Mohammed cartoon controversy comes to Canada: Security concerns cancel 2 Lars Vilks dates
NB: Lars Vilks, Mohammed Cartoonist, will be in Toronto Sunday Oct 3. Ticket information here.
“It appears that Mr. Vilks is considered a very high security threat by U.S. law enforcement, and it was decided that they would cancel because they could not secure the event to everyone’s liking,” Ambrogio said.
Much more information is available at Gates of Vienna:

Support Free Speech: Join Lars Vilks’ Art Project
Dereliction of Duty
The onus should NEVER be on the speaker to pay for security against leftist and/or jihadist thugs who use threatened or actual violence to suppress the freedoms of speech, the press, and assembly.
It is the job of the government to round up, arrest, try, and imprison (or deport) ALL lawbreakers who suppress our freedoms by threatening or committing violent acts, regardless of the religion or ideology espoused by the perpetrators.
Our public safety authorities have completely failed to do their jobs. There is absolutely NO excuse for this!
Update: Beeduwine points out:
Vilks is no cartoonist. He is an artist, art critic, art history phd, writer and debateur.
