[...] First cartoons incite scores of pissy people to be mad, kill, destroy. Which in turn called for a line of t-shirts. All this closely followed by Iranian newspapers putting a rather cartoonish looking Ann Frank in bed with a cartoon Hitler. Next up, Batman setting all this shit right. Like we knew he would.

OK--where shall I aim my "disgust" at this cartoon?
I should burn a few buildings, maybe killing a few people in the process????

Or should I do what I do with all items of this ilk--pass it off as a product of the imagination of some ignorant fool and toss it into the circular file?

I have great news!

Words and images cant hurt you!

Both cartoons are just jokes. No need to get offended. It doesn't matter which is worse either.

You must understand though. this is Prophit Mohamid . A prophit that Muslims idol and brought down the Quran (Islamic Bible). This is just as affensive as the Jews would feel about the Holocaust. MAYBE this is the best comparison for you to understand. And for the Christ matter, no one told you not to stand up for what you believe is wrong. The first time u let it pass, you only allow it to accure again

The cartoon depicts an underaged girl after she has been raped by the man whom we know in fact had her murdered by asphyxiating her in a gas chamber.

Not funny, just perverse. But not surprising either, given how the Arab street seems to find images of spilled blood, slaughter, and human agony so titillating. Think of the video taped images of real life hostages, while they are being beheaded.

Strange that whoever drew this should think that they are somehow answering the Danish cartoonists.

Whatever you might say of those cartoons - childish, an attempt to provoke, immature, insulting - they weren't depraved.

This is.

All religions are human constructs; we all believe amny things that may or may not exist and are ephemeral. Hitler was real, and Anne was real, and she was a child. How could this compare to the Danish cartoons? Sure, they were offensive, but they make Baby Jesus dildos and nobody riots.

I'm amazed the Islamists would allow Hitler to be depicted in a cartoon either.

In fairness, they'd have to burn down the Belgian and/or Dutch embassies for this one - but point well made.

Danes running comic strips of "offensive" likenesses of the Muslim prophet, Mohammed, the Iranians ran a "Who could make the best Holocaust cartoon contest," (makes sense, right?). Among the submissions was a black and white drawing of Anne Frank (looking no more than seven years-old) in bed with Adolph Hitler, after they had presumably just had sex, and Hitler telling her something to the effect of "Write this one in your Diary, Anne." Nice people, those Iranians. They sure got a lotta class. Through the eyes of a Joo, trust me, I have f*cking seen it
