Somali charged over attack on Danish cartoonist

A Somali man has been charged with trying to kill a Danish artist whose drawing of the Prophet Mohammed sparked riots around the world.

The suspect, who was shot by police outside cartoonist Kurt Westergaard's home in the city of Aarhus on Friday, was carried into court on a stretcher.

Police say he broke into the house armed with an axe and a knife.

The suspect, who denies the charge, was remanded in custody. Police say he has links with Somali Islamist militants.

The radical al-Shabab group in Somalia hailed the attack.

Al-Shabab spokesman Sheikh Ali Muhamud Rage told AFP news agency: "We appreciate the incident in which a Muslim Somali boy attacked the devil who abused our prophet Mohammed and we call upon all Muslims around the world to target the people like" him.

The suspect, who cannot be named for Danish legal reasons, was charged with attempted manslaughter.

Broke into his house with an axe and a knife and is charged with attempted manslaughter? So basically he's been charged with trying to kill someone without malice aforethought after breaking into the guy's house with a knife and an axe.

Indeed. Might as well let him go.

SAMPLE OF CARTOON PROHIBITED IN SWEDEN AND EUROPE. This funny cartoon of a happy fellow landed the cartoonist in jail and torture in Sweden. The case went up all the way to the Swedish Supreme court, which declared the cartoon ''criminal,'' and he was henceforth burned up in a Fahrenheit 451 conflagration never to revive. The shocking case coming from a supposed ''civilized'' country then went up to the sages of culture and high morality, namely Strasbourg. They also decided the cartoon utterly shocking, and applauded Sweden's Fahrenheit 451 action. This makes the cartoon ''criminal'' in Europe. Who is next for some cartoon Fahrenheit 451 burning? The ones behind the Book Burning action charges was the main Synagogue in Stockholm, Sweden.

Long live cartoonists!
