I think the winner of the Iranian cartoon contest puts to shame the childish, malicious and um, poorly drawn Danish cartoons. Clash of civilizations indeed, with the makers of the Danish cartoons as the brutish savages... <p></p><i></i>

<br> This quote, if accurate to my mind is somewhat revealing ;<br><br> <!--EZCODE QUOTE START--><blockquote><strong><em>Quote:</em></strong><hr>Iranian officials said they wanted to emphasize that Palestinians <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>were the indirect victims of the Nazi's killing of 6 million Jews in Europe during World War II</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--><hr></blockquote><!--EZCODE QUOTE END--><br><br> So, Iran, "fascist" dictatorial regime, led by a "holocaust" denier, awards this ( brilliant incidentally) cartoonist the prize ?<br><br> Does that speak volumes or what ? <p></p><i></i>

Very tasteful, which is more than can be said about the disgusting Danish one. <p></p><i></i>

But of course, there is no Israeli bias in OUR media no no no... that is why nowhere do you see this cartoon reproduced. Ummm we aren't brainwashed not us not us not us.... <p></p><i></i>

<br> Surely this is more than worthy of a place in the "images only" thread ?<br><br> Anyone care to do the honours ? <p></p><i></i>
