Danish police say they have shot an al Qaeda-linked man armed with an axe who broke into the home of a controversial cartoonist.

Police say the 28-year-old Somali man was trying to kill Kurt Westergaard, who triggered worldwide protests after drawing cartoons of Islam's Prophet Mohammed.

The intruder was linked to Somali terror organisation al Shabaab and al Qaeda leaders in east Africa, police said.

The intruder was shot twice and is being held in custody.

Lotte Mejlhede, of TV2, told Sky News Mr Westergaard, 74, fled to a safe room at his Aarhus home after spotting the would-be attacker.

The safe room appears to have been a good idea.

Next time—shoot to kill. One less terrorist.

We will soon have to decide as Americans whether Islam is a death cult or a religion, worthy of legal and tax benefits.

I know how I would decide.

I think not. I’m thinking waterboarding is the order of the day, as in: “Who are you working for?”
“GLUB GLUB GLUB!”
“One more time, Who are you working for?”

And we keep on letting more and more Somalis into this country. Let them all rot in their cesspit of a country.

“Lotte Mejlhede, of TV2, told Sky News Mr Westergaard, 74, fled to a safe room at his Aarhus home after spotting the would-be attacker.”

In an American newspaper, this would be attributed to “an informed source.”

In an America its likely that the police wouldn’t have been the ones to do the shooting.

To All

Time to ask the Paulista’s what US policy created a desire to attack a Danish cartoonist.
Oh the Danish cartoonist was critical of Islam.
I assume that hypersensitive is the fault of US interventionism also!

ALL Muslims are not terrorists.
But ONE of them will kill you if you look at any of them cross-eyed.
Islam IS terror.
Therefore, they ALL must go.
That simple. 1492

I should say,
All Muslims are not terrorists all at the same time.
They come at you single file.

Islam IS terror..

The radical islamists are bent on taking over the world. That's what I believe. Maybe they're all not of that ilk but I would have appreciated hearing an outcry from them when the twin towers were attacked and 3,000 citizens died.

Our grandson who lives with us arrived in Aarhus, Denmark on Dec. 29th. Interestly, I read today that a Somali terrorist broke into the Aarhus home of Westergaard with an axe and a knife and was shot twice. About 5 years ago, Westergaard depicted a caricature Prophet Mohammed wearing a bomb-shaped turban.

A .45 would be a better idea.
