UPDATED: Seven Devout Muslims Arrested in Ireland for Plotting to Assassinate a Muhammed Cartoonist

UPDATED - SCROLL DOWN!

Seven Muslims arrested in Ireland for plotting to assassinate a Muhammed Cartoonist
Police in Ireland on Tuesday arrested seven people over an alleged plot to kill Swedish cartoonist Lars Vilks who depicted the Prophet Muhammad with the body of a dog.

... The force says the arrests were part of an investigation into a "conspiracy to murder an individual in another jurisdiction."

... The investigation involved law enforcement agencies in the US and several European countries.

... Islamic law generally opposes any depiction of the prophet, even favorable, for fear it could lead to idolatry.

Vilks is not the first cartoonist to have received death threats for drawings of the prophet.

Kurt Westergaard, a Danish cartoonist who in 2005 depicted Muhammad wearing a bomb-shaped turban, also received death threats. In January, a Somali man was arrested after breaking into his home in western Denmark armed with an ax.

ISLAM: THE RELIGION OF GENOCIDE AND REPRESSION/

UPDATE: Pennsylvania Woman Tied to Plot on Cartoonist
A Pennsylvania woman who called herself JihadJane was tied Tuesday to an alleged assassination plot against a Swedish cartoonist who depicted the prophet Muhammad atop the body of a dog.

In an indictment unsealed Tuesday, federal prosecutors accused Colleen R. LaRose, an American from the suburbs of Philadelphia, of linking up through the Internet with militants overseas and plotting to carry out a murder.

Ms. LaRose, 46, was arrested in Philadelphia in October, but her case was kept under seal. Although the indictment does not identify the target, a law enforcement official said her case was linked to the arrests Tuesday of seven Muslims in Ireland in connection with a scheme to kill the cartoonist, Lars Vilks.
