Copenhagen - An explosion in a Copenhagen hotel toilet may have been linked to terrorist activities, the head of the Danish secret service PET said Saturday.
Jakob Scharf said initial investigations indicated that Friday afternoon's blast might have been a botched preparation for a terrorist attack.
There have been fears of a possible attack by radical Islamists in Denmark ever since the 2005 publication by a Danish newspaper of controversial cartoons depicting the Prophet Muhammed.
Friday's bomb scare took place a day before the ninth anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in the United States

"The Religion of Perpetual Outrage". It's been five years since the cartoon debacle.
The topic, Chanel, is so important as it exposes the craven basis for what the left refers to as 'intolerance.'
You correctly identified it as fear.
The bending and bowing of our chief administrator, the threats of violence, by Iman Rauf , if he is forced to move the mosque, an army general who fears the enemy moreso if the koran is burned, are all of a piece.
My fav, about which I don't know whether to laugh of cry, is the supreme bastion of liberalism, Yale University, which published a book on the cartoons...but would not allow publication of the subject itself...
"In an astonishing act, Yale University Press has told an author that her book addressing the controversy over the Muhammad cartoons will be published — without any of the 12 cartoons shown in the book. Muslims consider images of Muhammad to be blasphemous and particularly object to the insulting cartoons, which caused riots and deaths worldwide. Jytte Klausen, author of “The Cartoons That Shook the World” wanted the cartoons to be shown in the book.
While many in the West publicly defended the right of free speech, many countries have quietly passed blasphemy laws and cracked down on anyone insulting Islam or other religions, here. For a prior column criticizing this trend, click here.
While Yale University Press insists that it spoke to a wide range of “experts,” I cannot image the legal experts who supported such an act of self-censorship. I found the cartoons to be juvenile and insulting. However, an academic book on the cartoons — and censorship — should not itself be censored. Yale has caved into violent extremists who killed over 200 people and insist that other cultures must abide by their religious views. The decision must rest with the author, who clearly found the images to be important to a book on those very images. It is like publishing a book on the Sistine Chapel while barring any images of the paintings."
