One man was killed and three policemen wounded after two gunmen fired scores of bullets at Copenhagen café holding an event in support of freedom of speech. Two Middle Eastern-looking suspects, heard yelling in Arabic, fled by car and are still at large.
#Danish Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt says the #Copenhagen shooting is a terrorist attack and the whole country is on high alert

ABC News At least one gunman opened fire Saturday on a Copenhagen cultural center, killing a man in what authorities called a likely terror attack against a free speech event featuring an artist who had caricatured the Prophet Muhammad.
BBC Dennis Myhoff-Brink, who was attending the conference, said he heard “about 20 or 30 shots” and people “yelling in Arabic”.
The shooting, which also wounded three police officers, came a month after extremists killed 12 people at a satirical newspaper in Paris that had sparked Muslim outrage with its depictions of Muhammad.
Swedish artist Lars Vilks, who organized and attended Saturday’s event but escaped unharmed, told The Associated Press he believed he was the intended target of the shooting.
“What other motive could there be? It’s possible it was inspired by Charlie Hebdo,” he said, referring to the Jan. 7 attack by Islamic extremists on the French newspaper in Paris. The 68-year-old Vilks has received numerous threats for drawing the Prophet Muhammad with a dog’s body in 2007.
Danish police said the gunman used an automatic weapon to shoot through the windows of the Krudttoenden cultural center, which TV footage showed were riddled with bullet holes. The gunman then fled in a carjacked Volkswagen Polo that was found later a few kilometers (miles) away, police said.
Vilks said he was attending a freedom of speech event in a lecture hall inside the building, which also houses a cafe, when shots rang out outside. “At first there was panic. People crawled down under tables,” Vilks said. “My bodyguards quickly pulled me away.”

Freedom of speech and freedom of thought is the life blood of democracy. We must defend freedom of speech.

The only error by Lars Vilks was he insulted dogs.

It seems that Muslims can spew they vile hatred to westerners about any topic they like openly on the streets, in mosques, in schools etc but if we want to have a discussion about anything Islamic its okay for them to kill us. I think the world has had enough of the garbage that is Islam. Its time for Muslims to be charged with Blasphemy and hate crimes as this case and all other terror attacks are a deliberate attempt to take us over.
vigiloz says

Should Islam Be Banned for Blasphemy?
Absolutely YES.
Islam wants to SHOUT “Blasphemy” , and DEMANDS “Blasphemy Laws” to be enforced, when anyone speaks the DOCUMENTED TRUTH about Bloody Murdering Islam, Muslims, their so called “Religion”, or their “Prophet”.
HOWEVER Islam and Muslims, in their Bloody quest for World Dominance, have NO problem in THEMSELVES “Blaspheming” ANY Religion that ISN’T Islam, and even DEFEND their so called “Right” to do so.

The “Free Speech” Event was chosen specifically to make a statement.
Import us into your Free Republic as “refugees” and here’s why we’re REALLY here. . . . To colonize your Countries as soon to be Islamic lands.

Shooting happened at 16h00 (local time) and at 20h00 belgian mainstream media told “we do not know by now the motive…”
Filthy cowards , I knew it right then when I got the news (on the www) it was a muslim attack.
In the evenig the mainstream media named it “terrorism” not a single time they talking about MUSLIM terrorists..o no
Same as the killings in Paris just …terrorists.
BareNakedIslam says
I just took an educated guess that the shooters were muslim, have yet to confirm.

Islamic adherents prove their childish insanities at every chance. And if they don’t have a chance come naturally, they manufacture one.
Thank G-D there’s a new world coming, and they can sit and stew in their own diarrhea.
