Moroccan wins Iran Holocaust cartoon contest

[oberliner]

TEHRAN, Iran - Ignoring widespread condemnation, Iran awarded a Moroccan artist Wednesday the top prize in an exhibition of cartoons on the Holocaust.

Meant to be a response to the Danish cartoons of Islam’s Prophet Muhammad that sparked rage among Muslims around the world, the exhibit appears inspired by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s tirades calling for Israel to be destroyed.

Tehran has several times announced plans to host a conference to examine the scientific evidence supporting the Holocaust, dismissing it as exaggerated.
