News:
It was more than a year ago that the controversial Mohamed Cartoons ran in the Danish Jyllands-Posten newspaper, and the Muslims can’t seem to let it die.

The winner of an Iranian contest sparked by the incident was announced today, a Moroccan man by the name of Abdellah Derkaoui. For purely educational purposes, the winning cartoon is reproduced below:

The winning Iranian Holocaust Cartoon

As you may well know, the Iranians launched a cartoon contest of their own in response. According to Wikipedia, the contest was launched on February 7th of this year and came to a close today. As announced by the Iran Cartoon Organization, first prize was $12,000, a trophy, and an ‘honorable mention’.

Views:
I’d love to offer protests of my own, but I’m not exactly in a position to protest at the Iranian or Moroccan embassies. For those of you in Ottawa, please protect in front of the Iranian Embassy. For my fellow Americans, you’re mostly out of luck, although there is a Moroccan embassy located in Washington, D.C. If you really want to, it seems that the Pakistani embassy also handles some business for Iran.

Beyond that, I’d like to see some sort of condemnation of the cartoons by the international community. I understand the Mohamed cartoons were upsetting, but the offensive rating is on a whole other level for the Holocaust cartoons. Think about it, over six million people were killed in death camps, with many survivors still around today. Making fun of Mohamed is against a tradition, but making fun of the Holocaust is so much worse - it truly tugs on the heartstrings of millions and millions of people around the world.

Common Sense:
Not much, but I can assure you that no Jewish people are going to go around and burn mosques or kill clerics in response to these cartoons. Jews (and Christians) are civilized, as for Muslims, I’m not entirely sure.
