Shooting in Demark

Voltex

Another attack on free speech by Islamic fundamentalists.

Its becoming clear that unless the Islamic community themselves take stronger action against the extremists the Islamic community at large will become more and more marginalised.

One civilian was killed and three police were wounded in shooting at a public meeting on free speech in the Danish capital Copenhagen attended by controversial Swedish artist Lars Vilks.

Vilks has caused controversy in the past over cartoons of the Prophet Mohammad.

Danish police confirmed one civilian had been killed in a shooting and said the suspects had fled in a car.

Some reports said up to 40 shots were fired.

The Ritzau agency said both Vilks and the French ambassador, who was also attending, were both unharmed, but that three police had been wounded.

The gathering was billed as a debate on art and blasphemy.

Just over a month ago, 17 people were killed in France in three days of violence that began when two Islamist gunmen burst into the Paris offices of the satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo, opening fire in revenge for its publication of satirical images of the Prophet Mohammad.

Vilks stirred controversy in 2007 with published drawings depicting the Prophet Mohammad as a dog which sparked threats from Islamist militant groups.

He has received numerous death threats and has lived under constant protection by the Swedish police since 2010.

Two years ago, an American woman who called herself Jihad Jane was sentenced to 10 years in prison for plotting to kill him.

French President Francois Hollande said Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve would go to Copenhagen as soon as possible.

Ambassador Francois Zimeray said on Twitter that he was not harmed.

One police officer was reportedly wounded outside the building.

Quite possibly because they were born here.

Because most of us left the notion of mass guilt behind in the middle ages.

RIP

Given the recent events in Paris and Vilks history, security should have been much tighter.

Another display of why Islamic fundamentalism has no place in the modern world.

Multiculturalism has failed spectacularly.

What's required is controlled immigration of minorities, to facilitate interculturalism between different faiths.

This means everyone abiding under the same laws as everyone else, all the while not claiming any special treatment.

Until something akin to this takes place, we will continue to fight within the multicultural barriers that have been erected over the past couple of years.

Just more evidence of the incompatibility of enlightened society and the dogma preached by dark-age religions.

Pity Islam wasn't left back in the middle ages where it belongs.

Or because Europe needed some cheap labour, and expected people to leave when they were finished with them.

..and lets not forget that Aussie police stopped a couple of lads carrying out an "attack" with a 2 foot machete. Probably not hard to imagine what the attack would have entailed.

Or because due to our way of life in the West with freedom, liberty and tolerance and the relatively s hite state of affairs generally within their home country they travel abroad to seek out a better life, better opportunities and freedom....then some of them go on a killing rampage because we are not like them!!:mad:

Pity you can't come on to the thread and condemn another attack on freedom of speech by your favourite religion and instead post a smart arse comment!

You'd be hard pressed to ever find him condemn an attack or express sympathy for the victims. The terrorists and their community on the other hand....

Well it's going to be another long night for our resident apologists who'll deny there is any problem with Islam.

It wasn't an attack by Islam en masse, hence the comment. Pointing out that over a billion people aren't responsible for an attack isn't being a "smart arse", its countering nonsense with sense. The real pity is that it's nessecary to do so.
