Cartoon row sparks anti-Jewish backlash
By The Associated Press

Last Update: 06/02/2006 09:23


A Belgian-Dutch Islamic political organization posted anti-Jewish cartoons on its Web site in response to the cartoons of the prophet Mohammed that appeared in Danish papers last year and offended many Muslims.

The cartoons were posted on the Arab European League?s site on Saturday. It was not working yesterday morning because of exceeded bandwidth.

The site carried a disclaimer saying the images were being shown as part of an exercise in free speech rather than to endorse their content - just as European newspapers have reprinted the Danish cartoons.

One of the AEL cartoons displayed an image of Anne Frank in bed with Adolf Hitler, and another questioned whether the Holocaust actually occurred.

Dyab Abou Jahjah, the party?s founder and best-known figure, defended the action on the Dutch television program Nova Saturday.
?Europe has its sacred cows, even if they're not religious sacred cows,? he told the program.
Yesterday, the Netherlands' Center for Information and Documentation
Israel said it had filed a formal complaint in Amsterdam about the AEL cartoons.
Their publication is "a nightmare for the thousands of Jewish victims of the Holocaust who are still alive," center director Ronny Naftaniel said in a statement, adding that it was bizarre to retaliate against Jews for the Mohammed cartoons.

The AEL espouses nonviolence, but has gained a reputation for extremist views and opposes Muslims integrating with non-Muslims.
