Home of Swedish Muhammad cartoonist attacked

[ProgressiveProfessor]

The home of a Swedish artist who once drew a cartoon of the Prophet Muhammad as a dog has been hit by a suspected arson attack, police said Saturday.
Lars Vilks, who lives in Nyhamnslage in southern Sweden, was not at home during the attack late Friday night and no one was reported injured.

It was the latest in a week of attacks on the 53-year-old cartoonist, who was assaulted Tuesday by a man while he lectured at a university and saw his Web site apparently attacked by hacker on Wednesday.

3. We were specifically told not to post them during the original melee

since it was considered offensive to some students on campus. Many profs were in protest over the crushing of free expression. I do see them worn on t-shirts occasionally. The follow on Porky Pig one seems to be the most common, maybe its on Cafe Press. We need much more of that kind of protest. Religious claims of sacrilege cannot be allowed to override our basic freedoms of speech, protest, and expression.
