Islamonazis ♥ Hitler

PARIS (AP) —Iran says it has protested to the Cannes Film Festival over its decision to ban director Lars von Trier for saying he sympathized with Adolf Hitler.

Iran’s semiofficial ISNA news agency says deputy culture minister Javad Shamaqdari wrote to festival president Gilles Jacob saying Cannes had smirched its history by expelling the director.

Cannes banished von Trier after he told reporters that while Hitler “did some wrong things,” he could “sympathize with him a little bit.”
