An Iranian newspaper says it is going to hold a competition for cartoons on the Holocaust to test whether the West will apply the same principles of freedom of expression to the Nazi genocide against Jews as it did to the caricatures of the Prophet Mohammed, The Associated Press reports.

I'm sure "we" would take that cartoon and use it as some sort of "propoganda" displaying the ignorance of the radical Middle East. No?

The whole point didgitalgirl, is for the Iranians to prove how hypocritical the west is. They know the west will condemn the holocaust cartoons, and that will in effect show the world how "great" of a nation we really are. It's like letting someone cheat on a test, then setting them up to get caught.

Well the way I'm understanding it though, and I may be wrong, is that the US is siding with the Danes saying they had the right to publish the cartoons. If the Iranians go through with their plans, and the US condemns that, then that would be hypocritical. I may be wrong on the US supporting the Danes part, but that's the way I've interpreted it.
