Muslim spokesmen resent the way non-Muslims argue they cannot dilute press freedoms just for one religion but make an exception for Jews.Don't you like that "even"? This comparison of the Jyllands-Posten cartoons to Holocaust denial is occurring constantly in Muslim statements about the cartoons. Holocaust denial, just to state the obvious, is held to be outrageous, not because it offends Jews, but because it is an insane claim invented by neo-Fascists and used to deceive the historically illiterate.
"Why do they say that Muslims have no right to condemn the publishing of those cartoons, when they fight tooth and nail against those who even talk negatively about the Holocaust?" asked Sheikh Hussain Halawa, secretary general of the European Council for Fatwa and Research.
