| Brotherhood chief: Holocaust a myth |
| 2005-12-23 |
| The head of the Muslim Brotherhood, the main opposition force in Egypt's parliament, has echoed Iran's president in describing the Holocaust as a myth. "Western democracy has attacked everyone who does not share the vision of the sons of Zion as far as the myth of the Holocaust is concerned," Mohamed Akef said in a statement on Thursday. Akef cited as evidence of Western intolerance the cases of Roger Garoudy, the writer who was convicted in France in 1998 of questioning the Holocaust, and David Irving, a British historian who faces similar charges in Austria next month. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the Iranian president, caused an international uproar when he said in a speech on 14 December that the Holocaust was a myth. Last week Mohamed Habib, the deputy leader of the Brotherhood, asked about Ahmadinejad's denial of the Holocaust, said reports of Nazi attempts to wipe out European Jews might have been exaggerated. "We don't have confirmed things to enable us to prove this matter or refute it," he said. "It needs documentation but what one can be sure of is that there were attacks on the Jews but not by means of gas chambers or perhaps not in these numbers or on this scale." But Habib said the debate was irrelevant to the situation of the Palestinians. "What the Jews propagate about there being a Holocaust has nothing to do with the way they treat the Palestinians on the land of Palestine," he said. Akef, whose group won 88 of the Egyptian parliament's 454 seats in elections in November and December, made his comment in an attack on the assertion by the US that it is promoting democracy in the Middle East. He said the US campaign was a cover for promoting its own interests and those of the Zionist movement in the region. "American democracy ... steers the world into the American orbit delineated by the sons of Zion, so that everyone must wear the Stars and Stripes hat and keep away from the Zionist foster child," he wrote in his weekly statement. |

| #11 Jihadis, Nazis -- same things in the craniums, just different cults. Ruthlessly wipe out the fanatics and their "foot soldiers" will melt away and the masses will adapt. We haven't crossed the tipping point yet, but Iran is about to change that. Iran with nukes is Hitler with nukes. |

| #8 ...gleefully thrust every single last Muslim into any oven, gas chamber, kiln, incinerator, wood chipper or garbage disposal at hand if that is what it takes to, for once and all, end any talk of genocide. Not so. If the world did that, it wouldn't be the civilized world. It would be the same kind of world that did it to the Jews, just doing it to somebody else. We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our Island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender, and even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this Island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our Empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British Fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in God's good time, the New World, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old."I'll do that, but I'll never become them. |

| #6 I'll say it here, and I'll say anywhere else I see this vile sort of horsesh!t, until all of you here tell me not to. Arab pursuit of genocide and denial of the Holocaust will bring about only one thing, namely, the Muslim holocaust. If Islam thinks that it will be able to rekindle the ovens and begin exterminating all the Jews, they will quickly find out that this world has had quite enough of such intolerable evil. Never again will the Jews go quietly and neither shall the infidels. Islam does not seem to realize that the non-Muslim world vastly outnumbers them and, if pressed, will gleefully thrust every single last Muslim into any oven, gas chamber, kiln, incinerator, wood chipper or garbage disposal at hand if that is what it takes to, for once and all, end any talk of genocide. This world has come too far to be plunged back into endless war. If Islam seeks an eternal battle over installation of universal sharia law, it is in for a surprise at just how brief that conflict will be. |

| #3 "It needs documentation but what one can be sure of is that there were attacks on the Jews but not by means of gas chambers or perhaps not in these numbers or on this scale." He's definately got a problem with reading and world history. The Holocaust is one of the most documented events in the history of the world. |

| #2 Now you ought to know that as far as Religion is concerned, the Truth is ignored. Remember the very old saying "Don't bother me with the facts, my mind is made up" |

| #1 I thought the Koran comming from God was a Myth. More of a Myth than the Holocaust could ever be. |
