Someone post that picture of the Mufti of Jersusalem meeting with Nazi brass.

''The very name Holocaust Memorial Day sounds too exclusive to many young Muslims. It sends out the wrong signals: that the lives of one people are to be remembered more than others."

That ''one people," of course, are the Jews.

If it's not about Muslims, there is no value to anything. Muslims are the most self centered group in history.

''Genocide Memorial Day" that will also include such crimes as the slaughter of the Tutsis in Rwanda and the massacres of Bosnian Muslims by the Milosevic regime.

How about the genocide of Armenians by Muslim Turks of the Ottoman Empire? Anyone? Anyone?

[End Times Sentinel]

and the massacres of Bosnian Muslims by the Milosevic regime.

Yeah, even though those "massacres" were almost exclusively of men of fighting age, wearing fatigues, in villages where a lot of guns were laying around.  That's a lot like women, children, and the elderly along with men being dragged off to death camps and shot or gassed, or worse.

Anyways, the Holocaust never happened.  That's what Mahmoud Abbas told me.

A very subtle article.

"...4,000 Palestinians have been killed since the renewel of violence 5 years ago. Some of these dead were completely innocent victims; others were fighters, violent protesters, or suicide bombers. (Nearly 1,000 Israelis have died as well.)"

Implication? Israel purposely killed 4,000 innocent Palestinians. Better yet, the 1,000 Israelis that have been killed were not innocent and only rate a mention in paranthesis.

It was the first, and so far the only time that, as Cornell University historian Stephen Katz put it in his 1994 book ''The Holocaust in Historical Context," that ''a state set out, as a matter of intentional principle and actualized policy, to annihilate physically every man, woman, and child belonging to a specific people."

I don't think so. The Khmer Rouge specifically went after those of Vietnamese descent.

The Nazis used any religion to further their power. For example, the Nazis raised two Muslim Waffen SS Divisions during the war. These were the only true "religious" SS Division the Nazis ever created (and it is safe to say that the Germany was not a Muslim nation). Himmler was fascinated by the thought of Muslims to be fearless soldiers willing to kill for their religion. One of these Muslim Waffen SS divisions (The Hanjer Division) was responsible for the murder of over 90 percent of the Yugoslavian Jewish population.

The last paragraph is pathetic- all these MOOsLIME groups and their leaders and their press are anti-semetic---but that doesn't mean all moooslimes are. No I'm sure theres a plumber in Jakarta who's indifferent on the subject.

I have no problem with a Genocide day instead of a Holocaust day. However, the Muslims would be shown largely as perpetrators, not victims.

[BamaGirl]

A small thing I noticed while reading the article -- their clerics make "claims" this or that happened; while we write books to prove our thesis.

I also can't believe MSM actually admits some of the nasty things Muslims says about Jews (pigs and monkeys, etc.) and how widespread it is.

[Old Seadog]

Moslems in the Nazi army.

[LIConFem]

Hmmm... I find the fact that a Muslim wants a "Genocide Memorial Day" very telling.

[WarEagle]

The infection of anti-Jewish bigotry is alarmingly widespread in the Muslim community today, not only in predominantly Muslim and Arab countries -- where the media routinely circulate anti-Semitic libels and conspiracy theories while preachers and editorialists compare Jews to pigs and monkeys -- but in Western democracies as well. Some apologists on the left blame this virulent hatred on the Israeli occupation of the territories.

Well, DUH.

For the loony left, the "occupation" is more an excuse than a reason. Islamists are anti-West and anti-Western civilization. So is the loony left.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

We can be comforted by one thing - if the Islamists win their dream of pan-Islam, the loony left will be the first ones to go.
