Police: 1 Dead in Shooting at Copenhagen Free Speech Event
I wonder what could have caused this!?!
A gunman fired on a cafe in Copenhagen as it hosted a free speech event Saturday, killing one man, Danish police said. The event was organized by Swedish artist Lars Vilks, who has faced numerous threats for caricaturing the Prophet Muhammad.
Oh....
Du posts a silly chart about scary muslim violence and reporting...

38. Cute chart, but I'm not sure you really want to start citing all the facts. So I will.
There are more hate crimes committed due to a bias against the victim's sexuality than against a victim's religion. Many of those crimes are committed by people who cite their own religion as reason for attacking other people, in the US most of those religious people are Christians but many are Muslim and the press, including the LGBT press, has taken great care to downplay the religious motivations of certain criminals.
Last year, a man cited his religion and a desire to revenge US actions in the Middle East as reason he had executed a few gay men, point blank to the head. Like at least one of his victims, the shooter was a Muslim. New Year's Eve 2013 a man who openly cited his religion and hate for gay people dumped and ignited a can of gasoline in a Seattle gay bar, a Muslim. The press barley covered these crimes and certainly did not emphasize the faith of the criminals, although the criminals sure did.
This sort of list, it goes on and on and on.
Around 1450 hate crimes toward LGBT people a year. Virtually every last one is committed by a heterosexual, and almost all of them are 'of faith'. 6 weeks into the year, there have already been 5 trans women of color murdered in the US. Not a ****ing word from the press.
Of the hate crimes in the US motivated by bias toward the victim's religion, 60% are toward Jewish people, 14% toward Muslims. So in 2013 there were about 160 bias crimes against Muslims, about 950 against LGBT and about 875 against Jewish people.
This is not an area you are welcome to exploit. There are thousands of victims of these crimes a year. This issue belongs to them.
It's not Islamic violence that is critical, people! It's violence against the Gheys!

And they find the perpetrators. My guess is they are Muslims unfortunately which will only further tensions.
Edited to acknowledge that one of the wounded has died. Dammit.
40 rounds fired. I wonder what kind of weapon the perp had?

5. No need to guess 'if it is a Muslim', just use the handy Deadly Event Chart of covering Muslims.
Fred says it couldn't be muslims.

8. Oh ok. This shooting has NOTHING to do with the fatwa against Lars Vilks
Who organized the free speech seminar.
Got it.

29. Facts mean nothing to some here
Yet the killings in NC HAD to be a hate crime BECAUSE the victims were Muslims.

23. Actually, we don't know why it happened
but we can pretty much guess why it happened. Some right wing nut doesn't understand that his crazy religion can't control free speech in a democracy.
But...maybe I'm wrong.
Yup- Radical murderous Islamist ****s are 'right-wing nuts'.

Probably radical Lutherns.
