We all remember the Muhammad cartoon controversy that lead to countless riots all over the world, including the killing of Christians in Africa, the torching of fast food restaurants, etc. etc. I don't even feel like digging up links, you remember the insanity over a few stupid cartoons, only a couple of which were even offensive. You might also recall that the imams that got everyone worked up, used fake images that they themselves created to incite the Muslim community (as if they need a reason for violence).

At any rate, check out this Drudge exclusive, and tell me if you expect to see the same sort of reaction from Jews around the world:

Iran launches cartoon exhibition on Holocaust Mon Aug 14 2006 11:40:15 ET

An exhibition of more than 200 cartoons about the Holocaust opened Monday as Iran's response to last year's Muslim outrage over a caricature of the Prophet Muhammad in a Danish newspaper.

The display, showing 204 entries from Iran and abroad, was strongly influenced by the views of Iran's hard-line president, Mahoud Ahmadinejad, who drew widespread condemnation last year for calling the Holocaust a "myth" and saying Israel should be destroyed.

One cartoon by Indonesian Tony Thomdean shows the Statue of Liberty holding a book on the Holocaust in its left hand and giving a Nazi-style salute with the other.

Masoud Shojai, director of the host Caricature House, said a jury looked through 1,200 entries received after the contest was announced in February by the co-sponsor, the Iranian newspaper Hamshahri.

Developing...

Obviously Jews are civilized people and won't act out like the savages did over the Muhammad Cartoons, but I wonder if the left would defend their behavior like they did the Muslims by saying that they were "incited" and therefore somehow justified in their actions.

While the clowns who attacked this Sydney synagogue may not rise to the level of "lone gunman" terrorist, like the murdererMr. Haq in Seattle, they certainly serve as yet another perfect example of the "Religion of Peace" in action:

An attack on a Sydney synagogue may have been fueled by anger over the Middle East conflict and the spiraling civilian death toll in Lebanon, a rabbi said Monday.

Rabbi Wernick, who cited religious reasons in declining to give his first name, and his young family were inside a house attached to a synagogue in suburban Parramatta when it was attacked Sunday evening.

Concrete blocks smashed the windows of two cars, and other projectiles were hurled at the synagogue roof. Shortly after the incident, witnesses told police they saw a group of about 10 Middle Eastern men laughing and running down a nearby street.
