Iran holocust denial cont.

JTA: Iran’s biggest newspaper requested cartoon submissions that question the Holocaust. The Hamshahri daily announced the contest Monday, calling it a response to the publication by European newspapers of cartoons satirizing Islam’s prophet, Mohammed. “The Western papers printed these sacriligious cartoons on the pretext of freedom of expression, so let´s see if they mean what they say and also print these Holocaust cartoons,” graphics editor Farid Mortazavi said. Hamshahri is offering gold coins to the best 12 entries. Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has recently drawn international censure by calling the Holocaust a myth.
