Vilks was giving an interview to a reporter from Der Standard AT when the man entered the gallery holding a red suitcae and stating he wanted to show Vilks some works of art. Vilks' bodyguard asked him to display the contents of the suitcae, at which time a firearm was discovered and the man was overcome.
Blasphemy (by anyone) is punishable by death under (Hudud) Sharia law. It applies to Muslims and non-Muslims alike. It is enforced in countries like Pakistan. What is really outrageous is that some Muslims living in non-Muslim countries (like Sweden) think they can enforce it there as well.
Update:
It appears the "assailant" was really someone wanting to show Vilks some art, but the bodyguard reacted to the perceived threat in a decisive manner as you can see. The man is identified as 73-year-old Bengt Andersson.

Murder (by anyone) is punishable under Swedish law. What more needs to be said?
He'll probably get 6 months.
Loved the comments after the article. Looks like they are finally getting fed up with the ROPMA.
