In Pictures: Lars Vilks, Plots And The Assimilation Of Ireland’s Muslims

WHEN we first heard that Swedish cartoonist Lars Vilks had been targeted by Irish Muslims, we thought it no bad thing. Ok, Lars might be murdered by lunatics, but it seemed that finally Ireland’s immigrant community had assimilated and was grasping the concept of ultra violence fed by religious fundamentalism.

Lars Vilks had depicted the Prophet Mohammed with the body of a dog and Irish Muslims were gonna get him. One day they’d paint murals of the killers on walls erected around Muslim enclaves. One day there would be parades.

And then came the bad news. The Irish plotters weren’t Irish. One was Algerian national Ali Charafe Damache, the other a Libyan called Abdul-Salam Mansour Al-Jehani.

And then it got more disappointing. Damache was charged with sending a menacing text message while Al-Jehani was charged with an immigration offence.

In other Irish news, everyone can at least agree that the Jews are to blame…
