Controversial Prophet Muhammad artist dies in mysterious car crash
Proving once again that Allah is an asshole...
A Swedish artist who survived a series of assassination attempts after drawing the Prophet Muhammad as a dog has died in a mysterious high-speed crash.
Lars Vilks, 75, had been living under around-the-clock police protection since the 2007 drawing of the Muslim founder fueled death threats and direct attempts on his life.
He died Sunday when the police car he was traveling in crashed head-on with a truck on a highway near Markaryd, Swedish officials said.
The car — driven by one of his bodyguards — veered across a guardrail and onto the wrong lanes of the highway, bursting into flames, as did the truck it smashed headfirst into, officials said.
Vilks and his two plainclothes officers all died at the scene.
