The Religion of Peace strikes once again. This time, one of its adherents tries to kill a well-known Danish critic of the religion:

Quote:
Danish critic of Islam attacked by gunman
  • Man shoots at writer Lars Hedegaard outside his home in Copenhagen but misses and flees after scuffle
A gunman has tried to shoot a Danish writer and prominent critic of Islam, but the writer managed to fend off his assailant and was not injured in the attack.

Police said Lars Hedegaard, who heads two groups that claim press freedom is under threat from Islam, was the target of the shooting. In a brief statement, they said a roughly 25-year-old gunman rang the doorbell at the writer's Copenhagen home and when he opened the door, the gunman fired a shot aimed at his head, but missed.

"After a scuffle the attacker fled. We do not know whether the police have apprehended him," the Danish Free Press Society said.

Oh, the Islamistophobia.

The fear of Islamic extremists and fanatics is very well founded. There is a big hole in lower Manhattan to account for that fear.

Who the hell thought it was a good idea to let a bunch of those stone-age savages in the country in the first place?
