Attempted murder of Danish 'Mohammed' cartoonist

A Somalian man was today charged with attempted murder after breaking into the house of a controversial cartoonist in Denmark.

The 28-year-old smashed a window to get into Kurt Westergaard's home last night, forcing him to take refuge in a safe room.

Officers arrived at the property in Aarhus within minutes to find the man with 'an axe and a knife in either hand' and shot him in the knee and on his left arm.

The Somalian was carried into court on a stretcher where he was charged with two counts of attempted murder relating to Westergaard and a police officer.

Westergaard, 75, sparked outrage in 2005 when he drew a cartoon of the Prophet Mohammed with a bomb-shaped turban.

He was one of the 12 cartoonists commissioned by the Danish Jyllands-Posten newspaper to produce caricatures of the Muslim prophet.

Islamic law generally opposes any depiction of the prophet, even favorable, for fear it could lead to idolatry.

Muslims were particularly incensed by Westergaard's cartoon, which portrayed Mohammed with a bomb in his turban and was seen as extending the caricature of Muslims as terrorists. The images sparked protests and outrage across the globe.

Islamic militants ban bras

While all you people who stand by the side of islam and allow people like choudary to hold sharia marches, just remember what islam stands for and why people like myself despise it...

A HARDLINE Islamist group in Somalia is publicly whipping women for wearing bras they say violate Islam by constituting a “deception”, it was claimed yesterday.

Gunmen from al Shabaab have been rounding up any women with a “firm bust” and whipping them, say residents in the capital Mogadishu.

They are then told to remove their bras and shake their breasts.

One woman said: “They first introduced a hard fabric which stands stiffly on women’s chests. They are now saying breasts should be firm naturally, or just flat.”

Earlier this month, the insurgent group, which seeks to impose a strict form of Sharia Islamic law throughout Somalia, amputated a foot and a hand each from two young men accused of robbery.

It has also banned movies, football, musical ringtones and dancing at weddings.

The group’s hardline interpretation of Islamic law has shocked many Somalis, who are traditionally moderate Muslims. Some, however, give the insurgents credit for bringing order to the regions in their control.

I bet the ones who 'gave credit to the insurgents aren't women!
