Not Really Anything New!

Iran to publish Holocaust cartoons

IRAN’S largest selling newspaper announced today it was holding a contest on cartoons of the Holocaust in response to the publishing in European papers of caricatures of the Prophet Mohammed.
“It will be an international cartoon contest about the Holocaust,” said Farid Mortazavi, the graphics editor for Hamshahri newspaper – which is published by Teheran’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.

I guess this is supposed ot hurt or something. It’s just the sort of thing that the Islamofascist regime Of Iran does anyway, from it’s President Ahm-mad-on-a-jihad Ahmadinejad on down, so what’s the big shocking change that’s supposed to get us riled up?

“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 said.

Somehow the Chief is confident that these WILL be easily accessible in the sestern media, if for no other reason than to be just one more piece of evidence as to how far from reality the current Iranian government’s point of view is. Another thought is that there won’t be angry Jews going out and burning down Iranian embassies around the world – although perhaps it would be an improvement if they did so!
