I think the reason for the cartoon is rather ridiculous, and making a contest to see who would the be best at making fun of the Holocaust is downright retarded.
However, I'm not sure as to where I stand on the Western countries' response. I myself think it's intentionally hurtful towards those that are victims of the holocaust, either directly or indirectly. But it's true that if they defended the Danish cartoon's right to be published based on free speech, then anything is fair game.
What I admire is the "Israeli Anti-Semitic Cartoon Contest," which I think is the right way to go. If anyone's able to take off some of the tension, it's the "victims" themselves, and I applaud their gesture and spirit.
