When Danish political cartoonist Kurt Westergaard was attacked at home by an ax-wielding man, he didn't lock himself in the bathroom - instead, he utilized the panic room:
Westergaard took his 5-year-old granddaughter into the "panic room" when he realized what was happening, Chief Superintendent Ole Madsen said.
Westergaard, who has been threatened for drawing cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad, is ordinarily accompanied by bodyguards when he leaves his home, but nobody was on guard at the house Friday, the Security and Intelligence Service told CNN.

Anyhoo, people should know in this day and age NOT to do anything remotely considered offensive to the religion of Islam. Doesn't matter if it is unfair or not, that is the reality in this world, so live with it. The director of the recent disaster movie 2012 was a genius for choosing not to depict the natural destruction of Mecca.
Honestly, this is all a lot of nonsense. I understand the ax wielding haters about as much as I understand all the racial backlash. What about the Christian fundamentalists who killed Dr. Tiller after years of terror and attempted murder? A fundamentalist is a fundamentalist is a fundamentalist. I somehow manage not to live in fear of my mother, a church going Christian.
Muhammed was no prophet, but a pedophile.
There, I'm done for the day.
I just choked on my wine!
Yeah, Allah forbid people stick up for freedom of speech or anything.
Crazy, psycho, religious fanatics using their religion to condone violence.
I don't agree with it, but at the same time I value my life. I also don't feel any need to make any such statements from the safety of my internet computer.
The police shot the intruder twice when he tried to attack the officers later.
They wheeled him into the courtroom on a hospital bed for the arraignment hearing two days later.
I would not even think about insulting Jesus Christ or Bhudda or Confucius etc... Its called common decency.
The fact that he now has to hide like a dog from unseen and unknown faces everywhere is a testament to true karma. Do as you would be done by, and if you don't, deal with the consequences.
