Cartoon capers - never a dull moment

Berenike has this to say on the matter over at ex Laodicea and follows on with this pithy observation.

I'd like to dedicate this post to these characters who have helped prove the point I made in commenting on Berenike's first post.

The controversy took an unusual turn with a Belgian-Dutch Islamic political organisation posting anti-Jew cartoons on its website on Saturday. The Arab European League's site carried a disclaimer saying the images were used as part of an exercise in free speech rather than to endorse their content. One showed an image of Anne Frank in bed with Hitler. Dyab Abou Jahjah, the party's founder, defended the action on Dutch television, saying: "Europe has its sacred cows, even if they're not religious sacred cows."
