And has their been even a fraction of the outrage over these cartoons? No, I think not. Do you think Hamshahri will admit that the "West" is more tolerant of free speech now?

Didn't we already conclude that the Israelis won that contest, even before it started, thanks to thier own counter-competition?
Meh our paper had a much better picture: Annan looking angrily at the Iraqi pres and him smiling rather sheepsihly. It was also subtitled :Annan tells whateverhisnameis that he can't deny the holocaust.

The UN is only dangerous because peacedoves can be sucked into jet-engines. Let's threaten them with politily asking again, that will teach those beardnecks.

It's actually even "better", they have thier own contest to mock a group (the Jews) completly irrelevant to the original matter (Danish cartoon contest).I do love Iran sometimes....

the UN is a great idea as long as all the countries cooperate, sadly almost all countries dont 
to be fair to Iranian newspaper, they see their cartoons as justified due to the danish ones, although it does seem a bit much

Just retarded sorry to say...
-Danish private newspaper publishes some cartoons making fun of Mohammed
-Some radical imans travel the middle east provoking outrage over the incident
-Muslims protest in many countries
-British police arrest peaceful counter-protestors to Muslims holding signs threatening violence, who are left unbothered
-Piglet lynched in effigy
-Iranians take the classy route and hold their own 'who can most emulate old Nazi propaganda' contest targeting the Jews
-UN threatens another round of polite asking, with the dire warning of 'or else' if the Iranians don't comply.
-The EU says this is much too harsh, and we should give the Iranians another two weeks to ignore us without any consequences
-People wonder why we made a deadline in the first place
Oh well.

Two weeks after the two weeks have passed-
-EU send bunch of flowers to apologise, even though they are not really sure what they are apologising for...

I think the outrage & Western hypocrisy will be a'coming. Give the story some time to pick up steam. And has their been even a fraction of the outrage over these cartoons? No, I think not. Do you think Hamshahri will admit that the "West" is more tolerant of free speech now?
