Iran Hosts Holocaust Cartoon Contest

    Iran recently hosted a holocaust cartoon contest. This brings up major conflict in questioning if this is an acceptable contest and if it's morally correct. So why is it such a big deal to some and not to those presenting it? It bothers me a lot to think that this is actually happening. People could always argue that it's the freedom of speech and that it should be allowed considering the other cartoons made representing Muhammad and other cartoons along those subjects. One major difference is that we don't strongly care if you mock our religious leaders or prophets, but mocking our dead family is incomparable.

    If it's considered racist to disagree with this contest then call me racist, but we're not going to burst into your office shooting you and your colleagues dead with AK47s or rocket propelled grenades. It's straight up murder! So at what point is it no longer morally and legally correct to promote murder (which I needn't mention, is also against the law)? At what point is it unacceptable to break one law and consider it another? At what point is it okay for there to be piles of dead Jews with Iran being a flamingo with its head stuck in the ground? That's the fundamental difference.
