STOCKHOLM – A Swedish artist who angered Muslims by depicting the Prophet Muhammad as a dog was assaulted Tuesday as furious protesters interrupted his university lecture about the limits of free speech.
Lars Vilks told The Associated Press a man leaped from the front row and head-butted him as he was delivering his lecture at Uppsala University, breaking Vilks' glasses but leaving him uninjured.
Police later said the attacker was stopped before he could reach Vilks and that the artist may have bumped into plain-clothes officers who briskly evacuated him from the room. Three people were detained, but it wasn't immediately clear whether the attacker was among them.
A video clip of the incident by a Swedish newspaper showed police using pepper spray and batons to hold off an angry crowd shouting "God is great" in Arabic after Vilks was escorted out of the lecture hall.

...those nasty ‘teabaggers” at work...
I hope dog lovers don't go Medieval on him for insulting canines like that.
Tht is why a 2nd Amendment is great. Head butt this raghead.
Amish yoots are restless these days!
Too bad the police didn’t use Uzis to just plow them down while they were there - target rich environment.
Islam...still evil after nearly 1400 years....
If they interrupt and create violence, SHOOT THEM. The more jihadists we SHOOT and kill, the less things like this will happen again. Let it go and you will surely be eaten alive by this islamic violence!
This is why muzzie immigration must be halted. Mohamadins want to come to advanced countries for the jobs and prosperity but they don’t realize that prosperity is a result of having a tradition of freedom and questioning. What they fail to understand is that in a free society you get opinions that you may find offensive. A civilized person learns to either refute these opinions or simply ignore them. Someone from a backward warrior culture immediately wants to get medieval on everyone. Islam is incompatible with modern society.
mooslim credo: I love you. I will kill you and your children. BOOM!
Getting hard to tell crazed Islamists and liberals apart these days. Neither can tolerate university speakers who express opinions they disagree with.
How's the multriculturalism coming along, you Swedish meatheads?
We shouldn't jump to conclusions here and think that Islam had anything to do with it. We don't know why this Swedish National jumped onto the stage and attacked another Swede...or what the those other people were doing in the audience. What we do know however is that Lars Vilks acted stupidly...
