STOCKHOLM (AP) -- A Swedish artist who angered Muslims by drawing the Prophet Muhammad with the body of a dog said Wednesday he has no regrets and believes the suspects in an alleged plot to kill him were not professionals.

Lars Vilks, who has faced numerous death threats over the controversial cartoon, said he has built his own defense system, including a "homemade" safe room and a barbed-wire sculpture that could electrocute potential intruders.

He said he also has an ax "to chop down" anyone trying to climb through the windows of his home in southern Sweden.

I really think this guy aught to shut up. He’s lucky he hasn’t been killed by these monsters and if he keeps taunting them I’m sure they will figure out how to do it.

Axes don’t work against guns.

Or explosives, or the knife quietly slipped between the ribs while walking down the street.

They only need to kill him once.

The Swedes have axes, Americans have guns. BTW, have you noticed that we have a large supply of what people would call liberal Muslims?

Angered muslims?? Heck, that angers me. Drawing that abomination on the body of man's best friend. That's blasphemy, it is.

He’s one of a handful of people who actually stands up against islam. That deserves our respect.

In a country where he is not even allowed to own proper weapons to defend himself that is one *brave* Swede...
