The Iranian newspaper Hamshahri is sponsoring a holocaust cartoons contest in response to the uproar over the Danish Muhammad cartoons pictured on the left.
According to The Scotsman, 200 artists have submitted entries. The mullahs of Iran will undoubtedly be pleased by creative output of the artists, if this entry is typical, which I bet it is:
One cartoon submission reflects the opinion of the Iranian president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who drew international outrage last year when he said that the Holocaust was a myth.
The cartoon, by Firouzeh Mozafari, an Iranian, shows nine Jewish men continuously entering a gas chamber that shows a counter reading "5,999,999," implying that Jews have inflated the number of Holocaust victims.
The contest goes on until May 15.
