Another of the cartoons I especially liked was the one showing Jews going on a conveyor belt into a death machine of the holocaust and on the other side of the machine Israeli tanks coming out. It gives you something to think about and argue about.

Like what? It is completely predictable. Nothing clever about it. |
I think these Iranian cartoons compare beautifully to the Danish cartoons. Neither are very clever, and both are extremely predictable.
Funny thing is, I'm seeing a lot of posts here denouncing the Iranian cartoons as stupid, pointless, and predictable, but I can't recall many posts denouncing the Danish posts for the same reasons.

Also I agree whole-heartedly with the comparison of the cartoon making fun of Mohammed and the cartoon denying the holocaust -- there is a double standard, at least as far as Europe is concerned.
|
Please point out the double standard for me. |
I think the double-standard he is trying to point out is that it is not acceptable in Western culture to ridicule Judaism, but it is acceptable to ridicule Islam. Sure, there are no laws preventing individuals from ridiculing Judaism, but doing so will bring about a barrage of criticism and demands of public apology. Ridiculing Islam brings about of support from free-speech advocates who suddenly become quiet when Judaism is involved. |
You think it is stupid and pointless for the West to ridicule Islam. You also think it is stupid and pointless for Iran to ridicule Judaism. But you must not think it is stupid and pointless to ridicule Christianity because you have done it often. If you do think it is stupid and pointless, then you must consider yourself stupid and pointless. Make up your mind will ya? |
When did judiasm ridicule Christianity? why are you trying to make Christianity appear as the real victims? |
Sorry, I don't get the question.
