I rate this a “been there done this”

Clearly those people should be protected by the police (didn’t somebody try to murder the Danish guy with an axe at one point?) but it’s not like threatening cartoonists who draw Mohammad is a new feature of radical Islam…

McLEAN, Va. — A man known for posting an online warning that the creators of “South Park” risked death by mocking the Prophet Muhammad was arrested Wednesday and charged with providing material support to a Somali terror group linked to al-Qaida.
Zachary A. Chesser, 20, of Oakton, Va., told FBI agents that he twice tried to travel to Somalia to join al-Shabab as a fighter. On the most recent attempt, earlier this month, Chesser brought his infant son with him as he tried to board a flight from New York to Uganda so he would look less suspicious, according to an FBI affidavit.
