The publication of cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad sparked protests around the world earlier this year.

I think thats a little bit understated.

It would be ironic if they chose to hang them in a museum because their governments forbade the existance of a healthy media (which could, by extension, then publish the cartoons in question the way the Mohammed ones were).

A thought....

If they get a rise out of Israel that will be enough for them.

Dunno if it'll go far.

He'll just trip over the cabling from the ground APU before he makes it onboard.

Organiser Masoud Shojai said: "You see they allow the Prophet to be insulted. But when we talk about the Holocaust, they consider it so holy that they punish people for questioning it."

Who is "they" and I don't think this guy could buy a clue with all the oil in Iran.

"Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad prompted international criticism last year by saying the Holocaust was a "myth" and that Israel should be "wiped off the map".

Not happy where this is going and I wish for a Deus Ex Machina to give that avacado a departure from the act before somebody gets nuked.

strange how millions of jews slaughtered less than 65 years ago is a myth to this mental gaint yet he believes every murderous translation from a belief revealed to its faithful by their prophet 1396 years ago
