The Mullahs Will Be Disappointed

I'm laying odds now that not one Iranian embassy will be burned down over this.

A prominent Iranian newspaper says it is going to hold a competition for cartoons on the Holocaust to test whether the West will apply the principle of freedom of expression to the Nazi genocide against Jews as it did to the caricatures of the Prophet Mohammed.

Hamshahri, which is among the top five of Iran's mass circulation papers, made clear the contest is a reaction to European newspapers' publication of Danish cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed, which have led to demonstrations, boycotts and attacks on European embassies across the Islamic world.

In fact, I'll bet that not one westerner even throws a rock. We get bothered about real things, like homocidal fanatics with nuclear bombs.
