Denmark Shooting, Free Speech and Self-Censorship
A shooting at a free speech event in Copenhagen, Denmark, targeting cartoonist Lars Vilks, is discussed. The event is framed as a blow to the "happiest place on earth," leading to increased fear and self-censorship across Europe.
The media has intensified coverage of "Jihad Jane" and a second suspected female jihadist in Ireland. The targets allegedly plotted to kill Swedish artist Lars Vilks, known for his controversial depictions of the Prophet Mohammed. Vilks stated in an interview with the Irish Times that he feels safe and continues to walk freely in Sweden despite the reported threats.
