STOCKHOLM (Reuters) – Lars Vilks, a Swedish cartoonist whose sketch of the Prophet Mohammad enraged many Muslims, was head-butted on Tuesday while giving a lecture about freedom of speech, he said. A video of the incident was posted on Swedish newspaper websites and showed an angry crowd in the lecture hall with many people on their feet and shouting. Police were at the front of the hall and one policewoman used pepper spray on a man. Vilks, who depicted the Prophet Mohammad with the body of a dog in 2007, said he was assaulted by a man sitting on the front row as he spoke at the University of Uppsala, about 70 km (44 miles) from Stockholm >>>

by Fatollah on Thu May 13, 2010 03:48 AM PDTwhy the f*** does these people "musilms" live in the country of the infidels ?
I guess it has to do with mamon, but why "har jaa miran be ghand o goh mikeshan" ... Mohammad died 1400 years a go, his bones are turned to dust, baba shakh o bekesheen!
Hopefully, they'd be sent back to their homes..:-)

Modern Islam
by Ferfereh on Thu May 13, 2010 12:33 AM PDTThis is what some (who even is lawyer and got the Noble price) call it modern Islam and they want to replace it with Islamic regime in Iran. After 1400 you should know, nobody can change Islam, nobody can change qur'an. Everything Al Qaida, Taliban, Islamic regime do, they are doing according to Islam and qur'an. This is what it is, a fascist religion with a pedophile leader.( An adult who is sexually attracted to a child or children called pedophile).

Religions do not know freedom
by shahabshahab on Wed May 12, 2010 08:15 PM PDTNo religion allows freedom of speech. True, Moslems are especially dogmatic due to thei fact that their religion has not reformed yet like others have to soem degree. But, religious people by defintion are against freedom of any kind, let alone speech.
It's risky business dealing with these religious zealots.

فاشیسم اسلام
bihonarWed May 12, 2010 05:32 PM PDT
دنیا در خطر فاشیسم اسلام است. اگر در مقابل این عفریت جهل وفرومایگی نایستیم آزادی و تمدن را این نابخردان ازمیان خواهند برد. این دین اهریمنی اسلام با تاریخ پر از مرگ و جنایتش بزرگترین خطر برای بشریت است.
