It\u2019s madness, this lethal intolerance – and the ideology and Iranian Government which foster it:<\/p>\n

Irish police arrested seven Muslims suspected of conspiracy to murder Tuesday over an alleged plot to kill a Swedish cartoonist <\/a>who drew the Prophet Mohammed with the body of a dog, they said. <\/em><\/p>\n

The four men and three women were arrested in the southern Irish towns of Cork and Waterford following an international operation. <\/em><\/p>\n

A police source confirmed press reports that they were Muslims arrested over an alleged plot to assassinate Swedish cartoonist Lars Vilks [pictured at right], who has a A$110,000 bounty on his head from an Al-Qaeda-linked group.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Why would seven people who are allegedly so violently against a fundamental freedom of Western society then choose to live in that freedom\u2019s air – and why on earth were they allowed to?:\u00a0\u00a0 …\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

The seven people arrested range in age from mid 20s to late 40s, Irish police said, while state broadcaster RTE reported that they were originally from Morocco and Yemen, but were all legally in Ireland.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\"\"<\/a>An American is charged:<\/p>\n

The self-dubbed \u201cJihad Jane\u201d who thought her blond, all-American profile would help mask her plan to kill a Swedish cartoonist <\/a>is a rare case of a U.S. woman inciting foreign terrorism and shows the latest evolution of the global threat, authorities say. <\/em><\/p>\n

The suburban Philadelphia woman, Colleen R. LaRose, was accused in Tuesday\u2019s indictment of trying to recruit jihadist fighters, and pledging to murder the artist, marry a terrorism suspect so he could move to Europe and martyr herself if necessary\u2026 <\/em><\/p>\n

The indictment paints a picture of a woman whose devotion to the cause grew as she prowled the Internet and conversed with a loose band of terrorist suspects in Europe and South Asia. She eventually agreed to try killing Swedish artist Lars Vilks, who had angered Muslims by depicting the Prophet Muhammad with the body of a dog\u2026 <\/em><\/p>\n

LaRose had targeted Vilks and had online discussions about her plans with at least one of several suspects apprehended over that plot Tuesday in Ireland, according to the U.S. official.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Even more important that we all stand by the right of Vilks to draw the world as he sees it, and to defy those who seek to impose their faith or strictures by terror. After all, it is merely for this that Vilks must die:<\/p>\n

In the nation of Sweden there is a contemporary urban folk custom of placing in the center of \u201croundabouts\u201d (the circular traffic islands in the middle of major intersections) whimsical homemade sculptures representing pet dogs. The sculptures, which are fairly commonplace in Sweden, are called \u201croundabout dogs\u201d (rondellhund in Swedish). In the summer of 2007, Swedish artist Lars Vilks made some paintings of Mohammed as a roundabout dog; after they were rejected by two art galleries wary of controversy, a sketch based on one of the paintings ended up being published in a small local Swedish newspaper, Nerikes Allehanda. Incredibly, this ignited an international furor, with protests, diplomatic quarrels, and threats of violence. The original sketch, seen above, was also posted on Vilk\u2019s blog<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
