The world -- especially the Islamic world -- shows no such restraint when it
comes to Judaism. See, for instance

http://www.honestreporting.com/articles/45884734/critiques/Offensive_Cartoons.asp

The British Political Cartoon Society even awards such things awards as
"cartoon of the year." The Iranians are now running a competition for
Holocaust cartoons, and a Dutch-Muslim newspaper printed some cartoons, one
of Anne Frank literally in bed with Hitler, as their "response" to the
"offensive" cartoons. Where were all of you protesting these "offenses"?
