Muhammad artist in hiding after attacks

A SWEDISH artist whose drawing of the Prophet Muhammad with a dog’s body angered Muslims said he doesn’t feel safe in his home at night, after a week of attacks against him.

Lars Vilks told The Associated Press he has started sleeping elsewhere since an attempted arson attack on Friday against his home in Nyhamnslage, southern Sweden.

Earlier in the week, Vilks was attacked by a man as he gave a lecture at a university in central Sweden, and the following day his website appeared to have been targeted by hackers.
