Iranian cartoons

I was looking to see what had been done in the infamous Holocaust cartoon contest launched by an Iranian contest and ran across this site, which has a wonderful collection of cartoons, including pretty tame ones on Holocaust (the one above seems to be a reference to Finkelstein's Holocaust Industry)-- and many others about other topics from around the world.

Nothing good could possibly come by encouraging editors to omit information from their columns. How are newspapers supposed to do their job, that of informing readers, when their hands are tied through fear of irrational Islamist aggression. One cannot make an informed decision about this issue - perhaps the most significant news story of the day - without having all of the facts. Newspapers already print descriptions of the cartoons, what is the difference? As there is no difference, there can be no objection to reprinting.

I think the artist shows what was his perception about the theme. I guess he was just being realistic.
