vladtepesblogdotcom — May 11, 2010 — Lars Vilks, an artist that already has a Fatwa on his head for his drawing of Mohammed with a dogs head, was speaking at a Swedish University when a crowd of rabid Muslims went crazy and attacked Vilks, chanting the usual, Allahu Snackbar or some variant of that.

What you see on this video is the immediate aftermath of the attack. But it does show those in the room that acted savagely towards Vilks. It also showcases Islam’s barbaric response to what they deem as ‘blasphemy.’

Zombie at Pajamas Media has an excellent post up concerning the attack on Lars Vilks yesterday.

Many of you will remember Vilks for his caricatures of Mohammed’s face on the body of a dog as a way to exhibit free speech and show that no religion has the right to silence anyone. For Vilks, this earned him a death-sentence – a fatwa.

While speaking in Uppsala, Sweden yesterday, Vilks was violently attacked by Jihadists in the room shouting “Allahu Ackbar.” He was head-butted which broke his glasses and hurt his face. The police fortunately wrested the guy from Vilks before he could carry out the death threats being shouted in the room. In what is probably one of the most free and liberal spots on the planet, the dark ages surged into full bloom and the religious intolerance of Islam was on full display. Par for the religious course, anger, hatred and violence were attempted to silence someone who does not believe as they do.

Zombie’s piece covers what the mainstream media refuses to even mention. In the article are a number of depictions of Mohammed as a roundabout dog, a regular dog and as a human. You will find a detailed explanation of what all this means and history of the posts that caused Islam to erupt worldwide in an ecstasy of fury because their prophet was insulted.

Read it all and stand up for free speech. Free speech should be free and not censored because someone does or doesn’t like it. It is an individual freedom. Islam seems to be stuck in the dark ages continuing to strip rights away from people (especially women and children) while interpreting their religious writings in a way that benefits a few. Islam as a religion is a violent and broken view of what a religion can and should be.
