Tehran, 5 Jan. (AKI) - Iran has decided to rewrite and revise the history of the Holocaust. Following the repeated declarations by the Iranian president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, and other senior government officials on the need to re-examine the history of the genocide of the Jews during the Second World War, the association of Islamic Journalists of Iran has been tasked with quickly putting together an international conference on the Holocaust.
"President Ahmadinejad has placed at the centre of international attention, a very important question on the truthfulness of the version that Europe and the Zionists have imposed on the world on the murder of Jews during the years of the great war, and therefore we are of the opinion that it is useful and necessary to organise an international conference on that theme, where all the historians and researchers, even those that do not believe in the official version, will be able to express themselves freely," Mehdi Afzali, spokesperson of the Association of Islamic Journalists told Adnkronos International (AKI).
"We want to offer a free and democratic platform to the historians to examine in-depth this myth, seeing that in different European countries there exist laws against democracy and freedom that to do not allow intellectuals who believe in a version distinct from that which is officially pronounced on the Holocaust," added Afzali.
"We will invite those who believe in the imposed version as well as all those who have spent years of their lives in the study of documents related to the Holocaust and have come to the conclusion that the history books in schools and universities do not correspond to the truth," said Afzali, who however refused to supply the names of the revisionist historians who have been contacted to appear in the conference in Tehran. Revisionists are those who deny that the Holocaust ever happened.
In Iran, books by the English historian, David Irving, currently in custody in an Austrian jail after having been accused of denying the Holocaust, are very popular.
Among the names of possible guests at the conference are the Israeli journalist lsrael Shamir, a convert to Christianity, and Horst Mahler from Germany, a former member of the the terrorist group, the Red Army Faction. Other revisionist scholars, such as the French Robert Faurisson and the American Arthur Butz, are also some of the other possible participants of the conference in Tehran.
I hear Art Bell will have some folks doing some remote viewing of this event for the SciFi Channel. /sarcasm
Could this world possibly be any more screwed up? Those who argue mankind is a defective species have a lot of ammunition these days. Most of it in the Muslim world.
Sounds like a great target for a couple of JDAMS
He was imaginary character created by the Masons.
The Rothchilds built William Tecumseh Sherman in their Alpine laboratory.
I got a lot of flack in a post for saying Iran was filled with crazies. I rest my case.
Because militant Islam was, is and forever will be a murderous cult.
A belief system that REQUIRES compliance or suffer death or enslavement.
Murderers simply murder, and deny that murder occurred...
Semper Fi
Hmmm...What if Israel decided to have a conference in Tel Aviv to explore the thesis that Mohammed was a delusional giggilo/phedophile? I bet you'd here a lot of outrage then.
Maybe Spielberg could do the movie considering the revisionism he did for Munich.
The discussion in Tehran will deny "The original Holocaust" and discuss how to bring about Holocaust II.
Semper Fi
Anyone who wants to prove the holocaust occured and wants to go to this conference is crazy. It's a hostage situation waiting to happen. I hope no one falls for this ploy
