A Belgian-Dutch Islamic political organization posted anti-Jewish cartoons on its Web site in response to the cartoons of the prophet Mohammed that appeared in Danish papers last year and offended many Muslims.
The cartoons were posted on the Arab European League's site on Saturday. It was not working Sunday morning because of exceeded bandwidth.
The cartoons depicting Mohammed wearing a turban-shaped bomb were first published in Denmark, and then in newspapers elsewhere in Europe in a show of solidarity with press freedoms.
The Islamic site carried a disclaimer saying the images were being shown as part of an exercise in free speech rather than to endorse their content - just as European newspapers have reprinted the Danish cartoons.
One of the AEL cartoons displayed an image of Dutch Holocaust victim Anne Frank in bed with Adolf Hitler, and another questioned whether the Holocaust actually occurred.
Dyab Abou Jahjah, the party's founder and best-known figure, defended the action on the Dutch television program Nova Saturday.
"Europe has its sacred cows, even if they're not religious sacred cows," he told the program.

True, but the Muslims descended to a lower level (of publishing obviously offensive cartoons) even by their own standards.
LOL! You must not have seen many islamic political cartoons.
The pig. Yes, that would top it!

These idiots have no idea what they've started. We are about to see an avalanch of anti-Muslim cartoons flood the world.
p.s. Please indicate the number of Danish Jews involved in the Mohammed cartoons.
It doesn't say "anti-Christian" remarks are forbidden.
They have already been publishing the vilest and most grotesque anti-Semitic cartoons for many decades, there is no deeper level they can descend. THEY ARE ALREADY IN HELL.
I have been reading the Haaretz "talkbacks" for a long time, and "Leon Rosgarten" is a sarcastic troll, who posts just for the purpose of getting attention.
Unfortunately, there are far to many other idiots on that forum who do take themselves seriously.
I stand corrected; I don't follow the issue closely enough.
The Jews didn't print the picture..
LOL. . and perfect!
Unfortunately, not soon enough. . .
Yes. . .bring on more cartoons. . .perhaps they will self-destruct; or give the world a good start.
You've got to throw in a pig or goat for good measure.
What's that got to do with anything...
It's closer than you think.
Their "cartoon" depicts a fantasy. The cartoons of Mohammed lampoon his real misdeeds.
