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.

There are some famous American cartoonists who submitted works to this "competition".
Art Spiegelman among them (he won a Pulitzer for his 2 volume comic book "graphic novel" biography about his parents' time in Auschwitz).
Some of them took the opportunity to jab at Iranian antisemitism for thinking that there is a parallel between the two subjects.

Well, that must be a real hoot for these Islamic-Nazis. Now, I want Zbigniew Brzezinski and GEN Barry McCaffrey to explain again why a nuclear Iran is acceptable or something we'll just have to learn to live with. That should be a hoot too.

Followup to my comment.
Some of the famous artist submissions were published in The Comics Journal. I doubt that they got through the Iranian judges/censors.
There are some excerpts from the lengthy article here but no pictures....

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.What a freaking cretin! He can't even get his imagery straight. It was the guys who used to do the "Nazi-like salute" who took roughly the same position as he would take, and it was the Statue of Liberty guys who kicked their @sses.

So are Jews going to arrange to protest and shut cities down the way the Muslims did in France over a few cartoons? Naturally not but I wonder if the world notices the difference between class and terrorist tactics.

When they say "Destroy Israel" I'm sure they don't really mean it....

I hope this isn't a 'signal' considering his comments about 8/22. Somehow, the fact that it's exhibited now, with everything else that's going on, makes my stomach knot.
