Hundreds of people from Iran and around the world have submitted art for a Holocaust cartoon contest, an official from the competition said Monday.
Secretary Masud Shojaei-Tabatabaii told Irans semi-official Fars news agency that 839 works had been submitted to the Second International Holocaust Cartoon Contest, a cynical sequel to a much derided 2006 competition making light of the slaughter of 6 million Jews in Europe during World War II.
Organizers putting on the contest say it is designed to highlight the worlds double standard in defending caricatures of the Muslim prophet Mohammed, whose depiction is taboo in Islam.
The works are also meant to question why Palestinians are oppressed in compensation for the Holocaust and warn of other Holocausts, including Gaza, according to a website for the contest.
A second caricature section carries the theme of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Adolf Hitler, according to the website.

Did any Jewish terrorists try to kill anyone at this event?

This is nothing more than a form of artistic expression to vent deeply seated emotions of anger towards the illegal occupation of Muslim Holy Lands by the evil Zionist occupiers.

And let me guess, a couple Jews pulled up in a car and started shooting? Or walked in and exploded? Or started tossing people off of buildings? Or lined up people on the beach and chopped off their heads? Or...
Oh, right, I keep forgetting, only Islamics make statements by terror.

I've heard people on teevee say "You complain about the gunmen at Garland, but then you turn around and complain about 'Piss Christ.'"

You know, I wonder, if you add up the readers and watchers of WSJ, FOX, Washington Times, NY Post (rag but conservative) Daily Caller, Pundit, Rush, Levin, Breitbart...do they get as many viewers and listeners as the ABCBS stations?
Have no idea. Just wondering aloud how much our message is getting out there. And believe me, i know FOX is RINO land, but for now, it's better than cBS.

Well, am sure "hundreds of people" in Israel or the USA or anywhere are either pro or against their gov't.

Of course, the Holocaust was justified as compensation for Big Old Mo Mohammed's massacre of the Jews of Arabia. Wait, what?

My libinlaw seemed very confused,
but very sure of herself, that it was OK to attack Memories Pizza,
and it was OK that Apple opened a bunch of stores in Islamic countries.

OK, great. Now we are even. They hold Holocaust cartoon contests and we hold Muhammad cartoon contests.
One makes fun of mass murder and the other makes fun of a mass murderer.
Issue settled.
