Iran as Comic Publisher?


Iran is soliciting cartoons mocking the Holocaust to test the "West's commitment to Free Speech."

Well, how is this any different than the cartoons already run depicting Jews and Israel as bloodsuckers and torturers? How is this any different?

You can bet, mullahs, that the response won't be burning down embassies and killing people, or threatening countries. So much for that religion of peace argument, I guess. If this is peaceful Islam, give me something else.

Folks, free speech doesn't mean you have to take this stuff, but you can't engage in wanton violence against it. A cartoon for heaven's sake, how childish! For a faith that has been around so long, to have such a childish and blind response, it says a lot!
