Seven people have been arrested in the Irish Republic over an alleged plot to kill a Swedish cartoonist for depicting the Prophet Muhammad, police say.
The four men and three women are all Muslim, according to media reports, though a police statement did not confirm this.
Cartoonist Lars Vilks had depicted the Prophet Muhammad with the body of a dog in the Nerikes Allehanda newspaper.
Islamic militants then put a $100,000 (£67,000) bounty on his head.
Irish police said the seven suspects were arrested after an investigation that also involved police in the US and other European countries.
The suspects ranged in age from their mid-20s to late-40s.
Ireland's RTE news network reported that five were detained in Waterford and two others in Cork.

I think you will find that there is not a lot of nice things being said about the Dubai/Israel thingy. And if they are found to be behind this, then there will be even more condemnations and criticisms from far and wide. I do feel safer slamming the Israelis than you though.

but i don't agree with the freedom of speech bullshit of the west. demonizing muslims is a fair game but there is not a soul who would breathe a word against israeli crimes or a jew for that matter.. if any one dared to do it he/she will be labled as an anti-semite, which is a punishable crime and a stigma forever. trust me these cartoonist always have an agenda which is instigating hot headed zealots and further polarizing muslims in the west..

I understand that the teddy bear teacher and the news paper, re cartoon, appologised, can we leave it at that.

i will do if i saw him

call me whatever the names you like

this is me and this is my very big RED LINE

he can kill all my family members and i could forgive him

but i can't forgive the one who make a joke of our prophet

sorry guys , maybe you know me reasonable, but this issue is beyond my mind

he could be infidel or atheist or whatever he likes i don't care,but this is my red line

I thought he would have been assassinated by now to be honest.
