MORE HOLY TERROR – AT 10:14 A.M. ET:  Through careful planning and good luck, a life was saved in Denmark in the midst of a terror attack.  The life belonged to Danish cartoonist Kurt Westergaard, famous for drawing the cartoon of the Prophet Mohammed that caused all that uproar in the Muslim world in 2005.  Our superb contributor, Renee Nielsen, who is visiting Denmark, has alerted us to some of the best reports of the incident.

COPENHAGEN (AP) -- A Somali man was charged Saturday with two counts of attempted murder for an attack on a Danish artist whose 2005 cartoon of the Prophet Muhammad ignited riots and outrage across the Muslim world, authorities said.

The 28-year-old Somali -- who had ties to al-Qaida -- broke into Kurt Westergaard's home in Aarhus on Friday night armed with an ax and a knife, said Jakob Scharf, head of Denmark's PET intelligence agency.

The 75-year-old artist, who has been the target of several death threats since depicting the Prophet Muhammad with a bomb-shaped turban, pressed an alarm and fled with his 5-year-old granddaughter to a specially made safe room.

Officers arrived two minutes later and tried to arrest the assailant, but then shot him in the hand and knee when he threatened them with the ax, said Preben Nielsen of the Aarhus police.

Can you imagine the result if Mr. Westergaard hadn't planned his security?

Another act of terror.  How many have there been recently?  I've lost count.  And how many months has it been since the Obama administration banned the word "terror," replacing it with "man-caused disasters"?  Lost count of that, too.  That change has apparently been reversed.

Britain's Sun reports:

Jakob Scharf, who heads Denmark's intelligence service says the attack was "terror related," adding the suspected assailant has close contacts to the Somali terrorist group, al-Shabaab.

COMMENT:  A life was saved, but how many are now threatened?  And how many authors, journalists and filmmakers will now think twice, or three times, before writing or filming anything that could "offend" certain sensitivities?

Notice the silence of "civil liberties" groups.  Notice the equal silence of the "multiculturalist" crowd.  We quoted a piece just yesterday - see it just below - on the way in which some of these groups aid terror.  We don't take back a word.
