I completely agree with you, but I just wanted to point out that the idiocy is all over the place (found in the wikipedia discussion):

"A prominent Iranian newspaper says it is going to hold a competition for cartoons on the Holocaust to test whether the West will apply the principle of freedom of expression to the Nazi genocide against Jews as it did to the caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad." http://www.nytimes.com/2006/02/07/world/africa/07iht-web.020...

My point is just that everyone (atheists, christians, muslims, jews) needs stop being immature and realize that trying your best to piss off people with a different opinion is just going to cause polarization and make them think their way of thinking is correct.

As a member of "the West", let me reply to this Iranian paper's contest with this statement: Don't care, go on, whatever. See that, we aren't hypocritical on this... your turn to stop caring about the Mohammad cartoons. The ball is in your court.
You weren't part of the Holocaust, I assume??
