En fighter for al Shabaab-militsen som kommer fra Sverige, truer Lars Vilks på livet i en ny video.

Det ekstremistene kanskje ikke har kalkulert med er hvilken virkning en slik handling vil ha innad i Sverige og for forholdet mellom europeere og muslimer i Europa. Derfor burde egentlig muslimer slå ring om Lars Vilks.

«A Swedish fighter with the Shebab, a Somalian milita with ties to Al-Qaeda, has urged Muslims to kill an artist (Lars Vilks, red.) from Sweden who depicted the Prophet Mohammed as a dog, US monitoring group SITE said Tuesday.

«Wherever you are, if not today or tomorrow, know that we haven’t yet forgotten about you,» said the Shebab member Abu Zaid in a video warning to artist Lars Vilks.

«We will get hold of you and with Allah’s permission we will catch you wherever you are and in whatever hole you are hiding in,» Zaid said in a recruitment video with English and Swahili subtitles that calls for Muslims to join the radical movement.»
