We all know by now the sensibilities of Iran about cartoons in the European media. Memri has collected some cartoons published in the Iranian media. Iranian humor seems to possess a distinct flavor...
BTW, I don't understand the headline (of course not...). Do we have folks here fluent in Persian?
Update 1: Solomonia has an interesting posting on how to deal with Iran.
Update 2: frenchfgoli2 kindly offered this translation of the headline: "Holocaust (Hitler's human burning ovens)". Unbelievable.
Pardon my OTness again, gentlemen, but this is something your readers should keep following, because I highly doubt your MSM will mention 1 thing:
The Dream City of the Kurds
(with pictures!)

Clark Braxton's blog, http://braxton2008.blogspot.com/ has a better comment on the cartoons than I ever could.
In addition, Braxton's post on the cartoons was censored by Google-owned Blogspot.
I have a "We are all Danes" campaign at http://www.crockplot.blogspot.com.

The cartoons on MEMRI are just nastily preaching to the choir. And so, ineffective as political cartoons. This one, I just couldn't stop laughing, even though I don't agree with it.

The headline says:
Holocaust ( hitler's human burning ovens).
Not that i feel specially proud of my iranian heritage these days...

There is value in preaching to the choir. Do enough of it and you will have cemented a world-view. Consider the effects of 50 years of this on many Arab populations.
