Gunmen killed one person and injured three police officers during a free speech debate in Copenhagen attended by a controversial Swedish cartoonist, officials said.

 

The French ambassador was also present at the debate.

 

Reports say up to 40 shots were fired during the attack and a manhunt has been launched.

 

Swedish cartoonist Lars Vilks has faced death threats after drawing caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad.

 

He was not harmed during the attack.

 

Shortly after the shooting, a message appeared on the Twitter feed of French ambassador Francois Zimeray saying he was still alive.

 

Swedish cartoonist Lars Vilks has faced death threats for many years

 

 

Emergency services gather at the scene following the attack

 

The area around the venue is under lockdown, the BBC's Malcolm Brabant reports.

 

Police have erected cordons and are searching a nearby park, he adds.

 

There were reports that police were hunting two gunmen, but this is unconfirmed.

 

Lars Vilks stoked controversy in 2007 by drawing pictures of the Prophet Muhammad dressed as a dog.

 

An organiser of the event, Helle Merete Brix, said she clearly considered the incident as an attack on Mr Vilks, reported the Associated Press news agency.

 

In 2010 two brothers tried to burn down the cartoonist's house in southern Sweden and were imprisoned for attempted arson.

 

The shooters managed to get away, and a man hunt is currently under way

It seems impossible until it's done.

Can we start a new meme? Like the "Thanks Obama!" one, except we replace Obama with "Muhammad".

I'm curious, was the debate concerning free speech, or was it a debate utilizing free speech? Still sad people think violence is going to solve their problems.

just saying that even people making a statement is shot, if they stop using goat as a form of communication and start using internet, they might hire hackers to find you for starting the meme. :P

as many people can tell you I also hate violence. I'm just saying if this was directed at black people instead of Muslims I have the feeling that the public reaction would be much diffrent

Thats that. If you need to get in touch chances are you can find someone that knows me that can get in touch.

This was directed at Islam, not Muslims. 

And what to members of a religion have to do with a race? Are you one of those people who screams "Islamophobia!" and thinks that ridicule/critique of Islam is the same as racism?

He's just saying if it was satire and generalization over a DIFFERENT group of people, for example black people, the guy wouldn't have been allowed to speak in public. And saying it was directed at Islam and not Muslims is like saying racism is directed towards the "race", not people of that "race".

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨

I dont understand, what is the different between Islam and Muslim? Religion and race?

Religion of Peace

 

We are peacuful unless you dont mock muhamed , otherwise we will shoot you.

 

God damn it extremists ruin everything.

Their behaviour is extreme when compared to others, but are they really extremists? They're just Muslims following the Quran more closely and with less nitpicking. The Quran says a few times that mocking the prophet is one of the biggest offences possible.
