KKK's Duke is guest at Holocaust 'debate'
 Simply everyone was there, dahling.TEHRAN, IRAN Iran held a gathering that included Holocaust deniers, discredited scholars and white supremacists from around the world on Monday under the guise of a conference to "debate" the Nazi slaughter of 6 million Jews. The Flat World morons are more credible. Among those representing the United States was the former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke, whose prepared remarks, issued by the Iranian Foreign Ministry, said the gas chambers in which millions perished actually did not exist. Robert Faurisson, an academic from France, said in his speech that the Holocaust was a myth created to justify the occupation of Palestine, meaning the creation of Israel. This is what Iran's president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, has frequently claimed, and it was Ahmadinejad's statements that inspired the foreign ministry to hold the conference. The ministry said 67 people from 30 countries were participating in the two days of meetings. In a welcoming speech, Rasoul Mousavi, head of the Foreign Ministry's Institute for Political and International Studies, said the session would provide an opportunity to discuss the Holocaust "away from Western taboos and the restriction imposed on them in Europe." In several European countries, denial of the Holocaust is a crime. Speakers at the conference praised Ahmadinejad's comments about the Holocaust. Finally, a "world leader" who understands us! Bendikt Frings, 48, a psychologist from Germany, said he believed Ahmadinejad was "an honest, direct man." He said he had come to the conference to thank the president for what he initiated. "We are forbidden to have such a conference in Germany," he said. "All my childhood, we waited for something like this." Frederick Toben, from Australia, said Ahmadinejad had opened an issue "which is morally and intellectually crippling the Western society. People are imprisoned in Germany for denying the Holocaust," he added. Duke argued that inventions about what happened to Europe's Jews were part of a plot. He said, "Depicting Jews as the overwhelming victims of the Holocaust gave the moral high ground to the Allies as victors of the war and allowed Jews to establish a state on the occupied land of Palestine." The event has sparked outrage in the West. I'm sparked. Outraged? No, I expect no more from the Bottom-Feeders. Germany summoned the Iranian chargé d'affaire to express its anger, and the French foreign minister, Philippe Douste-Blazy, has condemned the conference. Posted by: .com 2006-12-12 |
