TEHRAN, Iran - A Moroccan won the first prize of $12,000 yesterday in an Iranian contest to draw cartoons about the Holocaust - a vile competition that has sparked outrage worldwide.
Iran's best-selling newspaper, Hamshahri, launched the "International Holocaust Cartoons Contest" in February to make fun of the murder of 6 million Jews.
The contest was a retaliation for caricatures of Mohammad in a Danish newspaper, and was inspired by Iran's fanatical President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who called the Holocaust a "myth."
Abdellah Derkaoui's cartoon shows a crane with a Star of David putting up a wall separating the Muslim shrine, the Dome of the Rock, from Jerusalem. The wall has

Repulsive.
I thought the HamHeads already had their retaliation; hundreds killed, tens of millions of dollars in damage, throughout the world.
These people are worse than children.
Comparing them with barbaric savages is a step up for the HamHeads and an insult to barbaric savages everywhere.

No pictures of the toon?
You can't criticise the Iranians - they have free speech under our Constitution....
(/sarcasm)
Second place went to a Frenchman. Seriously -- NOT a joke.
It's the most pathetic nation in the world.
Ok, all you Jews.
Rioting begins at 5PM.
Pastrami on rye will be served. White bread available if Christians want to join.
Ooooh ooooh, can I burn an embassy? Can I? Pleeeeeeaaase?
And all these years I thought Muslims didn't have any sense of humor. This just goes to show that their sense of humor is right up there with .... well, let me think .... Oh yeah, right up there with the great American humorist, John Kerry.
Do we get to jump up and down, shout and scream like animals?
Can we burn cars and act like street thugs?
Please, please, can we act like death cult crazies?
( Just kidding - let the radical Muslims put on the "creepy loser show - we'll have candles, song, dance and food -- white bread and Mayo -- for all...)
What, they haven't retaliated enough by butchering innocent people and destroying buildings? Now, they want to try and make fun of one of the most hideous times in modern history?
And they wonder why they're called "Islamofascists."
"The second prize, worth $US8000 ($10,348), went jointly to French and Brazilian cartoonists. The third-placed competitor was an Iranian cartoonist."

The display in Tehran, comprising 204 entries from Iran and abroad, opened in August. Carlos Latuff of Brazil and A. Chard of France jointly won the second prize of $8,000 (U.S.), and Iran's Shahram Rezai received $5,000 (U.S.) for third place, the organizers said.
I find it interesting that the MSM fell all over themselves to print the riot and murder-inciting Mohammed pictures, but I can't find the Holocaust cartoons anywhere? Is this not a legitimate news story?
Jews don't chop peoples' heads off.
Yet.
see post 17!
Mayonnaise too? I'm there!
Ha ha! Is the last word on his turban sticker 'blah'?
