Threatened Danish cartoonist told to leave hotel
Feb 19, 2008, 9:46 GMT
Copenhagen - Threatened Danish newspaper cartoonist Kurt Westergaard has been asked to leave the hotel he has been staying at, media reports said Tuesday.
'I suspected this could happen,' Westergaard told the Berlingske Tidende newspaper after the hotel management asked him and his wife to leave by Thursday, citing fears for the safety of other guests.
Westergaard's depiction of the Prophet Mohammed with a bomb in his turban was one of 12 published in newspapers that sparked violent protests in 2006 by Muslims around in the world.
A week ago, security police said they uncovered an alleged plot to murder Westergaard and arrested three men in the city of Aarhus. Two Tunisian nationals face deportation.
Acting on advice from police, the cartoonist has since November lived at secret locations over the alleged plot.
Leading Danish newspapers on Wednesday republished the cartoon in what was said to be a stand for freedom of expression.

sounds shameful.. especially when Danes are asked to leave danish hotels.. because some idiots don't have spines to speak against Jihad...
What's He afraid of?
We all know, and are told repeatedly that Islam is the religion of peace!
Surely we haven't been deceived; have we?
Retaliation for a minor incident such as the Muhammad cartoon stems from hatred that comes from the religion of Islam. This proves once again that Islam isn't the religion of peace.
Islam is the religion of peace? Islam is a religion of blood and death particularly of women, because the real father of Islam is Satan..
Our nations just become intolerable places to live as their numbers and demands grow.
Something dreadful has to happen to us before deportations begin of the muslim menace and curse to mankind.
The sooner the muslims are tossed the better for all free nations.
Who should be asked to leave? A cartoonist from a hotel, or muslims from Denmark? Where are the hundreds of thousands of moderate muslims in Denmark saying 'not in my name, not in islam's name'? The silence is deafening.
Islam is Satan's child
This will all be sorted out when Christ returns - until then,
I'll pray for the EU
The danish people are not the ones that are cowards,but their government is.
The European governments are banding together with the muslim barbarians against their own people,the politicians have sold their nations to the islamic invaders.
If the people of Europe will not rise and throw these traitors out,they will lose their nations,their national languages,their religion and ultimately their freedom,they will have to live as slaves in their own countries.
Thre is no way to deal with the islamic plague,but to expell them from your land and never allow them to return.
This is not a religion,it is a DEATH CULT.
The sleeping Europeans will take a lot more abuse before they wake up, they are still waiting for bombers and destruction before they stir. They are content to give away their lands to jawas who would kill them in a heart beat. Maybe when the jawas build golden tits on their cathedrals, in France, Germany, Switzerland (opps already did), like they did on the Haig Sofia, or temple mount, maybe they will awaken and realise that their lives are worth defending. Or maybe not.

Quoting the article:'Copenhagen - Threatened Danish newspaper cartoonist Kurt Westergaard has been asked to leave the hotel he has been staying at, media reports said Tuesday.
'I suspected this could happen,' Westergaard told the Berlingske Tidende newspaper after the hotel management asked him and his wife to leave by Thursday, citing fears for the safety of other guests.'
This is the kind of spineless boobery we've learned to expect from EU in general.
