It'll be even funnier if Jews win the prizes.

It's not just a contest...mind you even though it bothers me I don't really care what they draw, what bothers me is the idea behind it, and something we've already mentioned above.

From the article:

quote:
The contest was announced in February in a tit-for-tat move after caricatures of the Prophet Mohammed were first printed in Denmark and then picked up and published worldwide, enraging Muslims...

"Though we do not deny that fact that Jews were killed in the (second world) war, why should the Palestinians pay for it?"...

Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has also prompted international anger by dismissing the Holocaust as a "myth" used to justify the creation of Israel.

Everyone is a terrorist, everyone and every religion has done a wrong in the past (or are currently) and we all fight for the simple matters such as money. Class differentials.
Jews, Muslims, Christians are all alike and the cartoon fair should have been about that in its entirety.

Maybe when someone is smart enough with the least bit of power to initiate something like that, more of us will realize the truth, and for once and for all come to the tables empty handed on how we can improve current conditions that will, inevitably, lead us all to a miserable end.

Whether this is a forum to discuss these issues or not, I would hope we can rise above those mindless actions across the borders and focus on a better life, starting with ourselves. Relinquish all the hate.

...yea...and? The idea behind it is "getting back" at the western world for the drawings from earlier this year. Again...what's the big deal?

My history is a little rusty...but is that the same era where Stalin ordered the deaths of millions of people because of his own paranoia?

Stalin was the worst dictator in human history who killed over 30 million of his own people - not to mention virtually all of the top military commanders, which resulted in the horrendous loses (of over 20 million) that the USSR suffered in the second world war.

Yeah, Hitler was an amateur compared to good ol' Joseph. That guy was fucked up seven ways from Sunday.

this obviously isnt being used to promote our freedom of speech. He is doing this to try to demonstrate hypocrisy in western society. I think his point is that both cartoons should be banned. Whereas i would use the same arguements to demonstrate why they SHOULD NOT be banned at all.

well put.

I dunno they are all pretty messed up, but the stuff that goes on in Iran is beyond messed up.
