connected to the murder plans.

Is there a place where these cartoons can be seen?

Today is MO-day in Denmark. All danish newspapers - even MSM, liberal and leftist - are printing the Mo-with-bomb-in-turban in solidarity with the cartoonist.
