This guy's crazy! He's having a conference to Review the Holocaust". Huh!?
"The International Conference to Review the Global Vision of the Holocaust was opened on December 11, 2006 in Tehran, Iran, by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to question the scale of the Holocaust that occurred during World War II (1939–1945). The Iranian Foreign Minister said in his remarks opening the conference that it "seeks neither to deny nor prove the Holocaust. It is just to provide an appropriate scientific atmosphere for scholars to offer their opinions in freedom about a historical issue."
The conference provoked world-wide controversy, and its merits were debated both inside and outside of Iran. Conference attendees included former Ku Klux Klan Imperial Wizard and white nationalist ideologue David Duke, French academic Robert Faurisson, rabbi Moshe Aryeh Friedman, leader of the Jewish Orthodox Anti-Zionist Society of Austria and Holocaust denier Fredrick Töben of Australia. Khaled Kasab Mahameed, who was invited to the conference and intended to affirm the occurrence of the Holocaust, was denied an Iranian visa due to his Israeli passport.
...
"Duke gave a speech in which he said: "In Europe you can freely question, ridicule and deny Jesus Christ." "The same is true for the prophet Muhammad, and nothing will happen to you. But offer a single question of the smallest part of the Holocaust and you face prison."
Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki declared in a speech that: "If the official version of the Holocaust is thrown into doubt, then the identity and nature of Israel will be thrown into doubt. And if, during this review, it is proved that the Holocaust was a historical reality, then what is the reason for the Muslim people of the region and the Palestinians having to pay the cost of the Nazis' crimes?"
Frederick Töben told the conference: "Minds are being switched off to the Holocaust dogma as it is being sold as a historical fact and yet we are not able to question it. This is mental rape."
Cohen told the conference
"There is no doubt whatsoever, that during World War II there developed a terrible and catastrophic policy and action of genocide perpetrated by Nazi Germany against the Jewish People, confirmed by innumerable eyewitness survivors and fully documented again and again. I personally was spared the worst effects of the War because I was living in England which thankfully was not occupied by Nazi Germany. However, I and many many others lost countless friends and relatives who perished under the Nazi rule by intentional murder and genocide. Three million Jews in Poland, more than half a million in Hungary, many tens or hundreds of thousands in Russia, Slovakia, France, Belgium, Holland and more. The figure of six million is regularly quoted. One may wish to dispute this actual figure, but the crime was just as dreadful whether the millions (and there were millions) of victims numbered six million, five million or four million. The method of murder is also irrelevant, whether it was by gas chamber (and there were eyewitnesses to this), firing squads or whatever. The evil was the same. It would be a terrible affront to the memory of those who perished to belittle the guilt of the crime in any way."
On the second day of the conference, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad predicted the destruction of Israel once again, saying that, "The Zionist regime will be wiped out soon the same way the Soviet Union was, and humanity will achieve freedom".
...
"According to the New York Times, the "German government summoned the Iranian chargé d’affaires in Berlin to complain." Germany also organized a counter-conference.
"The French Foreign Minister, Philippe Douste-Blazy, warned that the conference would be strongly condemned if it propagated claims denying the Holocaust."
Ehud Olmert, the prime minister of Israel, "denounced the conference before embarking on a two-day trip to Germany" calling the gathering "a sick phenomenon that shows the depths of hatred of the fundamentalist Iranian regime." Tzipi Livni, the Israeli Foreign Minister, "commented on the Holocaust conference at a Knesset meeting ... and said, 'I didn’t come to this meeting to argue with the evil one from Tehran and his allies. He can’t erase the pain of the survivors.'
The United States condemned the conference; the U.S. State Department described the Iranian event as "yet another disgraceful act on this particular subject by the regime in Tehran". "It is just flabbergasting that they continue -- that the leadership of that regime continues to deny that six million-plus people were killed in the Holocaust," spokesman Sean McCormack said.The Simon Wiesenthal Center in Los Angeles planned to hold a teleconference during the same period as the Iranian conference which would focus on individual stories from Holocaust survivors.
Tony Blair, the prime minister of the United Kingdom, denounced the conference as "shocking beyond belief". Blair also said that it was "a symbol of sectarianism and hatred toward people of another religion. I mean, to go and invite the former head of the Ku Klux Klan to a conference in Tehran which disputes the millions of people who died in the Holocaust … what further evidence do you need that this regime is extreme?"
Karel De Gucht, the Belgian minister of Foreign affairs said he "condemned the revisionistic and negationistic expressions (of Iran) and the repeated questioning of the right to exist for the state of Israel".
Canadian Minister of Foreign affairs Peter MacKay said that the conference was "an outrage. It was an insult to Holocaust victims. It was an insult to their descendants. Canada's new government and I am sure many others in this House and around the globe condemn this conference, just as we have previously condemned the Iranian president's comments about the Holocaust as hateful."
However, Ali Akbar Mohtashamipour, Secretary-General of the International Congress to Support Palestinian Intifada gave support to the conference, and said that the "western and Zionist media have always been aggrandizing the dimensions of the reality of Holocaust, mixing a bit of truth with a great deal of lies."
This all comes from wikipedia.
Maybe this is why Western Society sees Muslims as anti-Jewish? This, in my opinion, is a disgrace. You deny the brutal mass genocide of 6 million Jews (who are People of the Book)?
What do you think?
