Mohammad cartoonist Kurt Westergaard was reprimanded in court for exclaiming, “He’s just a cowardly liar, a terrorist!” Westergaard was attending the trial of Mohammed Geele who was arrested for trying to break into Westergaard’s residence with an axe New Years Day. Geele told the court that he was merely trying to frighten the artist.

Mr Westergaard rejected his version. “He was like a religious insane young man,” he told the court in Aarhus yesterday. “I believe he entered the house as a holy warrior who wanted to kill an infidel.” He turned to look at his assailant – the first time that they had actually seen each other.
