A more mature response to cartoons
A group of Israeli cartoonists have decided to respond to the Iranian newspapers campaign to publish anti-semitic cartoons by holding their own anti-semitic cartoon competition.

Now that's an interesting response, imagine, a religion mature enough that it can mock itself and respond to hate with maturity. No riots, bombings, arson, or killing here, they're going to beat the Iranians to the punch and show the bigots that words can't hurt them. If you ask me this is Judaism 1, Islam 0.

To further infuriate the Muslims and make sure this stupid fight never dies, an Italian minister has announced he will distribute t-shirts featuring the Mohammed cartoons.

Now, rather than burning down the Italian embassy I think the Muslims angered by this move should consider instead having their own t-shirt competition to mock Berlusconi, perhaps featuring a photo of him saying, "I'm Like Jesus!" while he receives a bribe from some mafioso.

**Update**
Along with Mohammed, the Iranian Football Team is now sacrosanct as well. I shit you not, Iranians are now protesting over a negative depiction of their football team. Talk about screwed up priorities, now they're ransacking buildings over football? Soon they'll end up being negatively compared to British hooligans.
