Iran's Holocaust Conference


Over past few days I have debated whether or not to discuss the summit that is being held in Iran. Earlier in the day I decided not to blog about it because of my strong bias towards the issue but now as more news came from the conference I decided I had no choice.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is a man who MUST be feared by the world. His continuous calls for the destruction of Israel must not be taken lightly but seriously. His disbelief of the Holocaust is insane. He has called it a "fabrication" by Zionist and the West. I would like to tell Ahmadinejad that the Nazi's kept strigent records of who they killed. 6,000,000 Jews died in the Holocaust and now we are allowing a man to use the Jews as scapegoats just as Hitler did in the years leading up to WWII. He is a man who must be stopped.

The Vatican, Germany and the European Commission added their voices Tuesday to others -- such as the United States and Israel -- who have condemned the Tehran meeting. Iran says that this is a conference to allow "researchers" to speak freely on an issue which is punishable by law in some countries.

Ahmadinejad said early "Here you can express your views and exchange opinions in a friendly, brotherly and free atmosphere." Human rights groups frequently number Iran as one of the world's worst violators of free speech, where scores of newspapers have been closed, journalists jailed, access to Web sites blocked and government critics hounded out of the country.
