Oh, puhlease! I'm sure they are a very imaginative group when it comes to cartoons. Here's one cartoon that kind of sums it up that everybody can understand. Well, except maybe for the stuck on stupid types.

Iran: home to the world's anti-Jewish filth.

A controversial contest for cartoons of the Holocaust was launched in Iran on Monday in a tit-for-tat move over the caricatures of the Prophet Mohammed

Tit for tat? Oh, so Jews are behind the Mohammed 'toons? Yeah, shoulda figured.

We all know war never brings peace. Remember how Hitler's minions just laid down their arms when we waived daisies at them?

The first entry was said to be from renowned Australian cartoonist Michael Leunig..."As a show of solidarity with the Muslim world, and an exercise in free speech, I would like to submit a cartoon to you on the theme of the Holocaust," Leunig was quoted as saying in a statement on the Irancartoons.com Website.

Jews have never ruled the world. I'm always struck at how some people believe they do despite the absence of evidence to that effect. For some reason, Jews drive their enemies berserk.

"Tit for tat?"

In an irrational world like the MSM. They make "connections" like Ahmadnejad does.

BTW, someone should start an Ahmadnejad/Mullahs contest and challenge Iranians to print them. Heck, submit them to the Iranian paper.

BTW, the Australian guy says its a hoax.

Holocaust denial moved from Europe to the American nutty fringe to the establishment of an entire country. After 60 years that's progress? I don't think so.

Ah, the Jooooooos were behind the cartoons. I see.

Well, let the world publish the intellectual fruit of Iran. By all means. I believe in a free press, and if that's the cost. Fine.

"I have had some difficulty getting this work published in my own country, and I believe it would help highlight the hypocrisy of the West's attitude to free speech if you were to publish it," the Melbourne-based Leunig was quoted as saying.

What hypocrisy? We're not going to threaten to kill people over this idiots cartoon. This guys is another cindy sheehan-begging for 15 minutes of fame.

First prize: a torn up Koran
Second prize:a picture of Ahmadinejad naked.

Maybe we should--it looks like a fun street party and we get to burn down the Iranian embassy, too!

The article has the website wrong. It's IranCartoon.com. This will give you the general idea:
