Oh Yeah? Well, Take This!

Wow. Talk about missing the point!

LONDON, February 7 (IranMania) – Iran’s largest selling newspaper announced it was holding a contest on cartoons of the Holocaust in response to the publishing in European papers of caricatures of the Prophet Mohammed, AFP reported.

“It will be an international cartoon contest about the Holocaust,” said Farid Mortazavi, the graphics editor for Hamshahri newspaper, which is published by Tehran’s conservative municipality.

He said the plan was to turn the tables on the assertion that newspapers can print offensive material in the name of freedom of expression.

“The Western papers printed these sacrilegious cartoons on the pretext of freedom of expression, so let’s see if they mean what they say and also print these Holocaust cartoons,” he asserted.

Of course they will, because no one – but no one – thinks that Jews will riot in the streets and burn down embassies.

That’s because Jews, like most of the people on this planet, have managed to progress past the 4th Century and understand such things as “proportional response” and that adults do not throw en masse temper tantrums and threaten to kill those who offend them.
