Gotta love those subtle-as-a-lead-pipe Iranians. They're holding a Holocaust Cartoon-Fest in Tehran to "test the West's commitment to freedom of speech."
And what, dare I ask, would happen if the Israelis hosted a dance party to celebrate the Crusades? How about a luau to warmly reminisce on the Bam earthquake?
Full-scale riots in the capitals of every major country on earth? Screams of rage from Muslims and liberals worldwide? Immediate invasion of Israel?
Someone ought to call these effing jerks' bluff. No one is that brave, but it would be nice to see...

Nice point. I haven't seen it put quite that way before.
Somewhere in Europe's frozen tundra, someone publishes a cartoon, and Iran's response is to go after the Jews. Iran runs a whole contest to glorify cartoons intentionally mocking the death of six million Jews, and the world (other than you and a few others of course) react by wishing it into the corn field.
That's got to change someday, and not just for the sake of Jews; although, we wouldn't mind either. (and I don't believe the answer is laws banning speech, but the brave response you speak of coming from every corner of the world.)
