Iran paper plans Holocaust cartoons

[Laurentz Dahl]

Quite a clever initiative I must say:

Iran's largest selling newspaper has announced it is holding a contest on cartoons of the Holocaust in response to the publishing in European papers of caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad.

"It will be an international cartoon contest about the Holocaust," Farid Mortazavi, the graphics editor for Hamshahri newspaper, which is published by Tehran's conservative-run municipality, said on Monday.

He said the plan was to turn the tables on the assertion that newspapers can print offensive material in the name of freedom of expression.

"The Western papers printed these sacrilegious cartoons on the pretext of freedom of expression, so let's see if they mean what they say and also print these Holocaust cartoons," he asserted.

Of course, they may start by reprinting these:

Again, Iran bludgeons the Zionist judeo-supremacists with rational thought.

Science & rational thought are Weapons Against Mass Instruction.

Are we ready for this?

The Arab-European League has entered the cartoon business:

AEL launched freedom of Speech Campaign
How consistent is Europe with freedom?

06 feburary, 2006

AEL will systematically publish daring cartoons produced by our own AEL cartoonist "Nabucho" and breaking many taboos in Europe.

After the lectures that Arabs and Muslims received from Europeans on Freedom of Speech and on Tolerance. And after that many European newspapers republished the Danish cartoons on the Prophet Mohammed. AEL decided to enter the cartoon business and to use our right to artistic expression.

Just like the newspapers in Europe claim that they only want to defend the freedom of speech and do not desire to stigmatise Muslims,we also do stress that our cartoons are not meant as an offence to anybody and ought not to be taken as a statement against any group, community or historical fact.

If it is the time to break Taboos and cross all the red lines, we certainly do not want to stay behind.

I have been all over the web, where I normally go. Everybody is in love with the President of Iran. Truely, 'We love this man'. And all because of this photo competition.

"It will be an international cartoon contest about the Holocaust," Farid Mortazavi, the graphics editor for Hamshahri newspaper...

The Hamshahri site is arabic, so I sent an email to Aljazeera asking them how to get the details for the competition, how to enter and submit cartoons. I'll let you know.

Hannover, you use the word 'absurdity' often enough. You must be halfway there already with your cartoon, right?

What would be the 'killer cartoon' I mean KILLER! cartoon, we might get a lucky shot away, like David and Goliath and slay the giant. You never know.

I figure there will be GREAT competition.

I have seen a few posts where folk are going to learn 'Photoshop' just to have a crack at it.

Have we got any ideas?

Cheers

Actually, I have no drawing skills.
But I nominate this one by Ernst Zundel for the Iranian contest.

I suggest contacting Iran's Mehr News for info. about the contest:

Imagine the winner being Zundel, a man imprisoned for his thoughts.

There is no better word for the 'holocau$t' tales, they are truly absurd. The whole thing is so ridiculous that it boggles the mind that any rational adult still believes in it once they know the specifics of the absurd assertions.

Here's a new one.

It is telling that the cartoon counter-attack is against the 'Holocaust', the West's new religion, and not against Christianity!

Danish editor behind Prophet drawings says he'd publish Iran's Holocaust cartoons

Re Danish editor and Holocaust cartoons.
Changed his mind...must have got religion. Some things are sacred after all.

"Earlier, culture editor Flemming Rose said of the Iranian cartoons: "We would consider publishing them, but we will not make a decision before we have seen the cartoons."

"I have committed an error," Rose said later in an interview with Danish television. "I am 100 percent with the newspaper's line and Carsten Juste in this case."

[friedrich braun]

Is Flemming Rose Jewish?

[labview1958]

Would the Danish newspaper publish some insulting cartoons about the Queen of denamark. Let's say the queen in bed with hitler while danish jews are being thrown into the fire outside the bedroom window.

[Rashid Metwan]

The press here is reporting that Rose is Jewish and that the owner of the newspaper also is Jewish.

He certainly seem to have a little of the "chosen nose" :

Btw, here's a page with containing some more Holohoax cartoons (together with a lot of the ones shown above):

I especially like the one with the little black kid at the video store asking for movies about the massacre of palestinians.

The one with the "gaschamber" airship - simply drawn, very true...

Too bad I'm really cr**py at drawing... but maybe I will give it a try...

[Turpitz]

I like the one at the top with the Angel flying around "Here's your pen dear...it's the latest model from the future"

The press here is reporting that Rose is Jewish and that the owner of the newspaper also is Jewish.

So what's new?
