A global cartoon competition based on the theme of Holocaust denial was announced in Iran on Thursday, the official news agency Fars reported. The contest is in response to the Charlie Hebdo magazine cover that featured a drawing of the Prophet Muhammad. All cartoons must be submitted by April Fools' Day because "April 1 is the day of big lies, and the Holocaust is a big lie that the Zionists invented to suppress the Palestinians," said Masoud Shojaei-Tabatabaii, head of House of Cartoons and one of the competition's organizers.
