IRAN: HOLOCAUST CONFERENCE SOON IN TEHRAN













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.

Is Iran sending free tickets? Can anyone attend or to you have to be a revisionist? Sounds like a one-sided conference.

Assuming the Aki story is real and not some sort of provocation by the poster, I wish the Council of Churches and ADL would jointly hold an international conference in Washington to examine the historical ramifications of recent rumors to the effect that Mohammad was actually a Twinkie - a trans-sexual prostitute. Or would that be stooping too much to Tehran's level, namely the pig wallow?

May I respectfully suggest that the moderator delete this entire thread, since it has alsolutely nothing to do with anything. It is even too absurd for the Lounge, and that's saying something.

The information about the pending conference is of interest. The call of the question asks for opinions, however, and we don't permit opinion threads in this research section of the forum. For that reason, this thread is locked.
