Mohammed cartoonist now homeless

It's very disappointing to see that Kurt Westergaard has not only been evicted from the hotel where he'd been living with police protection, he's also now homeless (H/T: Hot Air):
Two years ago Kurt Westergaard was in his Copenhagen home drawing pictures. One of them was of the Muslim prophet, Muhammad. Now Westergaard is homeless.It's terrible when the politicians or authorities of country you live in are not willing to get behind you to give you the protection you need, if that's the case here. It certainly was with Ayaan Hirsi Ali.
Draw a picture offensive to Muslim extremists, and you might find yourself without a roof. Ask Kurt Westergaard, one of the twelve Danish cartoonists whose autumn 2005 Muhammad caricatures lead to violent protests throughout the Muslim world. He was booted from his police-protected hotel room on Feb. 15 for being “too much of a security risk.” And now the 73-year-old cartoonist and his wife are without a place to live.
