Hamshahri Holocaust Cartoons And Caricatures
UPDATE: A winner has been chosen.
This is the permanent home for the Hamshahri Holocaust cartoons. Hamshahri is the major newspaper in Iran and has sponsored a competition through IranCartoon.com to produce the "best" Holocaust cartoons in response to the infamous Muhammed Caricatures that were posted in the Danish newspaper. More cartoons will be added as they appear. Now, as with the Muhammed caricatures, please feel free to leave if your easily offended. I am showing these cartoons because I feel they are an important indicator of the ignorance that exists in our society as a result of religion and intolerance. The newest entries will be displayed on top.

To the best of my knowledge this is NOT an official entry, but a cartoon that was posted by the Arab European League in response to the Muhammed Caricatures.
It appears that this cartoon was NOT submitted for the competition as was previously thought. However, Australian cartoonist Michael Leunig does take credit for making it. He drew it in 2002 as a response to the Israeli occupation of Palestine. CNN has reported this now.
MORE TO COME…

[...] UPDATE 2/13/2006: Hamshahri Holocaust cartoons here [...]
February 13th, 2006 at 1:54 pm
I`d like to say all Muslim: I`m so sorry for publications Mahomet`s caricatures. I`m shy that Polish editor publised it also. It offened me too, although I`m Catholic. I don`t say to nobody that my religion is the best, `cos my religion it`s only my business. I respect feelings all people, I`ve got friends different religion and we never quarrel on this theme. I invate to Poland, to OÅ›wiÄ™cim, Stuthoff, Treblinka… Everybody who will see, will understand what means holocaust… I saw it :((, it`s terrible what can do people… My uncle was in Dachau in Germany, and when he back home, he said us what done “SS”…

So what?!
Whats the fuzz about?
Tasteless cartoons like these are published throughout the middle east permanently and in big newspapers, with or without muhammed cartoons - welcome at reality folks!
And then, take a look at the original muhammed cartoons, I guess most people who talk about them didnt have seen them at all.
In some of them muhammed is not even pictured, and one cartoon jokes about the people from jyllands post rather then islam or muhammed.
February 13th, 2006 at 6:17 pm
The Michael Leunig cartoon has been denounced by Michael Leunig as a fake and not submitted by him. It has now been removed from the Hamshahri website.
So who did submit it and why?
February 13th, 2006 at 7:32 pm
Why so much ignorance and hatred it makes me sad
February 13th, 2006 at 7:32 pm
Indeed you are correct boarsblood. I have since updated the caption of the cartoon. It is important to know that he was the original author of that cartoon though.
February 13th, 2006 at 8:02 pm
I´m definetly not a moslem (born catholic) but I have to say Congratulations to all those guys who started “Holocaust Cartoons”. This was the only answer to those jewish attacks. Keep us updated…

J-Posten is a very funny newspaper,they support the NAZiS in the 1930s and you know the story I think.Radicals are same in everywhere radicals also always work with the occupation forces all the time.The racists are and the radicals are the real enemies of their own countries and people.But also your politicians support radicals and racists in the past aganist the Soviet union, so they form dangerous radical parties to attack the natives in the midleeast to keep them under control.So all the countries take part in that war in the past and still they are playing and helping radicals in that countries only the normal people dont know about it.But ofcourse people dont know whats goin on in the Politicians minds.its always hard to work for peace but hate is very easy.Love and peace for the good people of Denmark.

Big deal.
They’re cartoons. I don’t care if they’re about the holocaust or muhammad.
Grow up people, don’t let crude drawing get you upset.
Retards.
February 17th, 2006 at 12:52 pm
I’m beginning to think that I’m the only one who can look at a satirical religious cartoon and not get pissed about it. Political cartoons are drawn to make a statement - for the cartoons published in Denmark it portrays the symbol of Islam (Muhammed) because that is a universal figure for Islam. By having him doing these things, i.e. carrying a bomb under his turban, etc., it is meant to show the ridiculousness of the idea that people will blow themselves up and hurt others under the guise of a religion that truthfully is aiming for peace.
The same goes for all organized religions - Christians have their Crusades, Jews have their ancient Israeli battles amongst the original tribes as well as the conflict in Israel/Palestine (remember, war is a double-edged sword).
Every religion has had their zealot moments and all will continue to do so until time ends. Let the cartoons go people - they are meant to get you riled up AND show you how ridiculous the event pictured is.
Bottom line, don’t get pissed because Mohammed has a bomb under his hat, Israel is simulating a neo-Auschwitz (in a very vague way), or Jesus is hanging on a cross while an American soldier guns some children holding sticks; just realize that this isn’t what was meant to happen by any of these religion’s founding law. Also remember that in all cases murder is taboo, even murder done while screaming a god’s name.

–quote– i don’t like you johny sack and i don’t like this internet site. All of you promot hate and violence. you haven’t any faith because faith (of any religion) is love, peace and frendship –quote–
to think that religion and “faith” are necessary to have love, peace, and friendship is, frankly, idiotic. it’s a symptom of a lifetime of religious brainwashing.
religion has always been a sore on mankind, but now it’s getting to the point that it threatens the existence of the human race.
for years non-believers have smiled silently and politely in the face of the most ridiculous declarations and rationalizations from the religious people around them. it’s time now for rational people worldwide to stop humoring these delusionals and start calling religion for what it is: personal delusion and mass insanity.

You are really all stupid because you do not have any respect to our religion
i am muslim but i am not a TERRORIST noone never can publish our Hz.Mohammed ( S.A.V. ) ’s pictures, caricatures, cartoons…
And noone did not drew his picture at that time why because if someone drew his pictures and now may be some muslims will worship as the god ALLAH…
and you most of the Christians now you worship the Hz.Isa as we worship Allah … It is not correct and it doesn’t make any senses..
Please respect our religion do not become to the provoke …
becuse that motherfuc**rs’ main idea is to detonate us and getting riches from this..

It’s not about the jews nor muslims, it’s about humanity. I just so sad that there is no tolerance among comunities. We should respect other comunity even though they are different, and their differences is not something to mock to.

europeans let muslims have mosques in europe. Muslim countries would never build a church.
If they cant see the prob (the muslims ) it will never be peace between us.
This is the key.
End of story
ps. racism is fear and i fear muslims. What do i do about it…what can i do? wait until the muslim world starts to build churches for every country. Maybe even m,uslims and christians can swap religion every second week..
what do u think? Why r there so many muslims in europe if they consider us to be pigs? hmm tooo many qs ds.

massimo - dont make stupid remarks without having spent time in a muslim country. you obviously are constructing stereotypes with no first-hand experience. dont make yourself look less educated and experienced than you have to. im not a muslim (im an agnostic) but ive spent a bit of time in muslim countries with churches and a strong christian population who fears not from the government and lives freely. so go out and live life, dont just read biased news and then try to pretend you know something.

1. Where were you(muslims) when Taliban was demolishing statues of Budha in Afghanistan?
2. Why isn’t allowed to build a church, a temple or a synnagogue in Saudi Arabia, while they are funding muslims all over Europe to build mosques?
3. Why cannot non-muslims also drive on those roads where the muslims can do and i.e. also in Saudi Arabia?
Why……………………………..??

February 28th, 2006 at 10:50 am
Muslims are the most insecure bunch of people the world has ever seen. If they had ANY faith AT ALL a freekin cartoon would not bother them. If they worried that Islam is rooted in complete bullshit then they would react by acting as they do. God help us all if we let them impose their insane rules on the rest of the world. If you want to live in a free society you must stand up now.

Quote: “J-Posten is a very funny newspaper,they support the NAZiS in the 1930s”
“In 1933, the newspaper advocated that Denmark follow Germany’s example and replace petty party politics with the stability of an authoritarian regime. The editorial of May 17, 1933, stated that …democratic rule by the people, as we know it, is a luxury which can be afforded in good times when the economy is favorable. But restoring the economy after many years of lavish spending requires a firm hand… The paper considered the German Weimar republic to be a failure because of its lack of stability.”
– Would anybody consider the Weimar Republic a success?
However, the paper WAS expressing admiration for the Nazi order and how the facists maintained it. However, that doesn’t mean that they supported all of their politics: “A front page story in 1938 was an open letter to Mussolini criticizing the persecution of Jews, written by Kaj Munk, a prominent nationalist and anti-democratic priest.”
” In 1939, the paper rebuked the Danish government for signing a German-Danish treaty of non-aggression.”
And, when the war was well under way in Denmark:
” A number of the paper’s employees were involved in the Danish resistance movement against the German occupation of Denmark.”
“Circulation almost doubled during World War II, despite censorship and paper rationing.”
By the way, the paper changed foundation in 1970, supporting liberalism (the current Danish PM is a Liberalist), and the paper is selv-governig with no external shareholders, like The Times, Washington Post or Fox News Channel (with it’s “Fair and Balanced” view on American and International politics.

this is not a simple issue…
For a Denmark newspaper to publish the cartoons was deeply insulting to Muslims. Muhammed is not to be portrayed - Islam is not a religion of icons (compare to the frequent depictions of Christ; only one of the many differences between Christianity and Islam).
The complicating part of this issue is not whether the Denmark paper should have posted them - they are protected by free speech. But for the government to issue no formal statement on the cartoons is the most insulting. No recognition of the insult added to the initial injury.
I am actually very impressed that the American press has, for the large part, stayed away from publishing the photos. Credit given to the American media.
I think the response from the Iranian newspaper is extreme. However, under free speech ideals I’m not going to say it shouldn’t be done. The submissions that make genuine political statements should be praised; the ones suggesting that the holocaust never existed or was not a serious crime should be denounced, just as the denmark newspaper’s cartoons have.
March 15th, 2006 at 5:27 am
Sorry for my english because i am french. I want to say one thing: what is the link between Danmark and ISRAEL ? there is no one. So stop to want to fight Jews when they are innocent.The president of IRAN is a murderer like Hamas so first stop these guys and after look if Israel is really bad.You are so stupid with this contest. i am writing this text with my friend Fares, a muslim, and he think you are the VIH of Islam. You like war and hate, you don’ t want peace.Don’ t forget one thing: Israeli say “shalom” and it means “peace”; how could you think these people can be criminal?
March 16th, 2006 at 12:40 am
Read The Talmud. You will know that jews are the most racist people of the world. Think! There are jew people that don’t think religion is so important. Albert Einstein was an exemplo of them. But, those of Judaism, are the worst people that exist.
READ THE TALMUD (”People not Jews that read The Talmud, deserve death!” — It says)
March 16th, 2006 at 6:10 am
You are mistaking about the Talmud and the jews…read it really and try to understand this text and you will see that jews loves every people in the world but i think you are too much stupid for understand one word of the Coran or the Bible or the Torah…don’ t forget that jews come from all over the world essentially from north Africa and East Europa so how could they be racist?
March 17th, 2006 at 12:20 am
All racist are imbecile!
You “Anthony” are racist and coward!!!
Where is your surname and your assumption that you are a jew (from Judaism)?
I say: â€People not Jews that read The Talmud, deserve the death!†Deny it!!!
March 17th, 2006 at 5:07 am
i think you are just a man who don’ t know what you say and you don’ t seem very smart. Try to leave with less stupidity in your mind and more comprehension and you will see that there is war and hate only because there is people like you who wants to talk about a topic they don’ t know anything. I’ m sorry for you
March 18th, 2006 at 12:21 am
Your name is not Anthony! You jews use pseudonym!
I said: â€People not Jews that read The Talmud, deserve the death!†You did not deny it!!!
I am against war in any situation.
You are a coward person!
COWARD, COWARD, COWARD!!!
RACIST, RACIST, RACIST!!!

March 18th, 2006 at 7:13 pm
It makes no sense to be explicitly offensive for no reason. Calling whole races of people ‘racist’ is ridiculous…to be Jewish is not to be racist, just as to be Aryan is not to be racist. I’m Irish, what does that make me, if Jews are racist and all Israelis are peaceful? You guys aren’t dealing with a language barrier, you’re dealing with an ignorance barrier.
March 19th, 2006 at 3:58 pm
Very sorry I missed the contest.I think the Muslims are not allowed to say bad words about other religions. But holocaust is not a religious matter. It is an attempt to secure sympathy from EUROPIANS for the bloodshed of Palestinians and eastablishment of the Israel.
These are not cartoons but the pictorial depiction of the reallty. Is not it?

The double standard approach of the West (politicians and media alike) to freedom of speech is utterly abhorant. Whereas journalists are allowed, backed and commended for insulting the religious beliefs of well over a billion moslems worldwide - in the name of freedom speech - the comments of a respected religious scholar on homosexuality have been condemned outright and he has been subjected to long police interrogation on the grounds of inciting violence. Shame, shame, shame…

I remember seeing cartoons like these - equating the conflict in Israel to the Holocaust - in a college textbook (here in the USA), in the early 90s.
I recently saw ‘Jesus is Magic’ - a comedy film released in theatres here. It contained jokes about the holocaust, and jokes at the expense of christians. It wasn’t banned - it hardly raised eyebrows.
June 17th, 2006 at 5:41 pm
Talk about stupid…some of these cartoonists don’t realize that Jews in Nazi concentration were actually **taken there** and *not* allowed to leave. Arabs in the West Bank are free at any time to move to some other part of the Middle East, in any Arab nation they want, under any Arab dictator they like best.
Jews in World War II just WISHED they could have left the camps and been taken in by million of other Jews, the way the millions of Arabs could help out the 50,000 Arabs in Palestine.
It would be too much to expect these things to be understood by a culture that forbids its girls to get educated, to drive, etc. etc. Maybe if Arab nations let their women be part of the workforce (what a crazy idea!) they might prosper more.

Funny how the muzzie cartoon demonstrators in London were holding placards denouncing free speech whilst, at the same time, they were practicing it on our streets.
I wonder how islamic countries would react to Jews or Christians protesting against moslems on their flea-ridden streets.

I like all these cartoons on holocaust and i agree that every one have the right to publish on any topic like holocaust also. it is the theory of eaurop and the eauropions are the people who killed the jews not the muslims but the jews hate muslims not eauropions. and I hate both of them.
July 30th, 2006 at 10:13 pm
So,
I need to know, how many riots and death threats were caused by the holocaust cartoons?
Point made…

Where is my hat.
August 14th, 2006 at 2:14 pm
Let’s try to figure out this…
1) Danish people (probably atheists but not Jews for sure) publish cartoons about Islam
2) In response, an Iranian newspaper makes a contest on the Holocaust, mocking such a sad period in history
3) Iraians and Muslims around the world ask for respect (but they still mock the Holocaust)
Does this makes any sense to any of you?????
Give me a break!!! Start respecting other peoples beliefs, religions and grievances before you ask others to respect yours!
As I recently read a muslim woman say on TV (something alike to:) “I have never seen a Jew blowing up in the middle of a restaurant in Berlin”
Think of your acts. Start accepting the existence of other faiths beside yours!
August 15th, 2006 at 6:34 am
ANYBODY WHO CAN BE OFFENDED BY A CARTOON IS PRIMITIVE! THE DANISH CARTOONS PURPOSE WAS TO START A DEBATE AND PEOPLE WHO GET AFFENDED LACKS SELF IRONI.

You can say anything you like in the west it seems, unless its speaking out against the behaviour of the jews. Even satire of them is forbidden. And people say islam is draconian… jeeeeeeeesus..

well, and i’m sure you know i’m right….
you just can’t brain-wash as much as God could do… guaranteed… i bet you should be either God himself, or to be a prophet… to do all of this brain-washing job… well, if u could be a dictator, that could apply as well, but to a limited number of bull-heads…
so… God wins… yeah.. right… what a victory… so let’em go celebrate in silense…. i don’t think that if God has really existed, would he be so proud having ppl worshipping him ???!!!! so.. he’s either mentally sick… or he’s more stupid even than the creatures he made himself… or if he was clever… then he wouldn’t really need us to worship him… which makes all of the holy books useless, and wrong… so… enough questions…
WAKE UP ASSHOLES!!!! and stop fighting for silly reasons!!!!
i think that God is really watching us… and he’s laughing his ass out loud!!! just look at yourselves.. ANIMALS!!!!
you don’t even deserve sympathy…

most people never want to spend time to understand their own religion, let alone other religions. we follow our own religion because we are born with it… how many of us have ever tried to understand or criticize our own holy book? very very few. I wonder, why are we so eager to criticize or blame or hate some religion(and the community) we never even tried understand just because some people from that community are causing trouble for political reasons ??
there are a million political reasons for muslims to dislike west…. There would not be any war in the middle east if there were no petroleum. Why USA supports Israel blindly from the beginning…. Is it religion… is it because both the bible and the torah are read by the Christians? Why did USA had to come all the way to destroy the tyranny of saddam hossain (and keeping rest of the tyrants in the middle east alive) and to destroy that country for several generations? To save (lol) Iraqi people? Or Jesus talked with Bush about the sufferings of Iraqi people…(god talks with him anyway)? ……………………. The answer is pretty simple…. Petroleum …not religion………
if you look at the history of the genocide, the worst things are done by the Christians(Hitler….Milosevich….) ….and Jews (Sharon…one name, means it all)…not muslims…. If you look at the history of middle east…. You will rarely find that Jews where socially segregated by the muslims because of their religion…. It’s a complete opposite picture when you look at the history of Europe where jews were always treated as mean creatures ? there are several famous European novels/plays about them…. Why do you blame muslims for being racist then?
I do feel pain when I read or watch any movie that depicts the sufferings of the jews by the Nazis. But did they learn anything from their own sufferings? Aren’t the jews doing the same to palestine ? oh… not really .. they are just protecting the promised land…. In fact god has chosen the right people for that job….
Now to the Danish cartoon….. it’s pretty simple concept….. Denmark doesn’t have many muslims…. For whom did they publish those cartoons…. In fact they didn’t publish some cartoons of jesus few months back as that might hurt the feeling of people (that’s, what it should be)…. Don’t you people have any better thing to laugh at? Leave these prophet people alone…. A cartoon will do no harm to them…. But it will just ignite some fanatics…. Now iran is doing something even cool…. Christians mock muslims….–>> Christians helping jews….–>> Jews are all bastards — >> holocaust is a lie — >> lets draw some cartoon…. …I guess it will never end…
God (if there is one) bless mankind…..

Thank you for posting these.
We should be used to it by now: Nothing should suprise us. Nonetheless, the deceit employed in presenting these cartoons in the western corporate media (Wolf Blitzer nodding, murmmering “shameful”) is deeply frightening. Anything they instruct will be believed: war is peace, freedom is slavery, etc.
And there is no apparent end: illegal weapons aren’t, civilians aren’t, civilisation isn’t.

Damit Mark!!!
you’re talking about Muslims as if they were angels!!!
haven’t you read the history of Islam!!! haven’t you read about their “Ghazawat” (battles) against Jews and Christians to “spread” Islam!!!
and surely, you haven’t read about the Burning of Alexandria’s Library on the hands of Al-Khalifa Omar bin Al Khattab!!! wasting a complete history of the civilized mankind!!! numerous books written by great Greek and Roman philosophers and intellectuals were just burnt… and what did he have to say… the Khalifa Omar??? he said…
“if it was evil what they had in the books, then it’s gone now… and if it was knowledge, then we’re enough by the knowledge that Alaah has brought to us in his Holy Book…”
and for those who’re gonna say i’m wrong… i’m a muslim… and i’m from the middle east… and these words are taken from our school books… FUCKIN ASSHLOLES!!! THEY’RE EVEN PROUD OF IT!!!!!
Mr. mark… you really don’t know what Muslims have done… they only stopped killing by the end of the Ottoman’s Dynasty in 1914-1916… but they’re back….
and believe me… you really don’t know them all… of course we have some good and some bad…. but that’s not based on the teachings of Quran, but it’s based on how each man was raised…
afterall… Rabbits are living a great life without Religion… why don’t we follow their steps??!
at least…. rabbits don’t kill each other…
August 15th, 2006 at 7:59 pm
I’m not taking sides (neither jews nor muslims), but if there is a freedom of expression then these caricatures have the right to be oublished. The holocaust is a very controversial subject, still. The thing is every non-jewish people pretty much had enough of the holcoaust, as it’s comes out of every tv, newspaper etc. We are not interested in their “tragedy”. They still making a lot of money out of it. Germany, Hungary and other countries still paying compensation to the survivors (every jew apper to be a survivor. but who died in the holocaust then???). When will the jews like ariel sharon (http://www.zpub.com/un/wanted-as.html) pay for their crimes??? Or they are untouchables because they are the “chosen”??? Who choes them? God certainly didn’t as every soul is equal…

The 12 Mohammed caricatures published in a Danish newspaper in late September 2005 were partly focused on elements of the martyristic interpretation(s) of Islam that justifies and even makes it desirable to kill in the name of God.
Since many Europeans have completely abandoned organised religious communities throughout the 20th century in favour of secular-humanist interpretations, and since Muslims in general (or perhaps due to the fact that imams often claim to speak for the entire Muslim society) appear comitted to a quite orthodox religious interpretation… Then not surprisingly, the above picture has become the most famous “face” of Islam (or rather Muslims) in most Western media since the rise of Khomeini and, of course, Al Quaeda and their sympathizers.
The Hamshahri Holocaust/Israel caricatures portray modern perverted militarist Zionism and its apparent dominance in Western media at the expense of the suffering Palestinian people. The idea of Zionist perversion leading Israel to repeat the crimes of Nazi Germny is a fascinating provocative image that will probably haunt Israel as long as the occupied territories of 1969 aren’t returned.
Of course, right wing conservatives - especially after the increased Muslim badwill due to the terrorist attacks in USA and Europe - claim that a democratic Israel has “a right to defend themselves towards fanatic terrorist aggressors, when corrupt Arab leaders fail to do so”.
In my opinion, the only place where pro-Zionists enjoy actual political dominance is in the Evangelist movements in the United States which, sadly, are quite influential on American politics. In Europe, only German politicians are consequently cautious when criticising Israel. The basic opinion is that modern Israel should be considered a state as any other and met with the same demands. “Holocaust goodwill” does no longer promote special treatment. The Islamist terror and the anti-Israeli hate speech of Ahmadi’Nejad, however, has however once again given Israel more Western goodwill.
The major difference between the Mohammed drawings and the anti-Israeli drawings above is the secular orientation of the latter. “Blasphemy” has more or less ceased to be considered a criminal act, although there are still (old) laws against it. But “racism” (promoting hateful suspicions against specific ethnic groups/people) is considered a much more serious crime. Some of the above cartoons may not be considered ‘racist’, but as long as the majority of Arab countries are governed by corrupt despots or uncompromising theocracies, the suspicion of ‘propaganda’ remains unavoidable - especially for the Iranian drawings.
August 16th, 2006 at 7:47 am
The only difference between mocking Mohammed and the holocaust is this: Mohammed was probably real.
HA HA! Fuck all you crybabies. This is social Darwinism at work. Learn to take a punch or become extinct. Jews can’t hide behind the myth of their holocaust, and Muslems can’t expect everyone to like Mohammed. There are plenty of things in this world worth pulling the trigger over, and this ain’t one of them. Come down off the cross, we need the wood.
August 16th, 2006 at 11:25 am
i think that people who drew pictures of mohammed probably didnt realize how taboo what they did was. it was ignorant, absolutely. i think muslims in the middle east are right to draw a comparison to how taboo it is to joke about the holocaust, which is seen in america and europe as one of the most terrible occurances of mass murder in recent western history. still, how does furthering ignorance help anyone? does hurting someone else really make what happened any better? muslims should have asked for an apology, not that the people who drew cartoons be killed. the middle east and muslims could have used this as an opportunityhad to educate people in america and about their culture, rather than further supporting the stereotype of muslims in the middle east being fanatics who want to kill everyone who disagrees with them.
these cartoons will be received in the United States as ignorant, but we would not for a second suggest that someone be killed for their ignorance. I hope that one day people on both sides of this issue can swallow their pride and apologize.

Waah, waah, waah.
Who the Hell cares!
If the publishing of a cartoon can start a Jihad, then perhaps there’s something wrong with your religion.
If you find offense at these cartoons perhaps there’s something wrong with you, too.
If your God looked upon you and saw your reaction to what you see in these cartoons He would glady smite you for being an uholy fool.

Several of the most “shocking” Cartoons where created by muslim fundamentalists themselves (at least 3 where). Simply because the others where not extrem enough.
Muslims have a right to dont like the original cartoons but they have no right to forbid this cartoons (or others).
In all islamic countries (except turky) there is no segregation between religion and politics. This means they mostly cant understand that the politicians in european countries have no right nor power to forbid such cartoons in the press.
I sometimes wonder why many moslems (from many different countries) like to live in europe (maybe because of the western freedom… and wellfare) but they dont like to accept the way of living and most at all the freedom.
I must say the following. If they dont like to live in our countries (they surely have the right to do so) then they are free to live in every islamic countries. Maybe their president (mostly a dictator) would like this to happen.
I have several friends that are muslims, but they are mostly europeans. I wonder why they arent so shocked about the original cartoons. Maybe they understand the concept of freedom of speech. “You have the right to dislike it, but you have no right to forbid it”.
At least, it is the goal of cartoons to show facts in a humoristic way. This cartoons (and every other) are very exaggerated, this is the concept of cartoons.
Maybe you (i mean the muslims) should first unseat the corrupt and radical politicians in your country. This would help you more than crys about some bad drawings.
August 16th, 2006 at 9:50 pm
This whole thing is hilarious. All these cartoons are messed up but it’s hilarious how so many people take these so seriously. somehow i dont think anyone targeted by the Holocaust cartoons are going to go crazy and start setting stuff on fire..just my guess.

my intention was not to prove that muslims are better than othere community…. but the point you have made is not well justified… still I believe that kind of thing might have happened… whatever it is, you can’t have conversation/debate with others by swearing and cursing even it is on your own community. The things that you are taught in school may be wrong…but you have to remember, all the tyrants use religion to supress people to prove that whatever they are doing is for the religion and for God…. don’t be so easily deceived…
how do you think al-quaeda recruits all these people… by giving them money? nop… by convincing them whatever they are doing is for religion… you can always find those kind of people….
also, you were very quick to disagree abt one point… but as you are in the middle east… you may make it clear… are the non-muslims in the middle east badly treated? socially segregated? how about the jews in Iran? are they suffering as iran is the biggest enemy of israel?
because of my job I have travelled and lived in many muslim countries… and I have lived in bangladesh for several years… I know the story of genocide by pakistan there…. but the point I wanted to make in my previous post is that genocide on other religious race just to eliminate them from the land….
people living in the west simply don’t have any idea in the muslim countries… they are much more friendly and family oriented… respectful to their elders…. which is hugely absent in the west… the things that you see in the media is representing may be only 1% of the community…the fanatics…. the rise of these fanatics happened for reasons we all know… we just don’t want to blame oursalves…. (laden was a freedom fighter against the soviets and terrorist when doing the same against america), i suggest you to watch the movie “Syriana”… you may have some idea….
As i have understood the reason the muslims don’t like to have any image of Mohammed is because of the fear that people will start worshiping him instead of god himself. The frantic fanatic response is not acceptable at all… but my point is why to pick up some topic of some community to offend them when that particular issue is not harming anybody…. same goes to the holocaust issue….

The world would be so much better if Jews, Christians, Muslims, and every other religious group would realize that what they believe in is mythology. Wake up! There is no invisible man in the sky! All your “holy” books were written by primitive men with limited understanding of the world. Judaism grew from Egyptian and Canaanite myths, just as Christianity grew from Judaism and popular Roman mystery religions like Mithraism. Islam took elements of both religions and combined it with the Arabian moon god mythos. It’s ALL bogus. Religious people have been oppressing, torturing, and killing people for thousands of years because of these ridiculous beliefs. All this bloodshed in the Middle East is because of this nonsense. Wake up people and realize that there is no god and that all religions are primitive stories.
August 17th, 2006 at 7:41 pm
Nation: A group of people who identify with eachother (Jews, Albanians, Muslims a.s.o)
State: A governing system of people. Not the same as a nation.
Race: A group of people who are similar in their genes.
Nationalism: Protecting your Nations interests, promoting your Nation.
Racism: Saying that your race/group of people are superior to others.
Nazism: Using cold logic to say that youre race is superior and that you should promote, strengthen it and anihilate those of another race.
Sionism: Jewish Nationalism before and after the existence of the State of Israel.
Good neighbours: People who respect those who live close to them and know that they have to be kind and treat each other with respect. And this is necessary if you plan on living somewhere for a long time.
Machiavelli: A guy who thought that you should use the power of fear to rule. And to use excessive force to instill that fear and hate. (that is, if you couldnt get those you wanted to rule to love you.. like if you conquered their land by force)
Jesus: A guy who said that all men and women share one thing, God and his love. And that love and God is the greatest good.
Ratoinalism: Claiming that real truths can only be found with logic and reasoning.
Religion: Something that is not very Rational at first sight but is a guidance for people to live their lives and fill it with meaning. Since people find meaning of their life in religions, their faith surely must be very important to them?
Respect: Knowing that someone to you is irrational by choice and still respecting that persons choices. Showing someone that you disagree, sometimes in the extremes, but that you still find that person a human being and worth something more than just flesh and bone (or power or money).
Wrong: Failing to understand that we all are humans with right to respect for our faith our lives our freedom of speech our dignity and the dignity of those who we care for.
Right: Standing up for yourself and what you believe in when someone disrespects you or someone you love.
Wrong: When you stand up for yourself and want to humiliate or hurt the offender, beyond what YOU yourself would expect as punishment if you did the same. Like anihilating Jews for being anti-aryan, shooting palestinians for throwing stones, burning down embassies for an insult, going to court when someone denies the holocaust and so on.
The problem: People who are humiliated and disrespected lose their patience after a while.. for some its 2000 years of persecution, for some its 40 years in refugee camps, for some its their faith being spit on, for some its the tragedies of their families being spit on.
How to make it worse: Instead of straight forwardly standing up for yourself, you become impatient and try to instill FEAR in your opponent. Telling yourself and everyone else that YOU are right and ONLY you. Now thats a lie! And everyone knows it.
How does it feel riding the bus when you might have a suicide bomber on your left?
How does it feel living in a camp thats being raided by some other countrys trigger-happy military every other day?
You get scared.. someone has got you full of FEAR.
So you get impatient, humiliated and you want to get back, especially since you want to stand up for your people and your faith. Since you are the martyr, maybe in a Merkava tank or inside a heavy belt of terror.
Is it too late for Israel to good neighbours with the surrounding countries?
Does Israel have a plan to stay in that area for more than 5 years (maybe they decide to A-bomb Iran and get FULL MACHO RESPECT)?
Of course you cant come to a negotiation and say “hey, ok, we want peace, if you just give us this.. this is ok..” no.. you say “we want war! you must surrender to us!” so that you can make some compromise.. but some choose to Negotiate the “absolutely best deal possible” and some choose to defend their familys “honour”.
A strong leader or commander doesnt have to use Fear or strong punishment. Thats the sign of a truly weak leader.
A strong leader gains the respect from those he leads, and also those he doesnt lead.
So..

Come on! Are those cartoons suppose to be offensive? They suck, the only good one that approaches offensive is Hitler fucking Anne Frank. The cartoonists lack creativity to truly offend if that were their intentions. Draw pictures of Jesus fucking mohammed in the ass or George Bush shooting his load of jizz into mohammed’s mouth or something like that. Or raping muslim women with symbols of American culture like a Coke bottle or a double penetration of a muslim cunt with the fucking World Trade Centres. As for all that bullshit about mohomaed with a bomb on his head, whats all the fuss about? If muslims are NOT suppose to ever draw pictures of mohammed than the cartoon is NOT a picture of mohammed, just an ignorant cartoonist’s idea of mohammed. DOESN’T ISLAM ALLOW IGNORANCE? THE CARTOON WAS A PICTURE DRAWN BY A IGNORANT NON MUSLIM. SO IN REALITY IT WASN’T A PICTURE OF MOHAMMED!! GET IT? FOR EXAMPLE WHEN I THINK OF MOHAMED I SEE A PILE OF SHIT WITH A BOMB ON IT!!!BUT THAT IS MY IGNORANCE, NOT A TRUE DEPICTION OF O
August 18th, 2006 at 7:28 am
OF MOHAMED. what are muslums gonna do? kill all those people who are ignorant and uneducated about there religion? Can’t we choose to be stupid and ignorant and make fun of things we know shit about? Only muslims think and believe that there belief is the only true one. Big whoopeee fuck welcome to the fucking world, every mother fucker on this planet thinks that what they believe is the TRUTH. why is islam so insecure about itself it can’t tolerate being made fun of?will a cartoon or a joke make it untrue? of course not! at least for muslims. Make all the fun and jokes about jesus or whatever the fuck is held sacred in the West…money? fucking children? drugs? Until you are capable of truly being offensive and able to withstand the lowest in vulgarity, can you say you are a learned person. Let your mind sink to the lowest low and soar to the highest high, then your mind has experienced its range. so fuck jesus fuck mohamed fuck george bushes mom fuck the internte fuck fuck fuck hhha aahhaahahahah h

Fuck the innocent collateral damage, there is always casualties in war. And take a look at all the countries and groups of “Devil worshippers” ie non-muslims in the world that have nuclear weapons. Fucking Satanic USA, the wine drinking fellatio performing FRANCE, the antiGOD RUSSIA, the diaperheads INDIA who worships fucking elephants and blue faced demons and the FUcking chinks who run over their own children with tanks, and the JEWS in Israel. HEy motherfuckers see any muslims with the nukes? the Pakies? fuck them. so lets get it on. all non muslims with nukes versus muslims with nukes…there isn’t any ha ha you motherfuckers lose. So stop your fucking demand for respect you backwards fuckers a ll you are capable of is a few planes and a few bommbs even a dirty bomb is a joke. because once one go off then it is open season on ALL MUSLIMS.
August 21st, 2006 at 12:16 pm
It seems that these Holocaust cartoons do not deny the existence of the Holocaust, but rather compare the methodology of the Nazis with the modern day methodology of the Israelis (e.g. building Walls/Gettos, denying the palestinian people access to a proper national infrastructure, freezing assets etc) and also exposes the hypocrisy at that.
Fair enough.
Hence:
1. Accept the Mohammad (peace be upon him) caricatures as a healthy introduction of freedom of speech in the world of Islam (don’t take yourselves too seriously guys).
2. Accept these rather apt observations of Israeli hypocrisy (Your nation [Israelis] have some moral standards to set and live up to - so why don’t you start right now).
That seems to me a fair deal.
Hypocrisy on both sides is no good.

So if a muslim toddler doodles a picture of Mohammad with crayons like a stick figure or a happy face with a turban, does he get killed? Or does he get taught? I would hope the toddler will be educated and given a second chance, and that his “disrespect” will be forgiven. Now extend that idea to an adult raised in a non-Muslim culture, he doodles a picture of Mohammed. Will he be killed or taught? Just because he is an adult doesn’t mean he isn’t a “toddler” in the knowledge of foreign ideas and religions. Shouldn’t his “disrespect” also be forgiven and that he be educated on the proper ideas? What if that adult is slow learner and just doesn’t understand and continues to doodle disrespectful pictures of Mohammed, will he be killed then? So do Muslims kill all mentally handicapped doodlers? I should hope not. So why not just regard those cartoonists as mentally handicapped slow learning toddlers? Shouldn’t you feel sorry for them instead of anger? Shouldn’t you try to have patience to educate them instead of threatening to kill them? Now extend that adult to a nation of mentally handicapped slow learning toddlers with crayons, you’ll have an idea of what the West is really like. Instead of anger, you need to show pity for these obvious developementally challenged people

Jewish people make jokes about holocaust too.
September 3rd, 2006 at 4:12 pm
At least the holocaust is being talked about these days. No one ever mentions the arab genocide that occured in the first crusade (arab genocide, as in muslim, christians AND jews were slaughtered by european crusaders). No one talks about the hundreds of thousands of arabs slaughtered in Algeria during their 60’s war of independence. Everyone remembers the name of the three Israeli soldiers captured in the past few weeks but barely anyone knows the names of even one of the millions of palestinians that have been killed or taken hostage by Israel for the past 50 years. Its not the Mohamed cartoons alone that make muslims mad. Its not the Iraq war alone which is making arabs mad. Its not even the Israeli war crimes alone that are making us mad. Its the fact that we have for decades been used, spat on, and then ignored. We have to endure labels, stereotypes, and insults and then be refused a voice when we try to reply. If we are to be constantly stepped on like insects or animals, we’d rather respond as lions, than as ants.
September 4th, 2006 at 2:08 am
her Arab,look bro I’m arab too and I will tell you why no one remember all of that you talked about .
the problem of our society that they want everyone to respect them and honor without doing anything good,look at the jews they lost over 6 million people in the second world war,did you see any of them bomb embasies,did you see or hear about any jew party bombed a full bus of inocent people,or did you hear about any jew bombing twin towers ?
IN THE NAME OF GOD !!!!!!!!!!!!!
man is that what god(allah) wants ????
they respect the world then the world have to respect them…

The cartoons are beautiful. I mean, they are political statements. There is very little about anti-semitism or religious intolerance in them. They are in fact an acute observation of the fact that the Israeli government is using its victimhood to victimize other people, not unlike abused children that when they grow up become abusers themselves.
I should congratulate the Danish newspaper that initiated that polemic, as these cartoons are a breath of fresh freedom of expression air, just as they intended. I hope that the newspapers in Europe who published the Danish cartoons are brave (and consistent) enough to publish these.
Of course, for consistency, the iranian newspaper should publish the Mohammed cartoons. But unfortunately freedom of expression is exactly something iranians can expect to live with. . .
November 2nd, 2006 at 2:43 pm
No Felipe, they are not beautiful statements. Take the Anne Frank one: in most countries, someone who rapes a child and ensures she then dies gets locked up, or at least disapproved of by the majority. Where the fuck do you live / get your morals from? Ach,medinnerjacket wants the world to equate Israel’s enforced requirement to control the terrorists who voluntarily live in democratically-ensured squalor ((using the West’s billions to pay for weapons and for gay Arafat’s trophy wife (yeah I know) to go shopping etc)) with the kidnap and systematic murder of millions of civilians (of many races but mostly Jews) in gas chambers.
2 totally different things. Mohammed cartoons are at worst culturally insensitive, much like all the shitty lies Arab papers print about Jews on a daily basis; and check out the rednecks on here who think anyone who doesn’t fantasise about fucking their own mother wearing a US flag must be a “Sand Nigger”. All words, insulting, but just words.
The Nazi crimes were on an unimaginably larger, crueller scale. Iran’s president tells you that Hamas-hunting, Auschwitz and a cartoon about a muslem being violent are equal. And you believe him? Geez - suicide sounds your best option.

ok people. i see the problem here. in your socioty you have no respect for anything, your parents your god… no one, and you seem to think people are that stupid everywhere. if you want to make fun of your own religion on movies or cartoons or anywere then go ahead, but there are other people in the world who would kill you for doing it not just muslims, i dare you go to a shrine anywere in asia or africa or south america the other 5 billion people on this world and make fun of their religion or god and well see what happens.

“i see the problem here. in your socioty you have no respect for anything, your parents your god… no one”
Thanks “the mind” you figured it all out. Where the hell did you get the idea that we don’t respect our PARENTS? and to be honest i have absolutely NO respect for “my” god because i don’t respect anything that doesn’t exist. Also, making generalizations like that are very dangerous, it’s like someone saying all muslims wanna blow up America and all christians wanna blow up abortion clinics.
November 10th, 2006 at 1:06 am
well, wether or not you did it your self is not the point the point is you promote it, you say yes make fun of other peoples religion then its like you did it your self.
if you dont beleave in god then thats your problem. that point it self proves my point that you dont have the right to make fun of people who do.
the problem with the west isnt the christians its the athiest like you who think its funny making fun of god and religion cause they think the rest of the world is retarded cause the believe in something more then them sleves.
you dont believe in god then thats fine do what you want but dont mess with other people
November 10th, 2006 at 10:28 am
“if you dont beleave in god then thats your problem. that point it self proves my point that you dont have the right to make fun of people who do.”
For your information, in the United States of America, we can make fun of whoever we damn well please. But in most cases what you call “making fun” is a thoughtful argument, can you not deal with someone making you argue for your religion? then maybe you should rethink it.
“the problem with the west isnt the christians its the athiest like you who think its funny making fun of god”
Yes, the atheists are the ones starting wars and occupying countries. We are the ones who blow up someone else for believing something different. All i have to say is fuck you. I live as an atheist in the bible belt, I have to keep my mouth shut when christians preach anywhere they want, Iv had girlfriends who told me to lie to their parents about my religion. Atheists ARE NOT in power.

how does making fun of a religious figure (Mohamed) equate to making fun of a human tragedy? should not the contest have been to make cartoons about the Danish cartoonist’s religion, if he has stated that he has one? you know kinda like tit for tat
January 13th, 2007 at 1:25 pm
Humor above all else. People who can’t stand other people making fun of their sour spots should grow up, be them muslims, jews or anyone. The muslim doctrine is irrelevant to non-muslims and it is their right to make fun of Muhammed, Islam or the Qu’ran. Anyone taking offence to these things should wonder whether it is their own insecurities speaking or their distorted view of “right”.
In the same sense should the Holocaust be open to scrutiny.
Oh and btw, where are the evangelical cartoons? I’ sure there’s some fuel for laughter in there…

I seriously dont understand why people start these arguments in the fırst place! ıts arguments lıke thıs that starts a war. how can some one not have a belıef ın GOd??? ıs ıt because you are too afraıd to see the real purpose of lıfe??? or are you too scared to belıeve ın some thıng whıch cannot be held or seen and later on fınd out that ıt wasnt true? there are so many relıgıons out there and ı am 100% sure that none of them would allow war, hatred and also takıng the lıves of those who GOD created and ıs the only person who can destroy!!!!! any relıgıon that exısts ı am sure ıs full of peace and harmony. love and compassıon. we shouldnt be judgıng each other! thats some thıng only GOD has the power to do! come on people! why hate eachother? why not hold each other’s hand and try to solve other problems whıch we have ın thıs world such as poor people and sıcknesses!why not support one another and dont ask for favors ın return? all the Muslims out there! please put yourselves together, stand up straıght. keep your head up when walkıng ın the street and dont be ashamed of anythıng!
JUST LEAVE IT ALL TO ALLAH!!!!!! THESE KINDS OF THINGS SHOULDNT BE ANGERING YOU. YOU KNOW WHAT BEING A MUSLIM IS ALL ABOUT! SO DONT JUDGE THOSE WHO DONT KNOW! ALWAYS REMEMBER WHAT PROPHET MUHAMMED (PBUH) SAID! ”IF ONLY THEY KNEW”!!!!!!!
May 17th, 2007 at 10:46 pm
Here’s a small sample of the Quran’s teaching on how to deal with unbelievers. Doesn’t seem very harmonious to me. And if you say I’m cherry picking, this is exactly what you do when you quote say the prophet said there’s no compulsion in relgion, etc.
etc, etc, etc.

Brian:
QED, we’re on a site devoted to Religious Freaks. And you’ve just pointed out that one religion in particular is extreme. Du’h. They’re all bloody extreme! I would like to comment that in my humble view any religion is extreme and that you can take any quote in or out of context - it doesn’t matter. Simply, there is no God. May I recommend the book ‘The Golden Bough’ by Sir James Frasier which will happily (albeit at some tedious length) explain the history of religion around the world. It seems to build on the point that ignorance and lack of understanding are universal quantities. Let’s not blame the Muslims (may blessings be upon them etc) but perhaps mankind’s apparently infinite capacity to rip off one’s fellow man at a profit. To the priest go the goodies! (Damn, I’ve missed my calling!)
June 6th, 2007 at 10:12 am
Where is the perspective people?
The cartoons of Mohammed were to illustrate where Muslims today get their penchant for religious violence. Known history of Islam attests to this. Yet because a cartoon was used to illustrate this sad truth the Muslims feel it is acceptable to use the tragedy of the holocaust as their cartoon come uppance? I fail to see the humor of millions of people being killed in various concentration camps. I find it sad that Muslims are more willing to make jokes about the deaths of millions of innocent people rather than actually taking the time to examine WHY people look unfavorably towards their “religious” founder?

Well … I’m born to a Muslim family, and live in a great country called Pakistan. (Seriously!! Don’t judge Pakistan on the basis of CNN and Fox unless you have seen at least three major cities of the country)
That said, let’s get back to the topic. I wholehearted agree with the notion that religion has done a great deal of harm to the world. Or maybe, ABUSE of religion has done a great deal of harm to the world.
Now these Danish cartoons, in the name of freedom of expression, are a deliberate assault at the sentiments of 1.5 billion people, who do not even happen to be very educated!! Now this doesn’t sound very mature of Jyllands-Posten, and others who followed suit. OK fine, Muslims are by and large uneducated, illiterate, intolerant, indoctrinated, and “religiously brainwashed”. This is, unfortunately, true. But I don’t understand the reason behind more civilized countries demonstrating the same characteristics in the name of “freedom of expression”. Frankly, deliberately provoking an uncivilized barbaric crowd is not a very intelligent or wise thing to do. You are only making the matters worse. Moreover, suppression of any ideas denying Holocaust is also rather hypocritical. As someone in the above posts commented that mocking a tragedy is a sad thing to do; neither is it a very good idea to outrightly suppress the perception of the event’s dubiousness, while you’re flaunting support for freedom of expression.
Freedom of speech should not mean outrightly attacking dearly held beliefs of any particular creed, especially when the other side is not willing to see the “humor” in it.
But I must say that some of the cartoons (both Danish and Iranian) are quite funny. :P
March 4th, 2008 at 8:03 am
But, that’s completely untrue.
The cartoons were first published purely as comedy, without intentionally insulting anyone. The artist asumed that most people were able to handle a little joke.
However, the later republishing of the cartoons was in responce to the muslim reaction of burning flags and storming embassys. The whole problem lies with the muslim community, (not all of them, just the ones overreacting) first in not having a sense of humor, and second in blowing the whole thing out of proportion.
Of course, on a deeper level, the problem lies with the fact that muslims are afraid of any criticism on their religion. The same goes for all religions, but the more mature religions have learned to deal with critics in a raional way, while Islam is still in the Inquisition stage.

I really don’t see any anti-Semitism in these, save for the unofficial one about Hitler. When I clicked the link to this site, I expected anti-Jewish, racist cartoons. Instead, these are legitimate political commentaries equating the Holocaust to Israel’s occupation of Palestine.
It is important to remember, folks, that criticism of Israel’s policies are not anti-Semitic. It would be like saying criticism of the Nazis and the Holocaust are anti-German.
June 14th, 2008 at 7:47 am
SirRoundSound, your point is well-taken, although I happen to think the jews-to-tanks one and the one with the jewish ash jars are anti-semitic (the former because it has the word “story” appended to “holocaust,” the latter because it depicts throwing jews into a fire). The are many aspects of Israel’s policies I disagree with.

“Too many religions, just only one God”
Black Sabbath/Ozzy Osbourne.
I’ve seen here these most-speaked-of caricatures, made from both “sides”. Beyond a questionable good taste I found some of them being a little bit boring, some funny. Some just trigger an alarm on real facts.
However, NONE of them can be offensive, unless you are really stupid. (no one is THAT stupid) Or, and this I think is the case, having a great interest in making propaganda for hatery and fake reasons for more “war on terror”.
I’v also read the Rushdie’s “Satanic Versets”, because of the fuzz about it. I found it to be(with surprise, I admit) a fascinating fantastic story, a mix of cultures, morals and fairytales, written damn well…
So much scandal for nothing.
But the money keep going on arab oil, israeli army, us war on terror, drugs from afganistan, civil wars on african oil+diamonds+natural resources countries etc…
So?
Is it really about ancient religions or about the money?
I’d say “follow the money”.
Just an opinion.

A lot of Muslims out there seem to think that Islamic prohibitions on depicting Mohammed apply to everyone, not just Muslims. Non-Muslims are NOT obligated to respect Islamic taboos nor Islam itself. Islam is a religion and religion is fair game. It is also a political idealogy bent on world domination bent on world domination. Getting Westerners and non-Muslims to kow-tow and submit is just the first step. We are not obligated to respect the beliefs of others if there’s no basis in fact in their beliefs. Theres no evidence for God’s existance, so why shoud we?

the first time I watched the famous program of Opera , she was talking about Iraq & laughing while making some stupid jokes…I just wondered if really she is so ” educated” to be in such position! later on when I’ve been in USA & some European countries , I knew that most of the western people are so chauvinists, ignorant, uneducated & far far away from being open-minded
The west is the only one responsible of the holocaust, is the only one responsible of mass destruction, mass killing of other nations & spreading chaos…& after that you see their own people speaking proudly ab out human rights & civilization!!!
We the Muslims are not responsible of the holocaust. We were living in peace before the coming of the colonizing countries. After that we started to see gangs getting over our countries.. & still they are doing & because of the west we cannot get the peace inside our countries. Jews, Christians of our nations …were just part of our people that we share with them the blood, the land the food… My own grand fathers were Christians .& I don t hate the Christianity when I became Muslim I just loved it much more with my new religion & saw it greater far away from the dirty ideology of the church.
The west is just a group of gangs & passive followers who you can control by giving them pleasure & food. the gang heads knew how to use the world without having any ethical basics in their use. look what they did to the native people of the “new world”, look what they do to spread chaos to get petrol…
the stupid American people still think that their famous CIA agent Ben Laden is a true Muslim & leader..that he did the 9/11 & the Muslim people in behind… the ones who new the truth that their own countries deceived them to fulfill some agenda still repeat that dirty words of their well played piece of theater.& they just insist that are “innocent” & that they should kill all the Muslims like they did to the native Americans so that they can get the promised lands full of free petrol…
I ve been in the west & while talking with the most educated people I just got the impression that all the people in there are just stupid & believing lies & propaganda…they just read their own languages, know the news of their channel TV …they are not opened to the others, they don t know anything about the others.
