It neither surprises nor shocks me when a Moslem claims Holocast Denial and Antisemitism are not sins.

Keep setting up these straw men, and I'll keep knocking them down.

First, have you actually read my post? It clearly says that I believe that upwards of 6 million Jews were killed by the Nazis. And while you're re-reading, could you kindly point out where I said that anti-semitism (a form of racial hatred)is not a sin? Racial hatred or the mere sense of racial superiority is directly condemned by God.

As I said before, to any rational mind, Holocaust denial or revisionism is: "idiocy, or dangerous idiocy". But being in error is not the same as sin. Only if it were a conscious and deliberate decision to minimize the Holocaust becuase of malice toward the Jews-- only then would it rise to the level of sin.

Are there people who meet that standard? Sure. Is Hutton Gibson one of them? I don't think so.

In any case, does it really matter whether 4,5, or 6 million Jews were systematically murdered by the Nazis. Does it make the Nazis any less evil?

You state: I am not your bro

I apologize. I was under the mistaken impression that the sons and daughters of Adam were brothers and sisters. Would you prefer Cousin, then?

We do not read this from the same book.

It does not make the Nazis any less evil. Holocause Denial and Revisionism is used to try to make the Nazis appear less evil. If Mel Gibson were making a movie about it he would show the adversary involved in it plotting a sequel to the Holocaust.

You need not apologize. I do not accept the premises of Islam. If you are a friend to Israel and the Jewish people I will call you sadiqi. It would be more natural than Ibn Am or Ibn Hal.

Are you such a friend ?
