| Senior Iran cleric sez Holocaust is a myth |
| 2005-12-24 |
| "Holocaust is a fabricated myth of the Zionists in a bid to push forth their evil intentions," said a senior Iranian cleric on Friday. Ayatollah Mohyeddin Ha"Assumed massacre of six million Jews in Germany after imposing hard labor against them in concentration camps, known as Holocaust, is a sheer historic lie," said Supreme Leader's representative in Fars Province and Friday Prayer leader of Shiraz Ayatollah Mohyeddin Ha'eri Shirazi in an address to large groups of Friday prayers worshipers. According to Irna, Shirazi said "They have now devised an international law based on which no one is allowed to raise doubts against the authenticity of that fabricated story, and made such practice punishable by imprisonment." The leader's representative reiterated, "The President of Islamic Republic of Iran called Holocaust a myth quite righteously recently, but if in Europe swearing at God and messengers of Allah is a common practice and considered freedom of expression, why is expressing doubt against Holocaust a punishable crime there?" |

| #4 Mike- No argument there. It seems to me they are doing this to prep their people for a war, just like the Nazis did. They are now forming an alliance with Hamas and Hizbullah, building their own coalition. The Iranians are waiting for what they think is the right time to strike. My guess is as soon as we go into retrograde in Iraq. We will be at our most vulnerable state then, just as the Dems want it, sorry couldn’t resist the jab at the Dems. I think they will hit both the US troops and Israel. What they are underestimating is our ability to turn the place into a glass plate. If they think we wont do it they are in for a surprise. As a matter of fact I think there would be a line of folks that would love to push that button on Tehran. |

| #3 Well you know what happens when you Ha"Assumed ....you make an ass out of ...well, just yourself. I'm thinking the survivors of the blowback when the clerics actually attack Israel will look back on these stupid statements and say "what were we thinking, letting these fools run the nation into a smoking hole?" |

| #2 ...And don't forget either that one of the things the Nazis did to make the Holocaust more tolerable to their own people was to dehumanize and demonize the Jews. The Holocaust denying of the last month or so is our final warning. They are getting ready to strike with their own Final Solution, and we are ignoring it. Mike |

| #1 We get all spun up emotional about this type of statement. It's typical propaganda aimed at their people in an attempt to discredit their enemy, us, and increase their own credibility. This is not unlike Japan's history books rewritten showing them as nonagressors and omitting their war crimes of WWII. |
