Egyptian newspaper mocks racial and gender equality in the west

Another cartoon has surfaced that could be considered intolerant and
insensitive to a culture's values. But this time, the offenders are of
Middle Eastern origin, mocking the racial and gender equality of the
West.

The Egyptian publication Al-Ahram recently posted a cartoon titled
"'Hillary' and 'Obama' - A Woman and a Negro are Participating in the
Campaign for the American Presidency". The caption said "This is
another sign of the collapse of the Western civilization'."

Now let's see how the "American Street" responds to this blatant hate
speech. I suspect it will be considerably less coverage than a recent
cartoon in Denmark.

Having seen the cartoon in question, I think it is lampooning the
bigotry of Islamic Fundies. But I might be wrong.

It wasn't the Danish cartoons that got all the coverage here. It was
the Muslim reaction that got it. All people need to get their skins
thickened with regard to their over-sensitivities. In that regard,
Richard Dawkins and Sam Harris are absolutely right. Religion,
culture, class position, political affiliation are all open to debate
and criticism.

define 'debate'

'you're a raving nut case'...is that 'debate'?

The least you could do is FIND the cartoons and POST the url here. Has
anyone told you that your propaganda service sucks. I can find any
number of Mumbai-based services that would do the job more effectively
than you for one fifth of the price.

So we have to go and look for the alleged cartoon ourselves.

Nowhere to be found so you're probably making it up. Trust the religious
far-right to find an oblique way to remind us and a "woman" and a
"negro" whilst attributing the 'racist' comment to someone else. Was the
'cartoon' an Ad? Cartoon-in-Khartoum? Hahahaha.

Anyway, al-Ahram has the gall to point out what an incompetent idiot
Bush is with this article about "Mission Accomplished".

Yeah. They all point to MEMRI, which is a propaganda site run out of Tel
Aviv.

What is propaganda coming to these days? Maybe the CIA read about
Saddam's WMD in MEMRI. ROTFL.

You people are about as thick as it gets. I can key some **** into a
MEMRI blog and next thing it gets reported all over the usual right-wing
religious fruitcake sites. Before long the CIA picks it up and it lands
on Bush's desk as "intelligence". Next thing, Egypt will 'need
democracy' and my shares in Raytheon will jump again. All good - I can
control the world from a blog!

Stupid white men believing your own propaganda. Thank goodness for the
Egyptians they don't have any oil.

Please show the original cartoon on Al-Ahram. Key this into Google:
"site:ahram.org.eg"

It's simply not there 'cos Memri invented it.

It's a cartoon and you seem to have interpreted it as an editorial.
The way the Imam is drawn contrasts with the friendly look of the
candidates so perhaps you feel that the Egyptians should ban the
cartoon because it is disrespectful of their religious leaders. To
save others a search here is a reproduction of the cartoon

Who said that it does? Who's calling whom a nut case? Neither Harris
nor Dawkins have done so.
