I think he's best known for two things; he's the president of the on-line nation of Ladonia (anyone can become a citizen! http://www.ladonia.net/), and the magnificent artwork "Nimis"

Both Nimis and Arx are built in a nature reserve, "Kullaberg", and he's been to court on numerous occasions because of it. But somehow he always manages to get off the hook, usually in very creative and unpredictable ways.

When Nimis was threatened by being removed, he all of a sudden presented a document stating that he had sold it to someone else, hence Lars Vilks couldn't be put to trial for it, and wasn't responsible for it anymore!  :D

And when Arx, which was initially just a stone sculpture, was being questioned in court, he officially named it a book, and hence it was protected by the freedom of the press act!!  ;D

What fabulous works!  I love that people can just go and climb all over them.

Yes, Kullaberg is a very popular place to go for nature experience, it's unique in its character.

And Nimis and Arx only deepens the experience. They are not all that easily accessed though,

there is a bit of a hike to reach the point of the coast where they're located. But it's well worth it,

it's a beautiful spot, and great fun to climb and explore Nimis!!

There's always lots of people in the summer, and Lars Vilks is there every day too, building away and expanding on his  creation!

I don't understand your argument. So what are you saying? That since only one blonde haired woman has been caught we shouldn't worry about it? This just proves that ANYONE of any race or religion is capable of becoming a terrorist - not just Arab people or dark skinned people or Muslims.

Thank GOD they caught her before she had a chance to execute her diabolic plans. Had she been screened or monitored beforehand, they probably would have caught her sooner. But since she's white and blonde, she slipped through the cracks... until now.

Profiling does not work, it is potentially dangerous and it isn't fair. I'm sure that artist in Sweden - Lars Vilks - would agree with me. She wanted to go over there and KILL him!

I don't quite know what you mean by profiling, but be careful to presume what Lars Vilks thinks or don't think. He usually has his own opinions about most things, and they are seldom what you expect.

Only yesterday there was an interview where he stated that he isn't particularly scared, and that he's taken measures to protect himself.


Actually, the more I think of it, the more I wonder how you can say anything at all about what somebody you don't know at all agrees on.

David In Indy:
You don't think he's glad they caught her before she had a chance to kill him? That's all I meant by that comment.
