Here we go again…
From National Review:
Swedish artist Lars Vilks was invited by an art school to participate in an exhibit with the theme, of all things, of dogs. Vilks, something of a provocateur (his website has a cartoon of a Jew’s head on a pig’s body), submitted cartoons including one with Mohammed’s head on a dog’s body (it’s connected to the contemporary Swedish craze for “roundabout dogs,” but that’s another story). Before the exhibit opened, his drawings were removed by the organizers, citing possible security threats. Another gallery followed suit, claiming similar worries.
A Jew’s head on a pig’s body? At least he’s an equal-opportunity offender.
The protests have already started, including the government of Iran demanding that the Swedish government censor the artist. Naturally, they claim, it’s all a Zionist plot. Meanwhile the angels of tolerance in the Pakistan government are “determin[ing] the future course of action against the repetition of such provocative publications”.

Congratulations to the Swedish newspapers for bravely standing up for free speech and publishing Larz’s artwork. Now is the time for all newspapers around the world to show solidarity in this great cause and stand together. Come on!… You know it’s the right thing to do…

I salute you Lars Vilks for this brave act. You are a hero. Stop radicals and break them before they take over the world….

Great work! It’s about time we stand up to the extremists and nut cases out there. Just last week, I was in line to go up the CN Tower, and there was a young couple kissing. I thought it was cute, but I heard and saw this muslim man 4-5 people down that found it disgusting that the girl was dressed in shorts (it was like 30-35 celsius that day) and kissing her boyfriend. They were perhaps 13-15 years old, and in puppy love!
But this heartless animal, found that disgusting.
