I thought it was interesting timing for this cartoon to be released, 20 days before the soccer.

Dutch authorities fear World Cup terror threat
Suspect talked of ‘possibility of revenge for the insults of the prophet’

Saudi citizen Abdullah Azam Saleh al-Qahtani speaks to The Associated Press
while in Iraqi custody on Tuesday.
AMSTERDAM - Dutch security officials said Wednesday they are taking seriously the threat to soccer fans after a terrorism suspect arrested in Iraq claimed he considered attacking Dutch or Danish fans at the World Cup in South Africa.
But the Dutch anti-terrorism office and Danish authorities said they aren’t yet planning any new security measures in response.
Judith Sluiter of the Netherlands’ anti-terrorism coordination office says the comments made by Abdullah Azam Saleh al-Qahtani were in line with her agency’s perception of potential threats.
