COPENHAGEN, Denmark -- The intelligence branch of Denmark's police says that three terror suspects arrested in Norway in July were likely planning an attack against a Danish newspaper that caricatured the Prophet Muhammad.

The PET intelligence agency says the plot was believed to be targeting either the Jyllands-Posten newspaper directly or people in Denmark linked to the 12 drawings that sparked outrage in Muslim countries in 2006.

Muslims Not 'Free of Being Mocked,' Danish Cartoonist Says

Here's to Kurt " Tell it like it is " Wetergaard !

Fox News
Muslims need to develop a sense of humor and an appreciation of satire — and they need to understand that they are not "free of being mocked or being offended," says the Danish caricaturist whose cartoon depicting the Prophet Muhammad incited rage throughout the Muslim world four years ago.

Kurt Westergaard told roughly a dozen listeners Wednesday night that he will "always" be ready to defend an individual's right to religious freedom.

"As the Danish tradition is for satire, we say you can speak freely, you can vote, you can speak out anytime, but there's only one thing you can't do — you can't be free of being mocked or being offended," Westergaard said. "That's the conditions in Denmark and so many countries."

Westergaard spoke at a private residence in midtown Manhattan in conjunction with the Hudson New York Briefing Council. It was just his second appearance in the U.S. since the 2005 publication of his notorious cartoon, which depicted Muhammad wearing a turban resembling a lit bomb. In Islam, any depiction of Muhammad is forbidden and considered blasphemy.

Westergaard's controversial cartoon was one of 12 that appeared in the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten in September 2005 and led to widespread violent protests throughout the Middle East, Asia, Denmark and Africa .
