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.

No coincidence here, with everything else that’s been going on with Al Qaeda.

They are feeling their oats because Obama is weak and they know it. Things may get worse.

Things might get better also. I’d say that the europeans are becoming more aware of what islam is all about. It will take a little time and more examples of muslims acting as barbarians before it finally sinks in.

But Euroweenies are essentially suicidal. Muslims may just offer an assist.

I hope Europeans wise up. But for more innocents to die in the process is unacceptable from where I sit.

Should the old Norsemen attitude of Viking warriors like Ygger the Terrible and Strongbow come to the fore of the Dane’s consciousness, the islamists won’t stand a chance. They’ll be removed from the country in weeks.

Mythology says that the Saxon bishops had a prayer or incantation they used to plead for deliverance from the vikings. It was something like “May God protect us from the fury of the men from the North.”
