I support the right for the Iranians to mock the Holocaust with cartoons.
I certainly don't condone it or agree with their mocking assertions---but I support their right to print them and publish them.

which exercise their right to mock the Holocaust.

1. I agree and support their right to print them. The issue of...
free speech should apply to everything.

11. I find that an interesting location you brought up.
Is there an Iranian embassy or consulate there? I don't think so.

Should there be rioting at Iranian embassies and consulates around the world, death threats, kidnapping threats, etc., as we have witnessed this past week? And if other newspapers pick up the same cartoons, should their embassies also be targets of riots similar to what we have seen this past week?

6. But then they lose all moral argument about their being offended.
Edited on Tue Feb-07-06 11:02 AM by WinkyDink
Curious how they aren't calling for anti-DANE cartoons, isn't it? But then, Muslims have never needed an excuse to print anti-Semitic anything.

Moreover, the cartoon was NOT mocking dead Muslims, was it? It wasn't a laugh-riot about the dead in Fallujah, was it?
Gee, COULD it have depicted PRECISELY what we now are witnessing, YET AGAIN: Islamic VIOLENCE.

8. It's the right of Iranians to mock Islam that needs to be supported


Easy for them to publish something against Jews or Christians.

9. If protesters don't burn down buildings, no one is killed
and there are no death threats or riots, will this backfire on them? They're hoping to show that some other group would handle this situation the same way that some muslims have. If they don't get the expected results, doesn't this make them look worse?

12. Publish them worldwide
Let people all over the world see what the Iranian press, and in turn the government, thinks of the Holocaust. Just making it easier for the West to accept the justification in bombing Iran back to the Stone Age.

13. Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad are going down
As we approach the Festival of Purim - Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad are going down - and we will merry merry be and Noch some Hamentachen.

And roll the Gregors when the names of the evil Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad are mentioned.

<><>

References:




As in the Story of Emperor Ahasueris and the evil Haman, and Queen Esther and Uncle Mordechai

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad are going down
