Iran launches cartoon exhibition on Holocaust
Mon Aug 14 2006 11:40:15 ET

An exhibition of more than 200 cartoons about the Holocaust opened Monday as Iran's response to last year's Muslim outrage over a caricature of the Prophet Muhammad in a Danish newspaper.

The display, showing 204 entries from Iran and abroad, was strongly influenced by the views of Iran's hard-line president, Mahoud Ahmadinejad, who drew widespread condemnation last year for calling the Holocaust a "myth" and saying Israel should be destroyed.

One cartoon by Indonesian Tony Thomdean shows the Statue of Liberty holding a book on the Holocaust in its left hand and giving a Nazi-style salute with the other.

Masoud Shojai, director of the host Caricature House, said a jury looked through 1,200 entries received after the contest was announced in February by the co-sponsor, the Iranian newspaper Hamshahri.

Sad

Actually I'm glad to see it. It's a peaceful response to the Dutch cartoons. Much better than rioting in the streets and suicide bombing civilians. And hey, they're excercising free speech. Even if the cartoons are despicable...at least they're using a much better approach than they have in the past.

How ironic that the shrug-of-the-shoulders response of most non-muslims to this news showcases the idiocy of those who reacted to the Dutch cartoons with violence.

Lebanon? I guess they've found high explosives make much more of a statement than setting a few cars on fire.

Sheesh, the amount of anti-Semitism shown by some members here is shameful.

So 5, million people systematically killed equals a few cartoons of their holy man? The math doesn't seem to work.

[Whos Theo?]

To their idiot of a president the math all works out, he should be taken out of power.
