The world -- especially the Islamic world -- shows no such restraint when it
comes to Judaism. See, for instance

The British Political Cartoon Society even awards such things awards as
"cartoon of the year." The Iranians are now running a competition for
Holocaust cartoons, and a Dutch-Muslim newspaper printed some cartoons, one
of Anne Frank literally in bed with Hitler, as their "response" to the
"offensive" cartoons. Where were all of you protesting these "offenses"?
