    She should learn to use a gun, wear body armour, and stay in the US, ideally moving to Texas where she will actually have the legal right to shoot dead any crazed fundamentalists who try to attack her, and bystanders are much more likely to draw out weapons and start popping away to defend her.

    In France she's going to be much less safe from Islamic extremists, and have less ability to use self-defence or to have bystanders help.

    I also think it's a bad move to cater to extremists by chickening out. Not only do you lose self-respect and freedom, you endanger other outspoken people by caving in to extremism and thus encouraging further intimidation.

  2. Islamic extremists 'plotted to kill Danish Mohammad cartoonist'

    Danish security forces say they have arrested several Islamic extremists who were plotting to assassinate one of the 12 artists behind the Mohammad cartoons that provoked widespread riots across the Middle East and Asia.

    The Danish Intelligence Agency said the target of the plot was Kurt Westergaard, the cartoonist who drew the Prophet Mohammad wearing an explosive turban, one of a series of cartoons published in the Danish daily Jyllands-Posten on September 30, 2005.

    Mr Westergaard and his wife Gitte, 68, has since received many threats and have been under police guard for three months, forced to move around between various secret addresses.

    According to Danish media, the plotters planned to assassinate Mr Westergaard at his home. Both Danish and foreign citizens are among the arrested extremists.
