Hog Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 A little extreme he may be but i htink he is principally correct. Why go create something that isn't part of our national heritage and encourage further segregation - build something that everyone can use - like a new pittodrie! Em, sorry Beeker but people who follow Islam cant made-do with a Church:ding: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stripey Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 Al Jazeera 06 February 2006Iran'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. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Shankly Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 Al Jazeera 06 February 2006Iran'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' date='" 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. lol[/quote']It is quite shocking that someone would find the idea of cartoons denying the holocaust being printed funny, especially considering the Country where they will be printed is a clerical-fascist State that is holding a conference for holocaust deniers and whose own President is a denier.What I do find strange, though, is that the Iranian press need to have a contest to find someone to draw an anti-Semitic cartoon when anti-Semitic writers and cartoonists are everywhere in the Middle East. Even after this cartoon debacle, the Arab media are ready to blameIsrael and Zionists for their publication in Denmark and the rest of Europe.Damn those zionists!
