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.

(Denny Crane: "I Don't Want To Socialize With A Pinko Liberal Democrat Commie. Say What You Like About Republicans. We Stick To Our Convictions. Even When We Know We're Dead Wrong.")
sound of world yawning....
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.
"Oh Please, dont kill me till later"
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.
Just heard on the local TV News...Australian cartoonist denies submission of cartoons, made via anonymous e-mail. Authorities investigating.
Oh, wow! What a prize!
The description of the "cartoon" did not arouse me to anger, or hilarity, or to any emotion that I would associate with cartoons.
What I got was ... sadness. To try to mock and make fun of such a serious calamity is just ... sad. It's like making fun of the Tsunami, or Afghanistan's earthquake.
I know it's intended to be disrespectful, but it just comes across as stupid.
Hogan's Heroes was offensive to viewers in Boston 20+ years after the series ended but there is a difference between bad taste (or offensiveness) and prohibited works.
I could believe that antisemites in America still produce cartoons for their newsletters. Some proPalestinian war cartoons also have antisemetic themes. I know that the American left supports the Palestinian War (with some even supporting the use of suicide bombers) but I haven't seen the more extremist antisemetic cartoons in the barking moonbat newspapers. Then again, I don't look at them much either.
The website Irancartoons.com is an ad site, not a website.
Sounds like it might be a hoax after all.
Leunig denies entering Holocaust cartoon competition
By Emma Rodgers. Posted: Tuesday, February 14 2006 .
Reports that cartoonist Michael Leunig was the first to enter a contest set up by an Iranian newspaper for cartoons of the Holocaust are not true, he says.
It looks as if Leunig is a victim of a hoax, which he describes as a hurtful act.
"I've been set up horribly, maliciously and to me it denotes what it means to stand up against this conflict and this warlike sort of state the world is in and you know, it's difficult," he said.
Iranian newspaper Hamshahri set up the contest called, "The Boundaries of Western Freedom of Speech" as a reaction to the controversy surrounding the Mohammad cartoons.
A statement purporting to be from Leunig was also published by the newspaper, according to the Herald Sun, (the story has now been removed) which read: "I have had some difficulty getting this work published in my own country, and I believe it would help highlight the hypocrisy of the Wests' attitude to free speech if you were to publish it."
The cartoons, which Leunig has described as "a serious hoax" have now been removed, Hamshahri's editor said.

I do not know what this says, but it has to be funny!
