Moroccan wins holocaust cartoon contest

Ignoring widespread condemnation, Iran awarded the top prize in a Holocaust cartoon contest to a Moroccan artist for his depiction of Israel's security wall with a picture of the Auschwitz concentration camp on it.
The Tehran daily Hamshahri, a co-sponsor of the exhibition, said it wanted to test the West's tolerance for drawings about the Holocaust. The entries on display came from nations including United States, Indonesia and Turkey.

So they want to test our tolerance for bad taste cartoons? Funny thing, although I think the cartoon is in poor taste I have no great urge to riot, march in the streets, burn effigies, self immolate or do anything else.

Its kind of ho hum stuff for me, Islamic fundamentalist morons making light of genocide. I expect these guys to do moronic stuff.

So now that my tolerance has been tested, how did I do?


Is this maybe cause you didn't see the cartoon?

Couldn't help buty notice that the story didn't print the cartoon.

Can't find it yet on any other mainstream site.

Kinda makes their point about taboos. Breaking taboos in the name of free speech is good if it p.o.'s muslims but bad if it offends others?

I kinda doubt you would riot at any rate, but seems a but hypocritical to not at least show the cartoon in conjunction with the story.

Anybody got link to it?
