VIDEO: Big fight over the infamous cartoon. Chaos.

(AP) 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.

haaaaaaaah.. am just unable to comment, sick.

Horta what does diinta say about freedom of speech, wax la'is weydiiyo maxumee?

Surely you can't kill everyone who disrespects you?

 

Prophet Muhammed (sas) had people calling him all kinds of names, and even forgave a woman who tried to poison him.

 

We have become ultra-sensitive. Instead of trying to murder anyone who insults our beloved prophet, how about we vote with our feet? Wadamada gaalasha halaga kalo cararo.

KK, Ayan Hirsi not long ago told anderson cooper that "Islam is the only religion remaining in the world with special privileges" and added that Islam is perceived to be above criticism. Not long ago, there was a south park controversy because they had a bear suit presumably nabiga inside the suit and already there was fatwa out shortly after the episode aired or was meant to air condemning the creators. I dont watch south park but I had to read about the fatwa because couple of losers from NYC posted on their website death to the writers and mainstream media picked it up. Of-course the losers that ran the website said in the lines of "they do not encourage violence but that if it happened, it would be justified". The post that incited violence against the creators of southpark was protected by free speech laws of the so called "west" but this old man can not stand infront of a lecture hall and deliver a speech to a room full of university students and visitors without getting a head-butt or being heckled by these militant people or both shown in the video. He cant walk the streets freely yet the couple of losers who ran the website can go along with business as usual and no one can say anything about it.

 

How embarrassing for the University. Whatever happened to civility? (these people should not have been allowed to attend that lecture)

 

Kudos to the officers in the video who took charge.

 

If they find this old man(the cartoonist) offensive, why attend his lecture? Why be in the same room as him? This makes no sense at all.

KK diinta wixii xaq ah oo run ah kama soo horjeedo... laakiin sababta keeneyso xanaaqaan oo ka xanaajinaya dadkaan waa jaceelka ee u qabaan diintooda... in a way I think at this time of age, we should educate the people about Islam and the reason why we don't draw pics of our messenger. We can't be burning flags and threaning people to death, we have to fight back diplomaticlly like sheekhs are doing... However I personally think is not so negative to show some anger with out violence because it will show how we still believe in our faith and that we will never accept anything negative about Islam.

 

dadkii christaanka ahaa iyo kuwii kale, diintoodii bee ka wada tageen oo wax kaste ayaa normal la noqotay. Islam wili waa diin dhisan oo xoogleh, waa diin umadeeda respect u heysa, waa diinta kili maanta si rasmi ah loo raacsan yahay... laakiin gaalada waxee noo arkaan in aan nahay dad waqtiyadii hore stuck ku ah oo jaahiliin ah..ma arkaan dulinimada ee heystaan iyo sida ee ugaga tageen diintooda lool..

 

 

Wareer Badanaa!!!

[Hales]

maca sokor caleyk.

 

Lazy G " Islam is the only religion remaining in the world with special privileges " ,

Who gives a damn what that she-devil disgrace thinks, if you wanna make a point across quote someone else. As a Muslim you cant always be at selfcriticsm.

 

As for him not being safe, tough! he shouldve known the sensitive things he was involving himself in the first place. To potray someone as revered as the Prophet (SAW) as a dog is beyond free speach and posting constantly in the name of so called free speach (not once) after decent Muslims protested is just bullying and hurting the feeling of normal people. Im sure free speach wasnt created to protect these sort of actions.

[Polanyi]

The guy was in the process of showing a video depicting two men having sexual relations, one of whom the artist was trying to portray as the the Prophet Muhammad, saw. That some Muslims become upset and try to attack him, is not a surprise.

[Geel_jire]

This is pure hypocrys on the part of the free speech wailers.

 

do you know england, and ireland and many other countries have blaphemy laws on the books ?

 

do you know 'holocaust denier' is a prosecutable offence in austria ?

 

or is it only free speech when it comes to insulting muslims.

 

the worse thing about this is .. you have puppets who echo their talking points like an empty chamber.

 

I dare you to say anything semi-insulitng about jews in public ... you will be shutdown from every corner so fast your head will spin.

 

marka dadkiiga gaalada uu jiibanaya .. isjira waxaad fakar la'aan u daac-daacsanaysaan waa la idin qorayaa.

[Blessed]

^It's funny, sow maha. Rasuulka ha laiska caayo because waa freedom of speeech but don't judge super models because that's for Allah to do... Wareer Badanaa, indeed!

[Chocolate and Honey]

Islam is the only religion remaining in the world with special privileges"

Yes thats correct! I dont have a problem with Islam being the ONLY religion that you can't insult the Prophet and Allah. Freedom my behind. He should've received a heavier beating than being butted :mad:

[Geel_jire]

@ Blessed mar-mar waxaan is waydiiyaa ma adaa waalan mise cadan baa laga heesayaa.

 

where is the critical thinking ?, where is the enlighted hor-mar, reer-magaal people it is as if we are sheep whatever manure is shovelled their way .. they swallow .. hook line and sinker.

 

we do a better job of defending those who insult the prophet P.B.U.H than standing up for other muslims.

[LayZie G.]

Hales, I dont have patience for people who argue for the sake of argument.

 

I will tell you just this once. You do not call people decent when they look to harm others.(nothing decent about harming others)

 

You do not go after old white men just because your feelings are hurt.

 

If an old white man draws an ugly picture, it doesn't make it right. By reacting violently against an ugly cartoon, you are in fact validating the old man's work and you are elevating his work and affording him a global audience that he would not otherwise have had.

 

Based on the few cartoons I have seen drawn by this old man, I can't say he is a talented cartoonist in any standards. His work did not deserve to be elevated and you should thank these irrational militants for reacting with their fist instead of their minds.

 

Just because someone scribbles things with a pencil and puts a name beside it, it doesn't make it true.

 

People need to learn that you can't always react violently against people that you disagree with or people that do things that you do not condone. Common sense should always prevail.

 

 

Geeljire, get this through your thick skull. I condemn violent behaviour. I will never condone the action of militant groups nor would I call for anyone to take violent means on the bases of drawings and speeches. NEVER and two wrongs don't make a right no matter how much gaalnimo iyo cadaan you cry.

[Haatu]

Dadkan is waalaayo oo dhan ha is dajiyaan. Who are these people to go attack this individual when they themselves do not follow the sunnah of the prophet (saw) 100%? Didn't the prophet (saw) say who ever loves me, let them follow me (i.e. the sunnah)? And then you'll see a man who hasn't prayed the jumcah for x number of years marching through western capitals chanting "Death to who ever" simply because a foolish person drawed something & said it was the prophet (saw). Horta, what does it matter what a foolish man draws? Will it change our history? Is it personally hurting the prophet (saw)? Priorities people, priorities.
