So, it now appears that while Islam must have vengeance upon bad cartoonists for the irrevocable harm they have done to the religion, drug dealing is absolutely fine.

And Iran is responding in style by satirising the Holocaust. Not sure how one does this, but given the historiographical progress of the camps into the status of sacred cow (yeah, I know…) and never-to-be-questioned myth, this is probably not before time. Just hope they’re actually funny and avoid the stereotypes of the muslim cartoons, but rather doubt it. Given the latter were full of hook nosed individuals, Iran could even use the same images.
