Muslims are going nuts around the world because the beloved Prophet was caught with a lit bomb under his turban in Denmark.
We all know that their extreme protests are wrong and uncivilized, but are they wrong to be upset? Many of us in the "West" are saying that it was a joke and that they should lighten up.
Now Iran is holding a content to get the best satirical Holocaust cartoons. When Jews get upset will the "West" give them the same advice as we gave Muslims?
Is this wrong? I mean satirising the Holocaust? Why are people so touchy with it? I mean there have been a lot of genocide in our history when more than 6 million people have been killed.
In my opinion (I will definetely take a lot of heat for this), I think the Jewish groups have been milking the holocaust for many years. I would never say anything bad about Jewish people themselves, but I do have some harsh comments for the Israeli government, yet it almost seems that it would come across as anti-semetic to express them.
How long will the rest of the world have to feel guilty about the Holocaust. A typical exchange seems to be:
Non-Jew: Hey Israel, why are you firing rockets into sovereign Lebanon?
Israeli Gov: Remember the Holocaust, 6 million Jews were slaughtered.
Non-Jew: Oh, ya. That was so horrible, nevermind what I was asking.
Same goes for blacks in North America with slavery. Always ready to play the "but we were enslaved, forced to leave our beloved Africa and pick you damn cotton". Don't get me wrong here, slavery was bad and a difinete injustice, but I think it is time to get over it.
If you look at it, every nationality, ethnicitiy and religion has been the victim at some point in time and equally so lets all get over it and move on.
