Who are you mocking now, ignorant secularists (ploni chaloni?) ?
no, I am mocking rabbies.
The O recognize us as Jews of course. They dont recognize our rabbis as rabbis, our synagogues as synagogues, or what we do and say as Judaism. But we are jews alright the same as you ploni chalonis. Well a tad worse in fact, since at least YOU know that youre NOT practicing Judaism. (now of course those who are converted by our notrabbis are not jews, cause a notrabbi cant convert - but you should know that, since govts occasionally fall about that over there) Nice to see though that the military rabbis over there have done a fine job of accelerating the pace of conversions of Ex-FSU nonJews.

Iran cartoon contest...
TEHRAN: Iran's largest selling newspaper yesterday announced it was holding a contest on cartoons of the Holocaust in response to the caricatures uproar.
"It will be an international cartoon contest about the Holocaust," said Farid Mortazavi, the graphics editor for Hamshahri newspaper - which is published by Tehran's conservative municipality.
He said the plan was to turn the tables on the assertion that newspapers can print offensive material in the name of freedom of expression.Comment

And from the BBC:
Hamshahri says it wants to test the boundaries of free speech, echoing the reasons European papers gave for publishing the caricatures.
There have been protests about the images across the Muslim world, where they are seen as insulting and racist.
One showed Muhammad, whose image is banned in Islam, as a terrorist bomber.
"Does the West's freedom of expression extend to... an event such as the Holocaust or is this freedom of expression only for the desecration of the sanctities of divine religions?" the best-selling paper said in its announcement.
It also asks for cartoons covering "America and Israel's crimes and plundering".
Iran's conservative rulers are supportive of so-called Holocaust revisionist historians, who argue that the systematic slaughter of Jews by Nazi Germany during World War II has been exaggerated for political ends.
Hitler formula
Graphics editor Farid Mortazavi, who announced the contest, challenged Western newspapers to publish the Iranian cartoons as they did the European ones.Comment

So it's ok when they do it, but it's not ok when someone else does it?
It's ok, have the silly cartoons if you ask me. Then again what did the Jews have to do with this? OH that's right, they aren't even normal people.In da butt.

Er, it seems more like they're aiming at the Holocaust as THE taboo subject in the West. One that we never joke about or make fun of. The fact that it's hurtful to Jews is just a secondary bonus.Comment

Elok, you still don't get it. The point is, we're not going to burn embassies over this. The point is, do you think some of the hooligans are smart enough to figure this would be a nice issue of freedom of speech in the west, finding some hypocricy in it, hey NEWSFLASH: They HATE Israelis and they would very much like to kill them and take the land of Israel and turn it into something else. Another NEWSFLASH, the agitators don't even know where Denmark is, they don't even know the flag of it because they get it mixed up half the time, and they don't even know why they're supposed to hate Norway but they do!
You give WAY too much credit for extremists and their intellectual and sensitive side. They are nothing but hateful people, who want your ass. The difference is, I know they want your ass and I don't want them to get it, and I don't want the extremists to get anything out of anything. You want to play sensitive, understand even the extremist minds. They don't want to understand you, they want to kill you.In da butt.

ya know the problem
The Rushdie fatwa. They threatened salman rushdie with death. He was living in the west. He has remained in hiding since - he hasnt been safe living in the West. And we accepted that. We didnt decide that was unacceptable and had to be reversed. Cause he wasnt white, wasnt from the West, was a Muslim by background.
Why should we be surprised when they do the same to Dutch filmakers and Danish cartoonists?

As far as I know there is no taboo about holocaust in the west. It's only when people tries to deny or falsify facts about it, they get in trouble.Originally posted by Elok

Have you ever heard about/seen The Producers by Mel Brooks ? For the moment it has great succes as a musical.With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.
