A Danish newspaper published six cartoons from the Iranian government’s Holocaust cartoon contest. The six cartoons were printed in last Friday’s edition of the Danish daily Information. The Iranian government launched the contest earlier this year after a Danish newspaper printed cartoons critical of the Islamic prophet Mohammed. Among the cartoons the Danish newspaper chose to print is one featuring President Bush with a gun and helmet with the Star of David, pointing at a painting of Adolf Hitler and saying: “He started it.”
