The Initiative Honestly Concerned Publishes 82 Exposing Caricatures From The Biggest Iranian Daily Kayhan A few months ago, the Danish Mohammad-caricatures caused major propaganda uproar and stirred up a lot of anger within the Islamic world. According to Hasan Rahimpour Azghadi, member of High Council for Cultural Revolution, there were up to 200 fatalities in Iran alone, during protests against the alleged insults to Islam. Likewise, cartoons play a special role in the propaganda machinery of the Iranian regime. Translated into dozens of languages, caricatures are used by spiritual arsonists, as a tool to infuriate the flames of hatred and violence - not only among their own people, but also in other countries. For 28 years, the messages originating from the Khomeini dictatorship have been spread in this way have stirred up hatred especially against Jews, Israelis and Americans. Jews and Israelis are portrayed as rats, sadists, child murderers and destroyers of Islam. The Zionists are portrayed as vicious entities, who are trying to break the Muslim community apart and who are striving for control the economy for control of the world. The denial of the Holocaust is equally common. The president said in the Qods conference: There has been a holocaust in Palestine for over 60 years. Kayhan, 17.4.2006, http://www.kayhannews.ir/850128/3.htm The following documentation of 82 recent caricatures which were all published in the biggest Iranian Daily Kayhan shall serve as an illustration of how a regime can abuse its powers to poison its own people and beyond. While the world has looked on unresponsively, the Iranian regime has continued to force-feed its population with despicable hatred. ( Kayhan is close to the religious leader of Iran, Ayatollah Khamenei, and is an instrument of the daily state propaganda of Iran.) The message of these cartoons is not at all harmless. The caricatures are part of the Islamist hate propaganda of the Iranian regime, which, apart from the denial of the Holocaust, wants to wipe Israel off the map, calls for the extermination of Jews, finances terror, works on building up a nuclear threat und threatens the entire civilized Western world. This regime means what it publishes and it what it says. All that Western governments have to do is to look and listen closely. The unmistakable message coming from Iran must be taken seriously. www.honestly-concerned.org info@honestly-concerned.org Phone +49-172/6797744 Fax +49-721/151433263
