First go shoot some cartoonists because you feel disrespected by their work. Then go find some Jews and kill them as well.
This was the ghastly scene in Paris just a few short weeks ago when extremist terrorists shot up Charlie Hebdo headquarters and then killed a policewoman and several Jews who were shopping for dinner at a kosher market.
Now we learn that some people displeased with cartoons went into a Copenhagen cafe today and tried to kill a cartoonist. The cartoonist survived but another man was killed.
Later in the day, the attack on a Copenhagen synagogue was reported. One person shot in the head and two policemen injured
Helle Thorning-Schmidt, Denmark’s prime minister, said: “Everything indicates that the shooting was a political attack and therefore an act of terror . . . We face some difficult days when our unity will be tested. But in Denmark we will never bow to violence.”
Hours later a second shooting was reported in an attack on a synagogue in central Copenhagen, Danish police said, adding that it was too early to say whether the incident was connected to an earlier one at an arts café. One person was shot in the head and two police were wounded.
François Hollande, French president, said he had expressed all France’s solidarity to Ms Thorning-Schmidt and that the country’s interior minister, Bernard Cazeneuve, would make his way to Copenhagen.
Denmark has been on edge ever since the attack at Charlie Hebdo in Paris last month. The first newspaper to publish drawings of Mohammed was Jyllands-Posten, a Danish daily.

Do I detect a pattern here? I hope I am wrong. In the meantime, Je Suis Charlie.
May the families of the victims be comforted and the may the wounded be healed.
