"Man! Where the denial of Holocaust here?"

I know you did not mean to, but the Holocaust had a certain unique terribleness. When you compare lesser events that are quite different you are distorting history in one of two ways - you are either elevating the lesser event (Chechnya) or minimizing the greater event (Holocaust). Sudan would be a more apt current example. Stalin would be an apt historic comparison.

In Chechnya the population had involvement in the events that befell them, even if you think the ensuing Russian response is disproportionate. In addition I wonder about the numbers. I must say Muslims have not impressed me with their historic veracity. They often cry victim when they are being repaid for their aggression. Such were the problems with the revision of the Serbian Bosnian conflict.

Check out this article that explains Holocaust revision through ludicrous comparison. Goldberg is excellent. The left uses the Holocaust example at every turn, as an epithet and as a defense for Muslim appeasement lest the specter of Islamaphobia give rise to a new wave of the dreaded European Nationalism.

The simple fact that 200,000+ Chechens live peacefully in Moscow shows Vox_PL to be the pro-Islamic appologist that he is. We have quite a few like him in Congress.
