alexpgpIt turns out a newspaper in Iran has kicked off a contest to find the "best" cartoon about... the Holocaust. Obviously, this would appear to be a tit-for-tat response to the publication, in many European countries, of caricatures of the Prophet Mohammed.
Whatever.
According to the daily paper, Hamshahri: "A serious question for Muslims ... is this: Does Western free speech allow working on issues like America and Israel's crimes or an incident like the Holocaust? Or is this freedom of speech only good for insulting the holy values of divine religions?"
I think the real question is this: Will the published entries be distinguishable from the paper's usual editorial content?
Cheers...
