Children At Play: Iran launches exhibition of Holocaust cartoons as 'test of Western tolerance'
"TEHRAN - An exhibition of more than 200 cartoons about the Holocaust opened here yesterday in response to last year's Muslim outrage over a caricature of the Prophet Mohammed in a Danish newspaper.This just strikes me as incredibly juvenile. "Your Momma." "Uh-uh...Your Momma." (Translation for international readers: this used to be the way we would try and get back at someone who said or did something to offend us...we'd insult each others mothers. Juvenile, huh? That's the point)
The display, showing 204 entries from Iran and abroad, was strongly influenced by the views of Iran's hard-line president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who drew widespread condemnation last year for calling the Holocaust a 'myth,' and saying Israel should be destroyed. "
