They were planning suicide attacks in Europe. "Arrests in planned European suicide-bomb attack," from IOL, with thanks to the Constantinopolitan Irredentist:
Four men suspected of belonging to a network planning a suicide terror attack in Europe have been arrested by police in Denmark.All four are Danish Muslims, aged between 16 and 20 and their homes in Copenhagen have been raided and computers, discs and books seized.
Fjordman has a very good link to this story at Viking Observer. The blog author translated into English from Danish and includes a number of additional links as the story is breaking.
Apparently Reuters, CNN and Pravda are covering different angles. NB - there is a Balkan connection, possibly Sarajevo and Bosnia put details are still sketchy. Viking Observer link follows:

In thinking about,or commenting on, these Danish Jihadist attempt to mass murder Danish Infidels, it is important that you maintain requisite sensitivity to the needs of Islam, one of the world's great religions.

1) That newspaper criticized Mohammed by publishing cartoons of him.
2) In Koran verse 33.21 God commands Danish Moslems to emulate the Sunnah:
"Ye have indeed in the Messenger of Allah a beautiful pattern (of conduct) for any one whose hope is in Allah and the Final Day, and who engages much in the Praise of Allah."
3) Mohammed (pbuh) ordered the murder of the aged Jewish poet Abu Afak, and a Moslem responded by stabbing the old Jew to death while he slept.
4) Danish Moslems, understanding the Koran and the Sunnah, are required by God to transform themselves from Good Inactive Moslems into Good Active Moslems and murder those who would criticize or laugh at Islam.
It's as easy as 1, 2, 3, 4. Simple: 99.9% + 00.1% = 100.00% of the Ummah.
Such is Islam. Such are Moslems.
Amen, Theo.
According to the danish daily Berlingske Tidende, only one of the four are danish citizens. All four are aparently of middle eastern or bosnian origin.
Here form Copenhagen Post:
Daily newspaper Jyllands-Posten noted that all the suspects were born and bred in Denmark, although only one of them had Danish citizenship. Three of them still live with their parents, and come from non-fundamentalist homes.
'They're not the ususal type that draws the police's attention,' Bro said. 'These are four young, introverted men, who are deeply religious. Their livestyles, way of dress, and their visits to mosques in Copenhagen show that,' Bro said.

And this is the problem. Many "immoderate" Muslims come from "moderate" Muslim backgrounds. We cannot distinguish which "moderates" will remain "moderate" and which will metamorphose into "immoderate" Muslims. The danger remains. And we do not know unto what generation the "moderate" Islam of parent or grandparent will continue to remain "moderate," and when, given local circumstances, or even personal disarray of the kind all of us, Muslim and Infidel alike, experience (employment, status, true or false love, ennui, depression, and every other sort of thing), that "moderation" that runs in the family turns out, in Generation X or Y or Z, to become "immmoderate."
That is not a chance the Infidels of this world should be expected to take. All the evidence points securely in the direction of Muslim hostility, hatred, aggression, persecution of non-Muslims whenever possible, and violence. All of it. Why take a chance? Why not undo the folly of the last few decades, especially in Europe, while it is still possible?
And I am willing to bet that there are millions and MILLIONS of Europeans who STILL believe that Islamic terrorism is directed exclusively at those who support Jews, the state of Israel, and the United States.
Too bad I couldn't sell these folks my oceanfront property in Kansas....
"At least to of the youths have only become extremely religious inside the last year, to the amazement of their families."
-- from the Jyllandsposten article
We've heard this one before.
There must exist a biochemcical volatility along the occlusion fault line within the Good Inactive Moslem that can transform him into a Good Active Moslem in a matter of days.
i cant wait to see their laughable sentencing, if any. I predict a pathethic 3-5 years sentence, out in 3.5 for good behaviour.
Well, out in four years will make three of them old enough to deport.
