The Tundra Tabloids and Lars Vilks in 2008, Stockholm
The jihadi in question is no more “Swedish” than the man on the moon, but the Swedish media will, laughably, label him as such. The TT extends its warmest regards to this hero of free speech and defender of sanity, we need many more heroes just like him. KGS

“Swedish artist says there ‘too much snow’ for amateur terrorists to kill him”
“I can feel pretty safe,” he said, adding, “Right now the weather is looking really good (for me). It’s too cold and there is too much snow for someone to try an amateur terrorist act.
Vilks dismissed the video as a desperate attempt for the organisation to recruit new members.“That organisation has no resources to speak of. They are almost bankrupt,” he said.“They send out that type of information to try to find volunteers that could interest them and to get attention. It’s something that can only lure in a few crazy people.” Vilks dismissed the video as a desperate attempt for the organisation to recruit new members.“That organisation has no resources to speak of.
