Kulharee writes (in the article) <<< After I read the news, hundreds of thousands of thoughts went into my mind. >>>

Another exaggeration of the kind that Zeemax mentioned earlier, all for the purpose of ulterior motive. And by the way, there is no such word as ``newses``, you might want to consult a tabloid dictionary.

Of course Kulharee is oblivious to the bigger picture that is why this article, which even the basest of tabloids wouldn`t honor otherwise. In a somewhat odd way, his reaction is similar to the Mullah`s reaction to the cartoons, lot of noise with little substance.

The bigger picture is that the US is building up Ahmadenejad as the enemy figure for public consumption and there is no better way to do it than to link him with Hitler and Anti-Semitism. Regarding the Holocaust Cartoon Contest, if that was arranged by the government of Iran, which is a big ``if``, then it was done for mostly political reasons and when you have a cartoon contest of that nature, it is more than likely that people that were killed are not being mocked at but the USE of the Holocaust to hold the rest of the world hostage, as the Holocaust Industry and the Zionists do, is being made fun of.

Well written Feroz...those who mock at one of the most tragic events in history are not fit to be called human beings.

Some reactions:

Karen Pollock, chief executive of the Holocaust Educational Trust, said that victims of the Holocaust and their families were growing used to insults from Iran. ``It`s just very sad,`` she told Times Online. ( from The Times, UK)


Israel Launches SEO Contest Against Iran Holocaust Cartoons
By Israel News Agency Staff
Jerusalem
February 7.....In response to Iran`s best-selling newspaper announcing a competition to find the best cartoons about the Holocaust, the Israel News Agency launched an SEO - Internet search engine optimization marketing contest to prevent Iran news Websites from reaching top positions in Google.
``When I heard that a newspaper in Iran was now holding a cartoon contest on the Holocaust, I knew that SEO would be the most potent tool in combating it,`` said Joel Leyden, publisher of the Israel News Agency. ``That 12 winners in Iran would have their Holocaust cartoons published and would receive two gold coins (worth about $140 each) as a prize, I donned my SEO Israel Defense Forces uniform, cocked and loaded my keyboard. There is no way that Iran will spit on the graves of over 6 million Jews who perished in the Holocaust.``


(from a seemingly anti-Islamist blog)
According to South Park, it takes precisely 7.5 years for something to go from tragedy to comedy. Hence, AIDS is funny. However, I think leaving aside Eric Cartman, we can all agree that the Holocaust will never be funny. Wait. Maybe Cartman is actually Iranian?

....What`s so odd about this is that the Iranian dude actually makes a bit of a good point. In many European countries, Holocaust denial is a crime, something antithetical to the very principle we are trying to uphold here. How sad that such a pig would have to make that point....

It increasingly appears to me that by publishing shallow content like this, it is now chowk-staff`s policy to educate the authors by reader`s contributions on the subject, rather than the other way around.

There have been many such instances recently. Prime example being Dr. Sohail`s insight into the mind of `suicide bombers`.

Author,

...what kind of a human would like to poke fun at the murder of 6 million people?

This is simplistic at best.

Ahmedinejad is a `holocaust denier` just as scores of others who believe the whole thing is exaggerated out of proportion and actually less than a million jews died.

this is just ahmedi style..nothing subjectual i could figure out from this post, rather fun of tehzeeb and putting fire of exploitation...

I dont know why people hate ahmedi nijad so much that they dont have courage to face him..Lets see how Buch can talk to his open invitation of world affairs and current situation.
