Danish ed.: I'd print Holocaust cartoons
​

The Danish editor behind the publication of caricatures of the Prophet Mohammad that ignited deadly riots in the Muslim world said Wednesday that he was trying to coordinate with an Iranian paper soliciting cartoons on the Holocaust.

"My newspaper is trying to establish a contact with the Iranian newspaper, and we would run the cartoons the same day as they publish them," Flemming Rose said Wednesday in an interview on CNN's "American Morning." The Iranian newspaper Hamshahri said Tuesday that it would hold the competition to test whether the West extended the principle of freedom of expression to the Nazi genocide as it did to the caricatures of the Prophet Mohammad.

I am sorry, but at the best that man has no sensitivity; at the worst............well I would have to moderate my own post........

 

[linwood]

Actually I fully expected him and other papers to do so.

The Iranian Holocaust Cartoon Contest was initiated in order to show the hypocrisy of European freedom of the press.

Iran intended to do this by daring Europes press to publish something it thought was taboo to them.
Iran and other Muslim entities don`t seem to understand that being secular means there are no Taboos.

They have once again made fools of themselves.

Ignorance is blinding.

Are they really that obtuse ?

It would appear so but it seems both sides are more than a bit obtuse.

I mentiones earlier that this whole thing reminded me of children fighting on a playground.
That analogy get stronger and stronger every day.

I have seen a few examples already. This is going to go very badly.

When one views the cartoons of the Prophet, one sees that for the most part they are very tame. The only one that is incendiary is the Turbin Bomb. I won't even post a link to the Holocaust cartoons I have seen in the last 2 days. They go well beyond... I just hope Jews and gentiles alike do not go ballistic.

Best case scenario: Graphic depictions will succeed only in making their artists look like fools.

Worst case scenario: Look for a second wave of truly offensive cartoons regarding Islam and the Prophet {pbuh}.

Not only secular, but also very cunning. Since the event has been blown out of proportion, European publishing those cartoon now in fact strengthened their case of freedom of the press, and even the strongest supporter of holocaust will not voice any objections. This is a matter of sequence of event.

I won`t deny it but the point is that they have wagered on the inherent destructive forces within Islam to show themselves.
They have won that wager and nothing anyone does can take that back now.

Organized religion is dangerous, it has always been dangerous and this is just proving the point yet again.

There was a thread by a newbie last week asking "Why can`t we all just be right?"
This is why.

This sequence of events rips away the curtain of toleration that was never anything more than a thin veil to begin with.

As an atheist I am constantly sickened by this religious idiocy that continues to destroy humanity itself piece by piece.

The world would be a better place without fairy tales.

Editor: 'No regrets' over publishing cartoons (5:05)
When he was asked that the Guardian reported three years ago, the same newspaper rejected publishing a cartoon on the ground that it was offensive to the Christians, our great editor now showed this and said that he published this at the same time. Double standard at different time.....

 

[EiNsTeiN]

Well this gets funner and funner.

Yep!.....:banghead3

 

[Darkdale]

This is stupid. Who cares if they publish racist Iranian cartoons? If you don't like it, don't buy their paper. It's frightening how much you people want control over the lives of others. Live and let live.

More on the Hypocrisy of the West and Cartoongate

The Danish newspaper that published the caricatures of Muhammad refused to carry cartoons lampooning Jesus of Nazareth, The Guardian revealed on Monday.

' In April 2003, Danish illustrator Christoffer Zieler submitted a series of unsolicited cartoons dealing with the resurrection of Christ to Jyllands-Posten.

Zieler received an email back from the paper's Sunday editor, Jens Kaiser, which said: "I don't think Jyllands-Posten's readers will enjoy the drawings. As a matter of fact, I think that they will provoke an outcry. Therefore, I will not use them."

The illustrator told the Norwegian daily Dagbladet, which saw the email: "I see the cartoons as an innocent joke, of the type that my Christian grandfather would enjoy."

"I showed them to a few pastors and they thought they were funny." '

​

I've gotten a lot of comments by email which have the structure, "Yes Europeans would be offended by X, but would it cause violence?" I presume these readers somehow consider the Irish not really Europeans.

Part of me hopes that the Danish paper does publish the Iranian cartoons, so that everyone will see the incredible anti-semitism of Iran and much of the Middle East.

Bad boy, bad boy, you want more violence?:tsk:

These cartoons are printed in the papers of Muslim nations daily.

 

[jewscout]

what they don't tell you is the editor who didn't approve the cartoon of Jesus and the one who approved the cartoon of Mohammed are 2 different people.

how do you know if that same editor were still there today that the mohammed cartoon would have ever run?

if it were the same editor then it would be hypocricy,
i this case i fail to see it.

I am against all form of propaganda hiding behind the principle of "press freedom" pitching one religion against another religion, making fun of another religion, insulting the belief of another person, be it anti-semitic, anti-Muslim, anti-Christian, or even anti-Atheist
