The cartoon shows two apparently Jewish men standing near a pile of skeletons with a sign that says "Auswitch," presumably representing the largest Nazi concentration camp, Auschwitz.

One pokes a bone with a stick and says "I don't think they're Jews" and the other answers, "We have to get to the six million somehow."

Europe's "hate speech" laws are retarded. No one should fear people expressing an opinion.

That said I don't know if it's that hypocritical. There are a number of people in Europe charged with "anti-Islamic" speech as well.

So why is it hateful to suggest that Jewish suffering in WWII is exaggerated, again?

That's like asking "why is it unpopular to speak the truth?"

I don't see why it's hypocritical. Weren't the creators of the Mohammad cartoons charged with something?

No.

[BlackTerrel]

Not the Mohammed cartoons because they said that it mocked Mohammed, not the people who follow the religion. But there have been a number of people charged with insulting Islam (not the actual name of the charge) in various European countries.
