A man arrested in Stockholm in connection to a foiled plot to murder staff at Jyllands-Posten, a Danish newspaper that published caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad, is set to face trial in Denmark, a Swedish court ruled Monday.
- Suspects planned to slit journalists' throats (31 Jan 11)
- Copenhagen terror suspects kept in custody (27 Jan 11)
- Denmark terror plan 'destined to fail': expert (1 Jan 11)
"Sabhi Zalouti will be sent to Denmark for legal proceedings in accordance to the European arrest order Denmark's justice ministry put out on March 9th 2011," the Attunda district court in the Stockholm suburb of Sollentuna said in its decision
Court documents showed Zalouti agreed with the decision on the basis that he could serve his sentence in Sweden.
He was being held on suspicion of "preparing terrorist crimes" and is wanted in Denmark on charges of attempted terrorism.
Danish officials said Zalouti and his accomplices were planning to kill as many as possible at the Copenhagen offices of the Jyllands-Posten daily.
In 2005, Jyllands-Posten published a dozen cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad
that triggered violent and sometimes deadly protests around the world.

Might I suggest learning to play a new instrument? The world can sure do with some more music.

When are Swedes going to wake up from their naive dreams of utopia.
No doubt most Muslims are not violent, but it misses the broader point:
On the whole - ISLAM IS INCOMPATIBLE WITH EUROPE as anything other than a marginal, and unfortunately marginalized group.
MULTICULTURALISM IS FAILING.
Their basic problem is that they have no respect for self or others. The problem becomes worse when they are trying so hard to eradicate christianity and western values. To make matters far worse, they know they cannot defeat big Satan (USA) and so they save their power and energy to kill off little Satan (Israel)
Now as a French diplomat called Israel a shitty little nation, this makes it even worse. A shitty little nation of Jews, whom they are taught to hate and look down upon, actually beat then in battle. The Arabs have lost all their wars with either the Soviet Union, the EU, UN, or even the USA to save their ass. What a bunch of misfits in modern society they are.
Oh, wait, I thought of a way: "Honor killing" one's own daughter for being too "Westernized."
Islam is nothing more than a disease.
Maybe we should have a church of atheism and send volunteers to doors of apartments in immigrant neighborhoods with a copy of "the god delusion" !!! and invitation for Sunday talks about biology, history and evolution.
But however Islam does not allow to kill an innocents or if someone insult you . They have insulted the God's messenger and showed how cheap and losers they are, they are not respecting other religions. It is very common that Muslim do love more their Prophet than anyone else and you should except this kind of attacks if you provoke them .
But none of these violence are justified by Islam. At the time prophet Muhammad there was woman who always thrown garbage on Prophet Muhammad when he passed by her home to go pray and one day she got sick and prophet visited and prayed for her to become healthy and she became Muslim.
Islam teaches us how to be patience love and respect and also teach us how to defend our mother lands if someone try to invade us! it was Islamic teachings for Britain which the British people learn t and fought back Germans hilter at the time when they tried to occupy them. Or when the American fought the British Empire . It makes sense all fights for their land and I wish we had no oil :)
Guess I am getting more and more paranoid for every day day. Oh well.........my grandchildren have to worry about it.
This may be so BF, but some are not paying attention to this lesson.
well, it all is sad but dont underestimate and try to love others :)
peace and Love
"Islam does not allow to kill an innocents or if someone insult you "
followed by:
"and you should except this kind of attacks if you provoke them . "
and followed by:
But none of these violence are justified by Islam.
Very intersting, I have not even seen politicians flip flop as much as this.
"Islam teaches us how to be patience love and respect "
Interesting, perhaps you should tell those
"and you should except this kind of attacks if you provoke them . "
to brush up on some love and respect?
Enough already with your lies. We can read the koran/hadith for ourselves. It's FILLED with hate and constant calls to violence against disbelievers. Stop lying and spare us your taqiyya nonsense.
You may choose to ignore these parts which is good, but others do not and they are not making up the calls to hate, violence and intolerance in the koran.
They are reading the same nonsensical book as you are and would say the YOU are not the real Muslims for ignoring them.
You idiots seem to forget that just few months ago you were running around scared after that retard who blew him self up in Stockholm. What a tactical failure this idiot was...never the less he was a middle eastern immigrant who was educated in Europe and had a life that was wonderful compared to the cave he was living in before. He had it all! Education, work, money, well dressed and paid for by us tax payers to have him turn around and try to cause mass destruction to the Swedish people. Wake up!!!! And this all happened after he started reading the koran and became radicalized. I mean he threw his whole life away for his 13 virgins....I'm just saying...
All three are hate filled and most likely written by sociopaths.
What a pile of excrement......
"Simple solution: give us all your oil and then there will be no problem"
Report on SVT this morning there is oil in Gotland so we ( my mates and I) are about to invade and take over the island.
So you can have all the Mid-East oil and the troubles
It is not only OIL, You see when the western gets out of money how they seals the Asian middle eastern money and never return it. They have sealed billions of Dollars. big thieves! Most of these western countries are being built by these stolen money. At the time it was Wikings now they r clean shaved and wear ties hahaha (kidding) another example Look at the ( ) Queen, her crown is stolen diamond of India. "Kohe Noor" And they wear it proudly.
By doing the inside job of 9-11 now the US has control's over all Banking systems, your privacy, your all documents, The make billions and you need to ask now USA if i can send more than 300 usd to my family. It was not only oil it was on everything which has more money than oil.
Muslims are using political correctness for shutting down any critisizm of Islam and it's national-socialistic ways.
A muslim tries to kill some opinionated caricaturist? The "moderates" explain it by the strength of traditions.
Muslims attack minority jews on the streets? The "moderates" explain it by the politics of Israel.
Muslim is trying to explode in Stockholm? The "moderates" explain it by the racism of Swedes, in comparison to the "open minded" muslims.
A woman is killed "honour killing" in Malmö? The "moderates" explain it by the rotten values of the westerners that impact the pure minds of the muslim women.
The violent part of Islam is attacking, invading, setting it's rules on the locals (no dogs in taxis in Minneapolis, even if it is blind-walking dogs, demands to take off Union Jack from english prisons not to hurt the gentle feelings of the muslim criminals, demands to stop using "+" sign in british schools, demands for sharia laws for marriage/divorce in Sweden, defense of wife beating in the court etc.),
The less violent part (but much more dangerous) is using the democratic values of Europeans to force acceptance of the fact under a cloak of traditions.
AIDS is using the same methodology. Attack cells that are the defense mechanism against an attack. Like this the defense is neutralised.
Europe is sick and paralyzed by it's own PC behaviour against a violent and cunning invader.
