Iranian Paper Plans Holocaust Cartoons
By NASSER KARIMI, Associated Press Writer
]TEHRAN, Iran - A prominent Iranian newspaper said Tuesday it would
hold a competition for cartoons on the Holocaust to test whether the
West extends the principle of freedom of expression to the Nazi
genocide as it did to the caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad.
Hamshahri, one of Iran's largest papers, made clear the contest
is a reaction to European newspapers' publication of Danish cartoons
of the Prophet Muhammad, which have led to demonstrations, boycotts
and attacks on European embassies across the Islamic world. Several
people have been killed

Geee ... sounds like what goes around DOES come around.
Aside from that however, they seem severely myopic in focusing only
on the Holocaust ... when it's "Christians" who have used excuse
after excuse to invade Muslim lands and nations, to take whatever was
most valuable -- from the medieval crusades, to current adventures.
