The cartoon, reprinted below (I hope no Jews come to burn down my house or decapitate me with swords), earned Abdellah Derkaoui the $12,000 first prize. That ought to buy him a few dozen swastika T shirts, and maybe an Ayatollah Khomenei-autographed copy of the Quran.
Well, fair's fair, I guess. If those damn racist Danes can inflame the peaceful Islamic faithful around the world by printing a horribly derogatory series of Mohammed cartoons, the certainly the thoughtful, non-reactionary, equal-opportunity, give-peace-a-chance Iranians can print delightful, humorous artwork gently poking fun at the mythical murder of 6,000,000 Jews. Right?
Wait, did that come out right?
