HOGANAS, Sweden (CNN) -- Swedish artist Lars Vilks says all he's doing is taking a stand in the name of artistic expression. But because of that stand, on this afternoon he's lying low -- on the ground, in fact -- looking for bombs under his car.
Lars Vilks says if people don't like his artwork, then "don't look at it."
Al Qaeda has put a $100,000 price on his head and offered an extra $50,000 for anyone who murders him by slitting his throat after the eccentric artist and sculptor drew a cartoon depicting the Prophet Mohammed as a dog.
"I don't think it should not be a problem to insult a religion, because it should be possible to insult all religions in a democratic way, " says Vilks from his home in rural Sweden.

Picture #2 on CNN: This woman told CNN she hopes to kill Vilks in the name of Allah.
Somebody needs to send Lars Vilks a DVD of the movie “Jeremiah Johnson”...
From the article: “I can do this in the name of Allah, and I will not fail. I could slaughter him in the name of Allah,” says the woman who identified herself only as Amatullah.
She adds, “If I get the opportunity.”
****************************************************
Islam, the only self-parodying religion.
I’d put that lady on my banglist if I were Lars...
Don’t mess with Vikings.
What we need is a simple, easily reproduced such image that could be virally spread—graffiti style—around the world.
“Borf hates Muhammed”
“Muhammed is watching you”
Islam digusts me.
I may not agree with anything he says, but I will defend his right to say it.
Dressed in a black burqa from head to toe and uttering death threat after death threat, the woman -- a wife and mother -- says she is defending her religion and her prophet if she manages to kill Vilks.
"Swedish police, who declined CNN's request for an interview, have advised Vilks to abandon his home."
The decline of Western Civilization continues in Sweden.
Rather than defend Vilks in his home, the faceless Swedish police advise Vilks to abandon his home.
Don’t insult islam or they will kill you to prove how peaceful they are.
This may scientifically explain why the lefties at CNN are not showing the picture.

Well, maybe there wouldn't be too much difference in the photos of the dog and the Jesus-as-a-pedophile cartoonist.
Arf!

How do we know that's a woman?
“Dressed in a black burqa from head to toe and uttering death threat after death threat” ............ Well, I guess he’ll see her coming in that outfit, and take the appropriate action.
This guy has more guts than any deversified cowardly unpatriotic Democrat.
