Please avoid framing the question as whether "the Holocaust happened" or not. No noteworthy historical revisionist I've ever heard of is denying that Jews were put in concentration camps - like the Japanese were in America, a major difference being that America wasn't being invaded from both sides and suffering from massive food & fuel shortages and disease epidemics.

The questions that are up for debate are:

(1) Should this debate even be allowed in the first place, or should people questioning or even probing deeper into the history of the Holocaust be jailed as Holocaust Deniers, as they are in some European countries?

(2) What were the intentions of the German government in putting the Jews (and other groups) in concentration camps? Was it their original intention to kill them all? Did they offer them as bargaining chips in negotiations with the Allies?

(3) How many Jews died and of what cause - how many were gassed alive in the camps, and how many died of disease, hunger, Allied bombing, were killed outside the camps, etc. Will the "Hitler killed 6 million Jews" claim stand an unbiased historical analysis?

(4) Did the victorious Allies, especially the Soviet Union, take any liberties with truth in propagandizing the Holocaust to the world? It is known that some initial claims (an eight-digit figure of dead Jews, human soap and leather, etc) had to be withdrawn in light of new evidence, and it was revealed that at least some Soviet and independent Polish massacres were blamed on the Germans. Given the history of "antisemitism" in Russia / Ukraine / Belarus / Poland (ex the Kielce pogrom in 1946), could those revelations be a tip of a much bigger iceberg?

Holocaust denial is the claim that the genocide of Jews during World War II—usually referred to as the Holocaust[1]—did not occur in the manner or to the extent described by current scholarship.

Key elements of this claim are the rejection of any of the following: that the Nazi government had a policy of deliberately targeting Jews and people of Jewish ancestry for extermination as a people; that between five and seven million Jews[1] were systematically killed by the Nazis and their allies; and that genocide was carried out at extermination camps using tools of mass murder, such as gas chambers.[2][3]

Holocaust deniers do not accept the term "denial" as an appropriate description of their point of view, and use the term Holocaust revisionism instead.[4] Scholars, however, prefer the term "denial" to differentiate Holocaust deniers from historical revisionists, who use established historical methodologies.[5]

Holocaust denial claims imply, or openly state, that the Holocaust is a hoax arising out of a deliberate Jewish conspiracy to advance the interest of Jews at the expense of other peoples.[6] For this reason, Holocaust denial is generally considered to be an antisemitic[7] conspiracy theory.[8] The methodologies of Holocaust deniers are criticized as based on a predetermined conclusion that ignores extensive historical evidence to the contrary.[9]

However, it must be noted that some people have been improperly labeled "Holocaust deniers" because they reject the religious connotation associated with the term Holocaust. Some people may be improperly labeled "Holocaust deniers" when in fact they do not deny the murder of innocent people, but instead reject the name given to the act. The term holocaust originally derived from the Greek word holókauston, meaning a "completely (holos) burnt (kaustos)" sacrificial offering to a god. The majority of scholars define the Holocaust as a genocide of European Jewry alone and do not include the mass murders of other groups as part of the "holocaust".

I think any time you have that many countries vying for reasons to demand war reparations, you're going to have some exaggerations. But i don’t see that disproving a few exaggerations is going to disprove the whole holocaust.

I don’t think anyone should be labeled anything, without their specific consent, for their beliefs. Whether they are erroneous or otherwise.

Upon a closer historical investigation, I have personally witnessed evidence of at least 6,000,000 people being deliberately exterminated by the Nazis.  I also saw video of Hitler saying: "Don't let a single Jew leave, no matter how much they pay us."  I now consider this matter closed.

(1) Should this debate even be allowed in the first place, or should people questioning or even probing deeper into the history of the Holocaust be jailed as Holocaust Deniers, as they are in some European countries?

No one should be put in jail for doing something that causes no harm to anyone else. Period.

This "debate" however, is not one, the Holocaust is one of the most researched events in human history and no reasonable person can even claim to have evidence refuting it because there is none. And when people ignore you, or call you crazy because you want to discuss this with them its because you have not gone through the effort of checking on the evidence yourself . The rest of us are not here to bring you out of your willful ignorance. We ignore you in the same way people ignore the homeless. One, because we know we can't do anything to really help you, and Two, because you should be helping yourself.

(2) What were the intentions of the German government in putting the Jews (and other groups) in concentration camps? Was it their original intention to kill them all? Did they offer them as bargaining chips in negotiations with the Allies?

The german government and the german people were generally not aware of the lengths the nazi leadership would go to at first. However as the system progressed almost every arm of the state and even regular societal institutions such as churches became complicit. As for direct planning yes, there are numerous sources quoting hitler as talking about it specifically and the upper leadership deliberately putting the death state together. Ovens don't pop up out of nowhere.

(3) How many Jews died and of what cause - how many were gassed alive in the camps, and how many died of disease, hunger, Allied bombing, were killed outside the camps, etc. Will the "Hitler killed 6 million Jews" claim stand an unbiased historical analysis?

It is hard to estimate how many people were killed because of the chaos of the war, the intentional coverup, and other factors. The 6 million number is a good guess that will unfortunately never be able to be completely verified. The death camps were used to kill around 3 million people, mobile death squads known as Einsatzgruppen roamed the eastern territories and killed hundreds of thousands. Victims were forced into ghettos where they died from disease and malnutrition. Medical experiments were performed on various groups. Many victims worked themselves to death in labor camps as well. These events are irrefutable.

(4) Did the victorious Allies, especially the Soviet Union, take any liberties with truth in propagandizing the Holocaust to the world? It is known that some initial claims (an eight-digit figure of dead Jews, human soap and leather, etc) had to be withdrawn in light of new evidence, and it was revealed that at least some Soviet and independent Polish massacres were blamed on the Germans. Given the history of "antisemitism" in Russia / Ukraine / Belarus / Poland (ex the Kielce pogrom in 1946), could those revelations be a tip of a much bigger iceberg?

Not really. What new evidence are you talking about? There has been a huge influx of new documents to study since the fall of the Soviet Union but the fundamentals of the holocaust have not changed because it happened as the historical record shows. Just because one massacre was committed by the Soviets instead of the Germans does not mean the Holocaust never happened.

I don't think anything is irrefutable. Saying anything contrary is a pretty dogmatic thing to say.0

Someone used the analogy that it's tyranny to be disallowed to say 2+2=4

I submit to you that it's tyranny to disallow someone to say 2+2=22

Sometimes things really are just coincidences. Hitler said blah blah blah etc. besides the fact that that's all circumstantial hear-say :) there are dozens of explanations for everything you submitted as “irrefutable evidence.”

You got the black plague rolling around and all your penicillin distilleries keep getting bombed.... what else can you do?

I don't think anyone is saying anyone is innocent here, but the motivations that’d be at work to vie for reparations would surly have twisted a few facts.

To say that no one has the right to reinvestigate or they would be a person of one of your favorite negatively charged intensives, is utter ludicrous.

"let his name be erased from history", there's clearly something wrong here.

http://www.rense.com/general85/mahl.htm

Quote
MUNICH - German dissident Horst Mahler has been sentenced to six years in prison for "Volksverhetzung" (racial incitement). The symbolically significant number of years imposed for "anti- Semitic hate speech" stemmed from his refusal to recognize the Jewish Holocaust®, which he described as "the biggest lie in world history."

FACING LIFELONG IMPRISONMENT-Dissident Horst Mahler is seen here with his wife Sylvia Stolz, currently in prison for defending other dissidents.
 
 
The 73-year-old defendant was accused, among other things, of repeated dissemination of his views on the Internet as well as distribution of a revisionist videotape and a CD and book by Holo-skeptic Germar Rudolf, now serving time for "Holocaust® denial" in a German prison.
 
Immediately following sentencing, the 73-year-old dissident was arrested and led away before astonished onlookers in the courtroom, including many of his supporters.
 
The former attorney for the rightwing National Democratic Party (NPD) successfully represented that organization when the German regime tried to have it banned in the 1990s. He earlier received prison sentences for thought-crimes on several occasions.
 
'I have resolved to call a lie a lie'
 
In his concluding remarks before the court, Mahler noted that with another case pending against him he faces a total of over 12 years in prison - the equivalent of a life sentence, given his advanced age. He would, however, stand by his views.
 
In setting a personal example, Mahler declared that it was incumbent upon every German to "deal a deathblow to the Holocaust® religion as martyrs for the truth."
 
The dissident defendant concluded by saying:
 
"I have resolved to expose this Talmudic perfidy, that over and over again I will call a lie a lie and oppose it with the truth. I have sworn to my people never to give up in this fight against the Holocaust® religion."

Mahler sentenced, transferred for new trial

February 26, 2009

BERLIN (JTA) -- Recidivist hate purveyor Horst Mahler, sentenced yesterday to six years in prison for hate crimes in a Munich court, is facing another trial.

Mahler, 73, was found guilty on Feb. 25 of incitement of hate for posting Holocaust denial material on the Internet and distributing anti-Semitic CDs calling for violence against Jews.

A founder of the far-left Red Army Faction who famously underwent a transformation to the extreme right, Mahler is expected to be transferred to a jail in the northeastern state of Brandenburg to await his next trial.  A spokesperson from the Potsdam District Court told reporters that "our trial can only go forward if Horst Mahler is here."

Before being removed from the courtroom Wednesday, Mahler reportedly made a long closing statement repeating his Holocaust denial and saying he supported controversial Bishop Richard Williamson, who has publicly doubted that 6 million Jews were killed by the Nazis.

Mahler is a prominent member of the right-extremist National Democratic Party of Germany.

In November 2007, he was sentenced to six months in a German prison for raising his arm in the illegal "Hitler salute" to greet his jailers in a previous sentence for incitement to hate.
That is some funny shit....a "Hitler salute" to your German jailers who have you locked up for a thought crime.

My general rule of thumb is that if the "powers that be" are saying something is so - it isn't...

So I guess you have to label me a "holocaust denier" because I do not buy the 6 million figure nor do I buy the "gas chambers" story (of course the "soap" and "lampshades" BS was discredited long ago).   These things make great propaganda though to get everyone to march lock-step into numerous wars and to vote for more over-seas expenditures...

Obama pledges to confront Holocaust deniers


WASHINGTON (AFP) — At a ceremony Thursday remembering millions of Jews slaughtered in World War II, President Barack Obama reaffirmed the strong US bond with Israel and vowed to confront Holocaust deniers.

"There are those who insist the Holocaust never happened, who perpetrate every form of intolerance -- racism, anti-Semitism, homophobia, xenophobia, sexism and more," Obama told a gathering in the Capitol Rotunda organized by the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.

"We have an opportunity and an obligation to confront these scourges," Obama said.

"We have the opportunity ... to commit ourselves to resisting injustice, intolerance and indifference in whatever forms they may take, whether confronting those who tells lies about history or doing everything we can to prevent and end atrocities like those that took place in Rwanda, those taking place in Darfur," he said.

The US president's speech came just days after a UN conference on racism where Iranian leader Mahmoud Ahmadinejad denounced Israel as "the most cruel and repressive racist regime."

Obama reaffirmed the "strong and enduring" bonds between the United States and Israel.

"The nation of Israel rising from the destruction of the Holocaust" was a source of hope to all those who commit to fighting intolerance, he said.

Among those at the gathering, which was part of the US Holocaust Museum's Days of Remembrance, were five Poles who between them saved the lives of scores of Jews and have been awarded the title of Righteous among the Nations by the Holocaust remembrance organization, Yad Vashem.

"The Righteous remind us that no one is born a savior or a murderer. These are choices we each have the power to make," Obama said of the Poles as well as the villagers of Le Chambon in France, which refused to turn away or turn in Jews during the war, and saved 5,000 lives.

Jozef Wolszczak, now 90, and the doyen of the group of Righteous, saved the lives of 53 Jews in occupied Poland during the war, buying 20 of them for a kilo of gold from the Germans after a raid, giving 30 jobs in his small factory and harboring three more in his home.

Tadeusz Stankiewicz's family built bunkers in the woods southeast of Warsaw, in which 60 Jews hid.

"We did it because it was the only thing to do. How can you watch so many people suffering and not lift a finger to help them?" Stankiewicz told AFP.

Ireneusz Rajchowski's family sheltered dozens of Jews in their home, including a man they helped smuggle out of the Warsaw ghetto.

The rescued Jewish man and his family survived the war. His daughter, Barbara Gora, was in the Capitol Thursday, along with two more Righteous Poles, Alicja Schnepf and Anna Stupnicka-Bando, and Krystyna Budnicka, the only member of her Orthodox Jewish family to survive the war.

"The Righteous teach us ... that if we have the courage to heed that 'still, small voice' within us, we can form a minyan for righteousness that can span a village and even a nation," said Obama.

A minyan is the quorum required for Jewish communal worship. More than 6,000 Poles have been awarded the title of Righteous among the Nations, the largest number of any country.

Nobel laureate Elie Wiesel, who survived the Nazi death camps at Auschwitz and Buchenwald, used his time at the podium in the Rotunda to take on Ahmadinejad.

The Iranian leader was "the number one Holocaust denier in the world," said Wiesel, whose mother and sister died at Auschwitz, his father at Buchenwald.

"He used the solemn setting of a United Nations gathering again to insult the state of Israel in a way that no civilized person should ever do," he said, thanking the United States for boycotting the UN meeting in Geneva.

"The nation of Israel rising from the destruction of the Holocaust" was a source of hope to all those who commit to fighting intolerance, he said.

Among those at the gathering, which was part of the US Holocaust Museum's Days of Remembrance, were five Poles who between them saved the lives of scores of Jews and have been awarded the title of Righteous among the Nations by the Holocaust remembrance organization, Yad Vashem.

"The Righteous remind us that no one is born a savior or a murderer. These are choices we each have the power to make," Obama said of the Poles as well as the villagers of Le Chambon in France, which refused to turn away or turn in Jews during the war, and saved 5,000 lives.

Jozef Wolszczak, now 90, and the doyen of the group of Righteous, saved the lives of 53 Jews in occupied Poland during the war, buying 20 of them for a kilo of gold from the Germans after a raid, giving 30 jobs in his small factory and harboring three more in his home.

Tadeusz Stankiewicz's family built bunkers in the woods southeast of Warsaw, in which 60 Jews hid.

"We did it because it was the only thing to do. How can you watch so many people suffering and not lift a finger to help them?" Stankiewicz told AFP.

Ireneusz Rajchowski's family sheltered dozens of Jews in their home, including a man they helped smuggle out of the Warsaw ghetto.

The rescued Jewish man and his family survived the war. His daughter, Barbara Gora, was in the Capitol Thursday, along with two more Righteous Poles, Alicja Schnepf and Anna Stupnicka-Bando, and Krystyna Budnicka, the only member of her Orthodox Jewish family to survive the war.

"The Righteous teach us ... that if we have the courage to heed that 'still, small voice' within us, we can form a minyan for righteousness that can span a village and even a nation," said Obama.

A minyan is the quorum required for Jewish communal worship. More than 6,000 Poles have been awarded the title of Righteous among the Nations, the largest number of any country.

Nobel laureate Elie Wiesel, who survived the Nazi death camps at Auschwitz and Buchenwald, used his time at the podium in the Rotunda to take on Ahmadinejad.

The Iranian leader was "the number one Holocaust denier in the world," said Wiesel, whose mother and sister died at Auschwitz, his father at Buchenwald.

"He used the solemn setting of a United Nations gathering again to insult the state of Israel in a way that no civilized person should ever do," he said, thanking the United States for boycotting the UN meeting in Geneva.

Obama pledges to confront Holocaust deniers (http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5hV18fZB0yVFj1F0eCha8PGWvVD_Q) [...]

By "confront" he means violate their rights, like in certain other countries...  :x

And indeed, one would be hard-pressed to find a more racist government (that is recognized by the UN) than Israel.

My general rule of thumb is that if the "powers that be" are saying something is so - it isn't...

So I guess you have to label me a "holocaust denier" because I do not buy the 6 million figure nor do I buy the "gas chambers" story (of course the "soap" and "lampshades" BS was discredited long ago).   These things make great propaganda though to get everyone to march lock-step into numerous wars and to vote for more over-seas expenditures...

If I read in the most prestigious source that "the sky is blue" I will have to go out and look for myself before I believe it.

Just one more reason that you're a lunatic without any credibility who shouldn't be taken seriously. Frankly, I feel about you the way you do about "prestigious source."

Report of the Evidence in the Canadian 'False News' Trial of Ernst Zündel -- 1988

Quote
Six Million?

Should someone be considered a "Holocaust denier" because he does not believe -- as Matas and others insist -- that six million Jews were killed during World War II? This figure was cited by the International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg in 1945-1946. It found that "the policy pursued [by the German government] resulted in the killing of six million Jews, of which four million were killed in the extermination institutions." (note 2)

Yet if that is so, then several of the most prominent Holocaust historians could be regarded as "deniers." Professor Raul Hilberg, author of the standard reference work, The Destruction of the European Jews, does not accept that six million Jews died. He puts the total of deaths (from all causes) at 5.1 million. Gerald Reitlinger, author of The Final Solution, likewise did not accept the six million figure. He estimated the figure of Jewish wartime dead might be as high as 4.6 million, but admitted that this was conjectural due to a lack of reliable information.

  • April 19, 2009 - "Show 27 - Ghosts of the Ostfront I (http://dancarlinhh.libsyn.com/media/dancarlinhh/dchha27_Ghosts_of_the_Ostfront_I.mp3)" - Part One covering the conflict between the Germans and the Soviet Union in the Second World War. Dan gives an introduction to the subject and discusses the causes and opening moves of Operation Barbarossa (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Barbarossa).

Did anyone listen to that podcast?  That "field of bones" from the Battle of Stalingrad (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Stalingrad) (renamed Volgograd (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volgograd)) is totally true, and there are smaller ones all over.  My grandfather's remains are out there somewhere west of Moscow, possibly unburied.  (Seriously!)  Less than two million died near Stalingrad, but 65 years later they still can't bury them all!  No one can possibly doubt how many people died there.  The same applies to Cambodia, Rwanda, etc - the evidence is bulletproof.

Compare that to the Holocaust - 6 million Jews is a lot.  It must have left tons of evidence, and when I say tons, I do mean tons, all concentrated near the death camps.  The teeth alone, which don't burn very well, would weigh 400+ tons (http://www.google.com/search?q=6000000+*+20+*+3+grams+in+tons)!  And yet many critical thinkers had their doubts, from day one onward.  So I blame German efficiency.  Isn't it just amazing how, in spite of being invaded from both sides, having fuel and food shortages, and lots of other problems they were so successful in making so much evidence disappear!

The point is, there was a genocide committed against the Jews, Gypsies, and Slavs during WW2, and it was done by the government of the Greater German Reich.

It doesn't matter how many died. What matters is that it happened.

It also matters what the Soviets did, what the Cambodians did, what the Serbians and Bosnians did, etc.

In addition to Jews and other groups, homosexuals were imprisoned and put to death (despite many top Nazis being homosexuals). So, I guess the right has something to cheer about.

Hitler certainly gave the order to kill the Jews. Adolf Eichmann, who was in charge of the operation, later said so, at any rate. He tried to do his best to carry out the orders. The order for mass death of all Jews was in writing, and still exist. The Nazis were, if anything, excellent record keepers.

As with most conspiracies theories, the holocaust deniers weave thin theory out of scant and misleading "evidence," which is easily buried by massive amounts of real-world proof. That which hints at proof of the theory is clung to long after it's been debunked, while any contravening proof is dismissed via tortured logic.

Key elements of this claim are the rejection of any of the following: that the Nazi government had a policy of deliberately targeting Jews and people of Jewish ancestry for extermination as a people; that over five million Jews were systematically killed by the Nazis and their allies; and that genocide was carried out at extermination camps using tools of mass murder, such as gas chambers.

Unless you're just going to assume that there was no such thing as the Einsatzgruppen, Himmler never said that the Holocaust was a chapter in history "that is not to be written and will never be written," there was no Wannsee conference, there were no experiments of Mengele, Hitler never said in the 20s that if he were elected to office he would have the Jews hung one by one on the lampposts of Munich . . .

Hell, war crimes don't happen at all. There was no Unit 791 of the Japanese Imperial Army, there was no Sack of Berlin by the Soviet Army, the CIA never waterboarded civilians, etc.

Yes it does. If it isn't approximately 6 million or more Jews, it is "Holocaust Denial".

No, it's not.
Oh, I guess it's down to 5 million or more now. Weird how that number keeps shrinking.

Key elements of this claim are the rejection of any of the following: that the Nazi government had a policy of deliberately targeting Jews and people of Jewish ancestry for extermination as a people; that over five million Jews were systematically killed by the Nazis and their allies; and that genocide was carried out at extermination camps using tools of mass murder, such as gas chambers.

Because it was a policy of the German Government to kill the Jews and make Germany "Jew-free."

Facebook urged to remove Holocaust-denial groups


(CNN) -- Part of the power of social networking is the ability to form communities with like-minded individuals.

But what happens when those communities are offensive to others?

That issue is at the heart of attempts by a Dallas, Texas, attorney to have social-networking site Facebook remove pages for Holocaust deniers.

The Holocaust Denial movement seeks to deny or minimize the Holocaust, in which Nazis killed about six million European Jews during World War II.

Attorney Brian Cuban, brother of Dallas Mavericks team owner Mark Cuban, has been trying since last year to have the pages of groups with such names as "Holocaust: A Series of Lies," and "Holocaust is a Holohoax" removed from Facebook.

He pointed out that Facebook has removed groups based on complaints before and said the site is "setting the subjective standard on what they remove and what they don't."

"There is no First Amendment right to free speech in the private realm," Cuban said. "This isn't a freedom-of-speech issue. Facebook is free to set the standard that they wish."

Facebook spokesman Barry Schnitt said his company is in agreement with Cuban that the Holocaust-denial pages are offensive and objectionable.

Where the two sides part, Schnitt said, is whether people have the right to discuss such ideas on Facebook.

"It's a difficult decision to make. We have a lot of internal debate and we bring in experts to talk about it," Schnitt said. "Just being offensive or objectionable doesn't get it taken off Facebook. We want it [the site] to be a place where people can discuss all kinds of ideas, including controversial ones."

Schnitt said Facebook has drawn the line with pages or groups that attack an individual or incite or threaten violence. Schnitt pointed to the recent removal of the "Isle of Man KKK" page, created by residents of the island off the coast of England.

Facebook interpreted the page's advocacy of "cleansing the island of foreigners" as threatening and inciting violence, he said.

Facebook receives lots of reports about such pages and actively polices the site, Schnitt said. Last year Facebook removed several pages posted by Italian neo-Nazis after complaints that they encouraged violence against gypsies.

Brian Cuban, who is of Russian Jewish descent, has written about his fight to have the Holocaust-denial pages removed on his site, The Cuban Revolution.

He said he contacted Facebook after a conversation with a friend who runs the Jewish Internet Defense Force, a group that monitors and tries to eradicate anti-Semitic online content.

The Jewish Internet Defense Force, which was successful in removing a Facebook page for the group "Israel Is Not A Country! Delist It From Facebook As A Country," is outspoken in its own right and sometimes guilty of sweeping generalizations of its own.

In an article on Brian Cuban's site published during the 2008 presidential campaign, a representative from the Jewish Internet Defense Force was quoted as saying that "99.9 percent of Muslims hate us."

The article went on to quote JIDF spokesman on the last Presidential campaign: "We hope to continue to highlight the issues surrounding [then-candidate Barack Obama's] terrorist connections as well as his racist and anti-Semitic church, which has supported Hamas and the Rev. Louis Farrakhan."

A Jewish Internet Defense Force spokesperson named David, who requested his last name be withheld because his group has received death threats, said Thursday he would rather people not focus on those specific quotes for several reasons, including the fact that it was an "informal interview" and Cuban "would not let us correct any of our statements after we quickly answered him to help him meet his deadline."

But on the matter of Facebook and Holocaust deniers, the Jewish Internet Defense Force has a clear stance.

"Facebook should not provide a platform for hatred, especially as it is against their TOS [terms of service]," David said. "Holocaust denial is illegal in 13 countries and represents a form of Jew hatred and hate speech in general."

Deborah Lipstadt is the Dorot Professor of Modern Jewish and Holocaust Studies at Emory University and an expert on Holocaust denial. She said social-networking sites like Facebook are attractive to deniers.

"It allows people to find one another, both for good and for bad," she said. "People who are drawn to Holocaust denial tend to be fringe kind of people who might not otherwise be able to find a group, but this way they can find other like-minded people."

Deborah Lauter, director of Civil Rights for the Anti-Defamation League, said the issue of anti-Semitism and hate speech online is a growing one, partly because of the anonymity the Web offers.

Lauter pointed out that Facebook's Statement of Rights and Responsibilities says that users "will not post content that is hateful, threatening, pornographic, or that contains nudity or graphic or gratuitous violence."

She said the Anti-Defamation League has worked with sites such as YouTube and MySpace to encourage them to be "socially responsible corporate citizens."

"Even though in the States this kind of hate is protected speech, [Web sites] don't have to provide the forum to help spread it," said Lauter, whose organization is the U.S. representative for the International Network Against CyberHate. "Our position is that if you are going to be providing it, then you have to step up and put in the mechanism for policing it."

Yes, there is the newest "revelation" that the book about a romance between two holocaust survivors never occurred.  But there is also the old story about the girl hidden in the attic (the name of the book escapes me at the moment) which was required reading way back in the 60's and still is today that has been shown to also be a work of fiction (even though that "fact" is never discussed even in the classes where it is required reading). 

But even more disturbing is the "FACT" that EVERYTHING in history is distorted to some degree.  The only question is to what degree.  History is always written by the conquerors and so is always written from that perspective. 

Does any of this mean that an event labeled "The Holocaust" DID NOT occur?  No, it is obvious to most anyone that a lot of Jews were killed during the war by the Nazis.  I think it is pretty clear that the number WAS NOT 6 million as is always touted (even in the story above).  Was the actual number closer to 3 million?  We will never know as all that information is spotty and some of it has been destroyed or lost. 

Of course all of you point to the historical event that is called the life of Christ and tell me how inaccurate it is (and I freely admit that some of it is indeed inaccurate) but then you latch onto this holocaust event and treat all the hype as fact (even though much of it has been proven to be false). 

So now my challenge to you is:  ADMIT that some of the history of the holocaust is inaccurate...  (  )True  or   (  ) False?

Holocaust denial is the claim that the genocide of Jews during World War II—usually referred to as the Holocaust[1]—did not occur at all, or in the manner or to the extent as historically recognized.

Key elements of this claim are the rejection of any of the following: that the Nazi government had a policy of deliberately targeting Jews and people of Jewish ancestry for extermination as a people; that over five million Jews[1] were systematically killed by the Nazis and their allies; and that genocide was carried out at extermination camps using tools of mass murder, such as gas chambers.

If a person thinks the number of jews killed was around four million, that person is a Holocaust denier.

You are also considered a Holocaust denier if you don't take a position, and just ask questions.

Australian Holocaust denier sentenced to prison

Fredrick Toben sentenced after violating 2002 court order to stop publishing anti-Semitic material on his website

Associated Press Published:  05.13.09, 17:43 / Israel News 

An Australian man who has denied the Holocaust occurred was sentenced Wednesday to three months in prison for defying an order to stop publishing anti-Semitic material on his Web site. Fredrick Toben remained free after the sentencing, however, because the judge gave him two weeks to lodge an appeal.

Justice Bruce Lander of the Federal Court found Toben, 65, guilty of 24 counts of contempt of a 2002 court ruling that barred him from publishing anti-Semitic material on the Web site of his organization, the Adelaide Institute.

The material found to be in breach of the order included suggestions the Holocaust did not happen, that questioned whether there were gas chambers at the Auschwitz death camp, and that challenged the intelligence of Jews who questioned Holocaust deniers' beliefs.

Toben said the ruling was a defeat for free speech. "I am quite prepared to sacrifice my physical comforts for the sake of free expression," he told reporters outside the court.

Toben last year avoided prosecution in Germany on a Holocaust-denying charge when a British court ruled against extraditing him after he was arrested in London on a German warrant. Prosecutors said at the time they still wanted to pursue the charge.

Toben was previously arrested while traveling through Germany and convicted by the Mannheim court of Holocaust denial in 1999. He served seven months in prison before being released.

'No vilification of minorities'
The case against Toben stemmed from allegations made by Jeremy Jones, a former president of the Executive Council of Australian Jewry, who welcomed Wednesday's ruling as a victory against the vilification of minorities online.

"In Australian law we have very open debate on most subjects, but that debate does not include a right to insult and abuse and humiliate people based on their race and ethnicity," Jones told Australian Broadcasting Corp. radio.

Toben participated in Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's 2006 conference called to debate whether the World War II genocide of Jews took place, where he argued the Auschwitz death camp was too small for the mass murder of Jews to have been carried out there. He suggested only 2,007 people could have been killed at the camp.

Researchers estimate that between 1.1 million and 1.5 million people - mainly Jews - were killed at Auschwitz by the Nazis, part of the total 6 million.

Ah--I see the plan. If you can establish that some minor details are incorrect, it invalidates the entire event. Right? So, if it's NOT exactly six million, (or whatever), then no one was murdered.

My question is, if the holocaust never occurred, then where did all those people vanish to? (There are records; tons of records. The Germans were nothing if not sticklers for record-keeping.)

Let's see--we can probably play this "if some of the details are wrong, then the thing never happened" game with other historical events. Columbus wasn't the first European to discover America, so colonization never happened. The Wrights weren't the first to fly heavier-than-air craft, so aviation never occurred. We can go on all day with this...

But yes--huge numbers of people were undoubtedly murdered in the German concentration camps. William Shire did a great deal of research for his "The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich," and details the very careful planning and orchestrating of the holocaust, giving names, dates, documents. The deniers have to explain away each of these. So far, from what I've seen, heard and read of them, they do a pitifully lousy job of it.

Revisionists do not "deny" the Jewish Holocaust as their critics claim. (Though of course it is understandable why those critics assert this; if, in a debate about the shape of the earth, you can successfully pin on someone the label "flat-earther," you've scored big points even if what they say is very far from the absurdity of such a posture.)

Revisionists are, in fact, Holocaust DIMINISHERS, not deniers. They are questioners about what they believe are significant exaggerations in the Holocaust tale, and they are critics of the view that somehow this historical event is beyond discussion on pain of being placed in the category of child-molester or worse, shunned by society, even fined and imprisoned by some so-called free countries in the western world.

Revisionists do not deny that there was much Jewish suffering during WW II, that there were many Jews who had property confiscated wrongfully, that many Jews died of disease or starvation in terrible conditions or were killed, that there were terrible brutalities and atrocities committed against Jews by Germans and others. None of this do Revisionists deny.

No one is claiming that no Jews (and others) were killed by the big bad Nazi's...  OF COURSE THEY WERE !!!  You have been told over and over again the definition of "Holocaust denier" and how it includes ANYONE who disputes ANY of the "official story".  If I say that the nasty Nazi's killed 5 million Jews (hey, that a lot) I then am officially a "Holocaust denier" according to the "official" definition....

So the question still stands if you have the balls to answer it...

Poll: 40% of Israeli Arabs believe Holocaust never happened

Some 40.5 percent of Israeli Arabs believe the Holocaust never occurred, according to the results of a University of Haifa poll released Sunday.

The survey shows that Holocaust denial among Israeli Arabs has become more prevalent in recent years. In 2006, 28 percent of Israeli Arabs polled denied that the Holocaust occurred.

The annual poll of Jewish-Arab relations, which was conducted by Professor Sami Samuha, also found that only 41 percent of Israel's Arab minority recognize the country's right to exist as a Jewish and democratic state, as opposed to 65.6 percent in 2003.


Moreover, only 53.7 percent of the Israeli Arab public believe Israel has a right to exist just as an independent country, according to the poll, down from 81.1 percent in 2003.

"This radicalization in the positions of Arabs was caused by a series of factors such as the Second Lebanon War, the stalemate in the negotiations with the Palestinians, the failure to implement the conclusions of the Or committee, closing the case against the Border Police troops who shot dead the Israeli Arab protesters in October 2000, and more," Samuha said.

700 Israeli Arab men and women participated in the survey, which will be published in its entirety on Monday.

Yeah, keep in mind the Palestinian Arabs have pretty much never liked the Jews there.

During WW2 they were heart and soul for Hitler, not only because he was anti-Jew but because he was anti-British.

More likely they recognize that the Holocaust is being used as an excuse to take over their land and deport them from their country.  Not so much they don't think that the Holocaust happened.  They are just saying that to make the Zionist overlords angry.

I believe the official version of events, that 6 million jews and 5 million others were killed during the Holocaust.

But at the same time, the existence of Holocaust denial laws in and of itself make me suspicious. It would make sense for Holocaust deniers to be treated as flat-earthers are, i.e. simply laughed off as crazy old men. But instead there's there's all these Holocaust denial laws now. And what's even funnier is you'd think if these laws were ever going to be passed, they'd be passed right after WWII, when the horrors of the Holocaust were freshest in people's minds. But instead the first of these laws weren't passed until 1971 by Spain, and nothing subsequent was passed by any other country until 1985, and most countries that have these laws passed them either in the 90's or 00's.

The laws smack too much of thought crimes.

I've known two camp survivors in my life. I lived with one for awhile, when I first left home and shared an apartment with two other guys. One of them was this old Jewish Italian. He still had the tattoo on his arm. He was a shoe repairman, who worked for another camp survivor, another old Jewish guy from Germany. I learned not to ask them about the camps, since it tended to ruin their day.

My old man was in Europe during WWII. His job through the war was digging up unexploded bombs. After VE day, he was put on guard duty, watching over German POWs in Europe. The reason was that, as a German-American, he spoke excellent German. (In fact, at six years old he was denied entry to his Wisconsin elementary school because he couldn't speak English.) He had a chance to see the camps, and I believe his stories over any poppycock spouted by the Deniers.

Dad lived to his dying day as a racist and a bigot. But, after what he'd seen, he always had sympathy for the Jews.

Iran's Ahmadinejad on Holocaust

Don't like him leave him to his own country where he was legally elected their representative.  He is in a very difficult position having the contend with two countries threatening his country.  Iran has no navy and very limited military capability.  They are well with in Israeli bomber range and have been targeted in the past.  And he has a country in which there is a wealth of oil which corporations would like nothing better than to strip from the people of Iran.  So it is in the interest of several people to spin his statements in order to attempt to justify an attack and out right theft of the people of Iran's resources.

So he questions the Holocaust.  Why because as he pointed out during WWII only about 2 million people were in the military at the time yet 60 million people world wide are estimated to have died due to WWII.  So out of the 58 million dead civilians 6 million were Jewish.  So were is the compensation for the deaths and the outcry over the 52 million other people.  Media writes it off as being a separate issue of collateral damage.  Well I would suppose with the exception of the 5 million or so other people in German death camps who didn't happen to be Jewish. 

Nazis may have been targeting ethic groups for which they had access.  Might not have been so much targeting of Jews but more the killing of anyone who wasn't Aryan or matched the Aryan ideal.  If Hitler could have gotten his hands on a significant number of Negros.  Certainly they would have been tossed in the ovens right along with the Slavic, Gypsy, mentally impaired and Jewish.  Which is not meant to diminish the horrible evil things which the Nazis did to Jews as well as several other groups of people.   

The other question he had and it never was answered ever by anyone that I know of during his visit.  (Which btw took a whole lot of courage.  He could have been assassinated by any number of interested parties.)  If Germany is guilty of the crime of Genocide and committed this crime against the Jews.  Why don't Jews own Germany?  Why weren't they allowed to take over Germany and displace the German people?  Why was an innocent third party country made to pay for the crimes of Germany if there was a crime of genocide perpetuated on the Jews of Europe. (Note* not my opinion as to questioning the Holocaust but Ahmadinejad's.)  His contention is if you have a victim of the crime shouldn't the criminal be held accountable and have to pay reparations.  Something I bet a bunch of people missed in his conversation.  Ahmadinejad said he had no problem with there being a Jewish lead state.  His problem was that an innocent people have been overthrown and displaced of their lands to accomplish this state.  He is pointing out that the crimes accuse of Germany of throwing people off their land, demolishing their homes, farms, businesses and villages is what is going on now in Palestine.  If it was genocide for the Germans to do this why is it not when Israel does it for their growing room?

I also agree there is no other event in human history which has protection laws around it.  Shouldn't that bother people that no inquiry into the causes and the execution is permitted less you are accused of breaking the law of holocaust denial.  I agree deniers should be pointed at and proven wrong if not openly mocked for not looking at the evidence and testimony of victims.  But what has to be hidden so that it requires protection laws?

Harvard Crimson says Holocaust denial ad published by accident

(CNN) -- Harvard University, one of America's premiere academic institutions, is coming under fire for running an advertisement in its campus newspaper questioning the reality of the Holocaust.

Recently named for the second straight year as the No. 1 school in U.S. News & World Report rankings of American colleges, Harvard is known for its rigorous scholarly standards and prestigious reputation.

On Tuesday, however, The Harvard Crimson, in what it said was an error, ran the Holocaust-questioning advertisement, which had been rejected by the paper over the summer.

In response to the commotion created by the ad, Crimson President Maxwell L. Child released a statement Wednesday citing three weeks of summer vacation between the submission of the advertisement and the publication of the paper as the explanation for why the ad "fell through the cracks."

"We want to stress that we do not endorse the views put forth in any advertisement that runs in The Crimson, and this case was no different," Child said in a letter to Crimson readers. "We will work hard to avoid such lapses in communication in the future, and hope our readers will accept that yesterday's error was a logistical failure and not a philosophical one."

The ad, paid for by Holocaust denier Bradley R. Smith and his Committee for Open Debate on the Holocaust, primarily raises questions about then-Gen. Dwight Eisenhower's account of World War II and the existence of Nazi gas chambers.

It is widely accepted that approximately 5.7 million of Europe's 7.3 million Jews perished during the war. In total, historians say, between 11 million and 17 million people were killed by the Nazi regime, including religious and political opponents, ethnic Poles, Romani, Jehovah's Witnesses, Soviet civilians and prisoners of war, homosexuals and people with disabilities.

Smith said he is not surprised by the reaction because "it's taboo, and has been taboo from the beginning. When you break a culture-wide taboo, supported in theory and practice by the state, the university and the press, you create a fuss."

Smith said that he made the deal with the Crimson in July, but was never made aware of any plan by the newspaper to cancel his ad. While he has not yet received a refund for his pulled notice, he said he expects the paper to "do the right thing about the money."

Bernie Steinberg, president and director of Harvard Hillel, a Jewish campus organization, said on Wednesday that the advertisement was "obviously a shock to see."

But the group's students reacted appropriately, he said, and the incident should be seen as an example of "extraordinary mature student leadership in response to an unfortunate situation."

The Crimson was very responsive after many people in the Harvard community, including numerous members of Harvard Hillel, contacted the paper expressing their concerns, he said.

Harvard Hillel's student president, Rebecca Gillette, circulated a letter saying she thought the situation was being appropriately addressed. "The fact that organizations and individuals like that publicized in this advertisement still exist today is frightening and disturbing, but unfortunately it seems that Holocaust denial will persist for years to come," she said.

Robert Trestan, civil rights counsel for the Anti-Defamation League of New England, said Smith and his organization have placed ads in approximately 15 college papers around the country so far this year. He said he finds it shocking that such an advertisement would fall through the cracks, as Child said.

"Would an ad that questions whether the world was flat or that slavery never happened in America have fallen through the cracks?" he asked.

He said his organization will continue to work with college newspaper editors to educate schools that they don't have an obligation to publish questionable advertising.

Al Tompkins, a faculty member at the Poynter Institute, billed on its Web site as "a school for journalists, future journalists, and teachers of journalism," said he hopes this will become a "teachable moment."

"It seems to be a big mistake and obviously nothing meant to offend anyone," he said. Because student publications are meant to be teaching tools, "the key is not to not make mistakes, the key is how they respond to mistakes in a forthcoming and transparent manner," he said.

He recommended that the Crimson return any money associated with the advertisement.

Child's statement in the Crimson said that was being done.

France fines comedian 10,000 euros over anti-Semitic stunt

By Haaretz Service
 

A French court on Tuesday fined a right-wing comedian 10,000 euros for "public anti-Semitic insults" after he invited Robert Faurisson, an academic and Holocaust denier, on stage during a comedy show to receive an "award" from an actor dressed as a Jewish deportee.

The Paris court told Dieudonne M'bala M'bala, a 43-year-old French stand-up comic, to pay a further 10,000 in damages and legal fees to organizations that sued him, French news agency AFP reported.

Dieudonne told the court that the show had been intended as a "comedy bomb attack" but defended his right to free expression. Anti-racism and Jewish groups welcomed the verdict, AFP reported.

Dieudonne has courted controversy in the past. Earlier this year he tried entering politics by running for the European parliament as head of an anti-Zionist party.

In 2007, the comedian was fined after he accused Jews of exploiting "memorial pornography" and attacked a "Zionist lobby which cultivates the idea of their unique suffering...and has declared war on the black world."

Two months later he was back in court and fined 5,000 euros for having compared Jews to "slave-traders."

He remains under investigation over a video circulating on the Internet in which he appears to attack a "yid Zionist lobby" led by "racist liars."




http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dieudonn%C3%A9_M'bala_M'bala

Court convictions

On June 14, 2006 Dieudonné was sentenced to a penalty of 4,500 Euro for defamation after having called a prominent Jewish television presenter a "secret donor of the child-murdering Israeli army".[47]

On November 15, 2007, an appellate court convicted him to a 5,000 Euro fine because he had treated "the Jews" as "slave traders".[48]

On 26 June 2008, he was sentenced in the last judicial instance to a 7,000 Euro fine for his designation of the Holocaust as "memorial pornography".[49]

On 27 February 2009 he was fined 75,000 Canadian dollars in Montreal for defamatory statements with antisemtic undertones against the singer and actor Patrick Bruel.[50]

On 26 March 2009 Dieudonné was sentenced to a total of 3,000 Euros for defamation after having criticised Elisabeth Schemla, a Jewish journalist who ran the now defunct Proche-Orient.Info website. He declared on 31 May 2005 that the website wanted to "eradicate Dieudonné from the audiovisual landscape" and had said of him that "he's an anti-semite, he's the son of Hitler, he will exterminate everyone.".[51]

On 27 October 2009, he was sentenced to a fine of 10,000 Euros for "public insult of people of Jewish faith or origin" related to his show with Robert Faurisson.[52]

Holocaust-denier to be freed from jail


Denying that the Holocaust took place, or questioning key elements such as that six million Jews died, is illegal in Germany and Austria.


BERLIN, February 17, 2010 (AFP) - German Holocaust-denier Ernst Zuendel is to be freed from prison on March 1 after serving out his five-year sentence, prosecutors said on Wednesday.

Zuendel, 69, was jailed for five years in 2007 for inciting racial hatred, having been extradited from Canada in 2005 where he had lived for decades. Two years spent behind bars before his trial were counted as part of his sentence.

He repeatedly denied key historical facts of the Holocaust, penning a book titled "The Hitler We Loved and Why", describing the Nazi leader as a "man of peace" and helping to disseminate a range of anti-Semitic literature.

Denying that the Holocaust took place, or questioning key elements such as that six million Jews died, is illegal in Germany and Austria.

Renegade British bishop Richard Williamson is due to face trial in Germany on April 16 after refusing to pay a fine for saying that "not one Jew" was killed in the gas chambers. He is not required to attend in person and can be represented by his lawyer.

Yeah, it's enforced. It's called "assault." People usually think of assault as actual hitting, but in legalise it's issuing a threat. When it moves to hitting, or worse, it's "battery."

When I was young (200 years ago) this was not only "legal", it was common.  People were always telling others "I'm going to kill you" in threatening tone and for the most part, you didn't take them seriously.  Even if you thought that someone WAS serious, the only thing you would do is take precautions to avoid that person or carry a 38 in your pocket...

This is called FREEDOM OF SPEECH.  You can say anything.  It's your ACTIONS that you are held accountable for.

But with the "public fools system" teaching our youth for the last 50 years, I can understand how the new touchy-feely trend is convincing the masses that the use of vibrating air (words) is somehow an "assault"...

"Sticks and stones will break my bones but words will never hurt me..."  (a very common saying among children when I was young.  Maybe we ought to start using it again.

The website is arabic and english.  It claims that the holocaust never happened and then talks about how tragic it was (yeah makes no sense) then shows a bunch of anti-Jew cartoons suggesting that Jews drink blood and are money hungry, have long noses, tails, etc.  Talks about how Jews should side with anti-Israel terrorist organizations and makes claims of genocide.

Pretty standard for a Palestinian holocaust denial pamphlet.  Also pretty fuckin stupid.

Here you go lying again.  Several times they make it clear they are anti-Zionist not anti-Jewish.  It seems to be a habit of yours to not to make that distinction.  It is done to mislead people into equating Zionism to Judaism when they are not the same.

Their argument is that the Holocaust happened as part of the war but not the goal of the war.  I would say they are incorrect on the goal but not in total denial.   Trust me I have seen sites that claimed not many Jews were killed.  That most Jews simply changed their names and moved.  That I would consider Holocaust denial and not the argument presented on this website.

Their argument lacks an understanding of idealistic master race philosophy of the Nazis.  Nazis did not specifically zone in on only Jews for genocide.  Anyone who was not Aryan or up to the Aryan ideal was a target.   This is why millions of Gypsies, Slavic people and gays were murdered as well as Jews.   (see quote and links below to Stephen Hick's interesting take on Nazism.)

They say it several times they are against ZIONIST and not Jewish people.  This is because ZIONIST used the deaths of innocent Jewish people to oppress others.  They are using many of the same arguments that http://www.jewsagainstzionism.com/antisemitism/holocaust/index.cfm (http://www.jewsagainstzionism.com/antisemitism/holocaust/index.cfm)  Jews against Zionism use and why I thought it was possibly a Jews against Zionism sympathetic site.

A Libertarian friend of mine introduced me to ideas of Stephen Hicks, Ph D.  and his perspective on the rise of Nazism.  Hicks has published a DVD called, "Nietzsche and the Nazis," which gives his arguments on why Germany went so evil so fast.   Preview of the DVD (http://"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-WaeXHMeho")
Quote
Anti-individualism and collectivism

We know that the National Socialists were thoroughly collectivistic and strongly anti-individualistic. For them the relevant groups were the Germanic Aryans—and all the others. Individuals were defined by their group identity, and individuals were seen only as vehicles through which the groups achieved their interests. The Nazis rejected the Western liberal idea that individuals are ends in themselves: to the Nazis individuals were merely servants of the groups to which they belong.

The anti-individualism of the Nazis was most blatant in their treatment of Jews. They did not see Jews as individuals with moral significance and rights—rather they saw members of a group they wished to destroy. This meant, as a matter of policy, that the Nazis were uncaring about the lives of individuals and were willing to kill as many individuals as was necessary to achieve their group’s advantage.

Even within their own group, the Nazis did not see Aryan/Germans fundamentally as individuals. They saw them as members of the Volk, the German people, the group to which they owed service, obedience, and even their lives.
http://www.stephenhicks.org/tag/nietzsche-as-a-proto-nazi/ (http://www.stephenhicks.org/tag/nietzsche-as-a-proto-nazi/)

The parallels to socialist Israel are extremely alarming to anyone who advocates for individualism and freedom.  And this isn't to say that a socialist Palestine/Gaza/Westbank are any more desirable either.  Both are mired in group think and the fundamental problems associated with socialism.  The steady march to socialism in the United States is pitting groups of people against one another as Americans seem to forget the principles of individualism and freedom.  Sadly survival in the future may depend on being part of the group with the most power and weapons.   And that group might not be based on race or religion but rather on political philosophy and social class/connection.

You really are in denial, you have to delve deeper than the superficial.  The point was that just like American's who wrap themselves up in the flag.  Calling themselves patriotic while undermining the principles which once made this nation great are not really patriots.  Similarly secular Zionist wrapping themselves up in the superficial garb of Judaism while undermining the principles of Judaism are not really faithful Jews.  Most likely due to the fact that the makers are socialist themselves they don't actually get that they are demonstrating the fallacy of socialism.  Also like typical socialist they delude themselves into believing if only our people were in charge things would be fair.  Something that is impossible in a socialist government which always devolves into cronyism and corruption and can only sustain itself through force.   

Ultimately, Zionist are using religion to deflect people from seeing the real evil which is socialism.  A system of government which is responsible for the deaths and oppression of millions of people around the globe.   If it weren't for the financial subsidizing of Israel by the USA, Israel couldn't ignore the two state solution.  They would have been unable to continue to displace people from their homes, farms and businesses while exploiting natural resources for the group in power.  If you would bother to read or watch Hicks you would see that this group think and the death of individualism is the real threat to humanity.  And it doesn't mater the group in question as long as they have the power.  Because under socialism the power group can oppress and harm those who are not part of the privileged group under the color of authority.

You are the one who is nuts.  You are so tied up in your group identity that you can't see past it.  Again the site says several times that it is not anit-Jewish.  It is anti-Zionist.  ZIONISM is a form of SOCIALISM dumbass.  The only thing that distinguishes it from other forms of SOCIALISM is that it's elevated group of choice are secular Jews.  The state of Israel is a socialist country or are you so hypnotized by Zionist propaganda you have forgotten that fact.   And with the Lukid party in charge it is wrapped up in nationalism.  Which if you were to create a word for it, it would be called Judiafascism. 

Maybe it is just that you are too intellectually challenged to understand the analysis of Hicks about socialism and trends toward fascism.  How it crushes individuality in favor of a group mentality.   The United States is another example of this trend as we become more socialist.  We are also becoming more fascist.  But the group in charge is more along the lines of class or wealth than any race or religion so it is much more complex to see in the US.  You simply can't see the forest because you are so narrowly focused on a tree.

Does anyone know a legitimate reason why unlike all other historical events the Holocaust is legally protected from any scientific inquiry in many countries?  Why, are there Holocaust Denial laws?  Shouldn't it be treated like any other fringe idea and ridiculed but not illegal.  There is no law keeping the Flat Earth Society or UFO believers from being able to investigate or hold those beliefs.  There is no law stopping people that deny the Scottish or Irish genocides happened.  But this one historic event is legally protected, shouldn't that seem odd?   

This is from the Jewish Chronical about one such Holocaust Denial Law that passed. A bad law against Holocaust denial  Hungary’s new legislation will only stifle debate and boost the country’s far-right parties.  http://www.thejc.com/comment-and-debate/comment/29844/a-bad-law-against-holocaust-denial (http://www.thejc.com/comment-and-debate/comment/29844/a-bad-law-against-holocaust-denial)

Quote
But the law, and Lajos Bokros, are wrong. Wrong because the way to combat Holocaust denial, even in immature democracies, is not legislation but education. Wrong because the law stifles free speech and debate about the Holocaust and other genocides. And wrong because the law turns the Nazi extermination of the Jews into a political football.

In comparison to Romania or Serbia, Hungary has made substantial progress in memorialising the Holocaust. Budapest is home to an excellent, modern and profoundly moving Holocaust museum, housed in a former synagogue. There are numerous Holocaust memorials such as that in the western city of Gyor, listing the city's schoolchildren who were deported to Auschwitz. Holocaust memorial day is commemorated each January in the Hungarian parliament. Films by a new generation of young documentary-makers exploring the Holocaust and its legacy are shown on national television.

Consider the wording of the law. What does it mean to "question the Holocaust"? The history of the Holocaust, like all history, is continually being probed, revised and re-examined. That process leads us further towards the terrible truth of the Holocaust, while laws banning Holocaust denial help stifle that essential debate.

Slander is a different issue it is similar to fraud and can be prosecuted as such.  What I am talking about is scientific inquiry and provable facts.  Facts which can be substantiated being outlawed to protect a favored group or to rewrite history for political gains.  It seems these laws are more for covering up than for anything else.  I have to disagree freedom of speech is an absolute right and a principle which should always be protected.  Because squashing speech can be just as harmful.

It is their country but like I said it says more about them than any speech they wish to suppress.   Laws like these are only needed to support weak cases and not strong evidence.   It follows along the same lines of religious oppression laws.  If the people have genuine faith in their religion they shouldn't fear other religions.  By passing religious oppression laws or acts they are showing fear that competing religious thought might take away their worshipers.  History is littered with examples.  

What is the fear?  That someone might prove it was physically impossible to accomplish some of the things in the Holocaust narrative.  And that will take away from the proven criminal acts of the Nazis?  The other side of this fear of inquiry is that serious archeological exploration of sites is also suppressed.   These sorts of laws were one of the road blocks which hampered the efforts of a French priest who ultimately uncovered many mass graves of thousands of Jews killed by Nazis.  Evidence that would have perished if not for his determination in spite of the possibility that he might have found evidence which didn't support the legally protected Holocaust narrative.  For example if he had only found the bodies of men with no women and children in these mass graves.  Since that scenario isn't in keeping with the Holocaust narrative his findings could have placed him in a position of being labeled a Holocaust denier.   And it is the fear that evidence might not back up the Holocaust narrative that shuts down scientific inquiry.   It is fear of the truth that dictates the need for such laws against freedom of speech.

I would rather have these idiots out in the open and denounced than sending them underground.  The evidence can counter the overwhelming majority of their claims.  It is better to expose them as racist pigs than to potentially martyr them.   I sometimes wonder if Hitler had never been jailed would he have come to power. 

Not so sure I agree it was the official policy to exterminate from the beginning.  Rather it was the net result of their efforts to push non-Aryans off of lands they wanted for Aryans.   As that plan proved impractical they degenerated into policies of extermination.   Semantics aside the net results were the same and there is massive amounts of documentation to back up the various racist laws passed in Germany.   Laws which targeted Jews and laws which targeted other groups of non-Aryans.   It was the systematic stripping of minority civil rights under the law.  Another reason I don't think extermination was public policy is because most of the German people thought that Jews and other ethnic minorities were being shipped off to other countries not killed.   Even many of the US soldiers had no idea.  That was until death camps were liberated.  I want to believe it was well covered up.  To think otherwise would make the fate of the St. Louis an even greater stain on American history.

There is documentation concerning the Eugenics polices of the Nazis and the forced sterilization of thousands of people deemed undesirable.   Little know fact the United States was the first country with compulsory sterilization programs for the purpose of eugenics.  All done on state level as there never was a federal law but still shocking bit of history.

 he would hang all the Jews in Munich.

And by that I mean he said he would literally have all the Jews hanged from lampposts.

I had never heard of this news paper report.  Certain it was literally interpreted by the public?  I could believe Hitler meant it literally.  Because this is the same time the KKK in America was riding high and hanging blacks.  And if you read some of the clan propaganda it would say similar things about hanging all the blacks.  But in reality no one believed them and saw it as posturing even when several blacks were hanged.   So isn't it possible the paper reading audience saw it as posturing and not literal.  But then again maybe that is why Hitler lost the race for Governor of Bavaria.  And why he modified his message of hide the true intent.   

Wouldn't it be more logical to think Nazis realized politically national racism was only strong enough to support deportations.  And not strong enough to carry out cold blooded murder.  So why, all the political maneuvering to strip Jews of their civil rights, property and incurring the cost of shipping people off to their deaths?   If the audience was ok with it literally shouldn't they have been all about stringing up Jews and non-Aryans on the spot once the Nazis came to power?   

Why did they have to hide?  In the Rwandan genocide the government encourage citizens form militias and murder the targeted minority.  And the people of that country took up arms and started murdering the targeted minority.   Because as I have said before hiding something means fear.   The Rwandan government did not fear a policy of telling people they were free to kill the targeted minority.  Yet for some reason Nazis feared an all out policy of killing.

I guess I interpret policy as being something in the public domain without fear of opposition.   I suspect you interpret policy as intent.

This is a copy of something from a Bavarian newspaper from the 1920s:

(http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/images/d/d4/Hitler_quote.gif)

Translation:

"Once I really am in power, my first and foremost task will be the annihilation of the Jews. As soon as I have the power to do so, I will have gallows built in rows - at the Marienplatz in Munich, for example - as many as traffic allows.

Then the Jews will be hanged indiscriminately, and they will remain hanging until they stink; they will hang there as long as the principles of hygiene permit. As soon as they have been untied, the next batch will be strung up, and so on down the line, until the last Jew in Munich has been exterminated. Other cities will follow suit, precisely in this fashion, until all Germany has been completely cleansed of Jews. "

That is the question I was asking as well.  Why was there a radical shift from this plan to hiding the Nazi intent to kill all the Jews?  Cause as best I can recall there never was any mention of Nazis carrying out mass hangings as stated in the article.  And why bother with all the expense of the legal maneuvering that stripped Jews and others of their civil rights.  They actually wrote laws which would sterilize and euthanize those deemed a  burden of society.  The life not worth living laws and went about eliminating handicapped people in a much more public fashion.  But why hide the other activity and make up the fraud which was the death camps and pretend they were exporting Jews and other ethnic undesirables to work camps? 

The big question is what changed from 1922 the time of the article where he is very public about the desire to murder all Jews to 1924 and the publication of Mein Kampf were he simply spouts off racist conspiracy theories?  During this window did Hitler meet up with a political adviser who got him to throw out the extermination plan from his mad manifesto?

So you are saying the Jewish writer and one of the organizers of Jews against Zionism is an anti-Semite?
Here is the book again listed on Amazon.  Is Amazon an anti-Semite website for selling this book which was written by a Jewish author?  http://www.amazon.com/51-Documents-Zionist-Collaboration-Nazis/dp/1569802351 (http://www.amazon.com/51-Documents-Zionist-Collaboration-Nazis/dp/1569802351)  The book title is "51 Documents - Zionist Collaboration With the Nazis," written by Lenni Brenner.  He has full translations of all the documents he is presenting as evidence that Zionist worked with Nazis.

Quote from a reviewer: Finally, I think Brenner was right, when he wrote, "This book presents 51 historic documents to indict Zionism for repeated attempts to collaborate with Adolf Hitler. The evidence, not I, will convince you of the truth of this issue...Exposing the Zionist role in the Nazis era is part of the scrutiny of the past, required of historians."

Also, please explain you cryptic message of it no longer became profitable.   What no longer became profitable?  And how does that explain the moderation of Hitler's message over the course of two years between 1922 and 1924?  Does it have anything to do with German culture and society?  What made for different approaches between the Hutu in Rwanda and the Nazis in Germany in executing their respective genocides?   Considering according to the 1922 article Hitler wanted to implement a very similar plan as to what the Hutu eventually did do decades later.   Did the laws in Germany at that time make it illegal to advocate for genocide?   I am asking why and profitability doesn't seem to fit as an answer.

There was no money in outright killing Jews because then the other countries of the world would (mostly) cease relations with Germany and impose economic sanctions. Only after the war started did the concentration camps occur, and even before then the Jewish population was proscribed and (excluding events like Kristallnacht, which was encouraged by the State) was slightly protected, even though Jews were considered to be unpersons and it was more profitable to loot Jews via the Objekte system than to outright kill them.

Anyway, I've given you the answers I can give you on this subject. The Holocaust happened, there is a mountain of evidence for it, just like the Holodomor and the Armenian Genocide.

Title: Re: Holocaust Denial
Post by: libertylover on August 12, 2010, 11:23:26 AM
I have never said that the Holocaust did not happen.  I just wanted you to show the motivations or at least your take on the motivations that had it play out the way that it did.  Fear of economic sanctions is a very plausible reason even though most of the world was anti-Semitic at the time.  It would also explain the Nazis fake work camp set up for the benefit of foreign media. 

I still find the profit motive weak because in just about every other genocide the motto was a bullet is cheaper than keeping people.  It was that way with the Vietcong in their genocide of Cambodians and it was that way with Stalin.  The point to genocide is to replace the unwanted group with what was considered the desirable group and in a socialist system the desirable group would be exploited. 

I am contending an you are the one who is denying it seems that many Zionist leaders were helping the Nazis.  Zionist who did not care about the fate of European Jews.  Because those Jewish deaths helped to push along the Zionist political agenda.  It seems that is part of the Holocaust story which gets swept under the rug.

You are the racist.  Ever post you make is about how if you don't kiss ZIONIST ass and go along with their racist apartheid agenda some how you are a racist.

ZIONISM is not JUDAISM   ZIONISM is not JUDAISM   ZIONISM is not JUDAISM   ZIONISM is not JUDAISM   ZIONISM is not JUDAISM ZIONISM is not JUDAISM   ZIONISM is not JUDAISM   ZIONISM is not JUDAISM   ZIONISM is not JUDAISM   ZIONISM is not JUDAISM

As a ZIONIST you are a racist against Arabs and you defame Muslims at every chance you get.

Zionism is based on Judaic principles and is a philosophy held by the great majority of Jews and helped to found their state of Israel. Therefore, it is virtually one and the same.

Also, not all Zionists defame Muslims every chance they get. Muslims do a very good job of doing it themselves.

Lol.  Look at this nut, she's having an aneurism because a Jew is laughing at her!  I know I'm not a racist, nor are the vast majority of my Jewish friends.  Do you get her accusation that I defame Muslims every chance I get?  Do you see me doing that?  Because I don't.  I don't think Davi would think so either because he's of much more sound mind. 

If anyone is curious what a closet bigot looks like they need only look at "L.L." whose highly ironic screen name defames all anti-racists and freedom lovers.

Watch her defend the bigoted holocaust deniers some more, maybe she'll link to one of those cartoons from her favorite website depicting Jews with gigantic noses and long horned tails.

You need go not farther than the nearest mirror to see what a closet bigot looks like.  Yes you do defame Muslims.  How many times have you used the phrase of Islamofacism?   A word solely constructed to defame an entire faith.  You don't see yourself doing it because you are a racist that is why.

Revisionists object to the terminology, "THE Holocaust," which by implication suggests it was unique, monumental, over-arching, perhaps even the central historical event of our century if not epoch.

The Jewish Holocaust is merely one of them, and not even one of the more vicious ones.

But Blackie don't you know anyone who questions the official history is anti-Semitic automatically.  And if that person happens to be a Jewish authority at the Holocaust museum they must be a self-hating Jew.  And don't you dare question how a self-hating Jew got a job there in the first place as that would make you anti-Semitic.  Questions of physics and scope have no business messing with the agreed upon history.   By God if we say that a cake of soap is made out of human fat, it is made out of human fat cause only an anti-Semitic test kit would prove otherwise.  And that the clothing of the condemned towered upwards of 10 stories high without any structural support is not an impossibility to say otherwise diminishes the deaths of Jewish people during WWII.  Blackie you have to believe every single last detail as told or else you are this horrible racist person.  In fact simply by posting that article you are an Anti-Semite.

It's also certainly a Muslim principle to defame Jews. One of the Hadiths states, ""Judgment day will not come until the Muslims fight the Jews, and the Muslims will kill the Jews, and then the Jews will hide behind stones or trees, and the stone or the tree will say: Oh Muslim, oh servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him - except for the Gharqad, which is a tree of the Jews."

I was referencing Admiral Asshole with my first statement.  He defames Islam at every opportunity. 

Hadiths are oral traditions and not given the same validity as the Quran.  Most Muslims don't trust the validity of the hadith you quoted.   Also you are taking it out of the context of the few Muslims who do quote that hadith.  The context being Muslims that feel harmed by some Jews but not all Jews, why else would they include a way in which God protectes some Jews.  Shouldn't you be more angry at Christians their anti-Semitic Judgment day predictions are codified in their official Bible and not part of a disputed oral tradition.

Which leads me to this very excellent article that ties the current wave of Anti-Islamic activity and how it relates to the lead up to the Holocaust of Nazi Germany.  Just published July 21, 2010.

Anti-Islam rhetoric today bears a disturbing resemblance to past anti-Jewish rhetoric
Many books and websites clamor for our attention with claims that Islam:

    * is not a religion;
    * is of the devil;
    * seeks world domination;
    * and they also claim that Koran and Hadith teach hatred.

Often such claims are accompanied by images of  and quotes from Muslims or quotes from the Koran and Hadith that seem to support them.
 
These are the same claims made against the Judaism by Nazi propagandists in the 1930s and 40s.

    * is not a religion;
    * is of the devil;
    * seeks world domination;
    * and they also claim that the Torah and Talmud teach hatred

These propaganda materials are also accompanied by images of and quotes from Jews and from the Torah and Talmud that seem to support them.
 
Propagandists never tell the whole story, and what they do tell is demonstrably false misleading. Careful examination of the claims of propagandists, both past and present, demonstrates that they are engaging in logical fallacies, using selective partial quotes without regard to any larger context, or even outright misquotes, claiming the text says something it does not.   ....... http://www.examiner.com/religion-politics-in-miami/anti-islam-rhetoric-today-bears-a-disturbing-resemblance-to-past-anti-jewish-rhetoric (http://www.examiner.com/religion-politics-in-miami/anti-islam-rhetoric-today-bears-a-disturbing-resemblance-to-past-anti-jewish-rhetoric)

It would be safe to say, "Jews United Against Zionism," are as popular today as "Aryans against Nazism," were in 1930's Germany.   Eventually people will realize that Zionism is a racist philosophy of oppression.  But don't let me stop your little Zionist circle jerk.

In addition, if the quotation of something from the holy book of a religion is invalid in describing the religion, well, then why bother defending the adherents of that religion at all if you consider their holy books to be worthless regarding them?

No I did not Admiral ZioNazi.  So that is a big FAIL on your part.  I did not side with holocaust deniers you are saying that I did because I pointed out that they were anti-Zionist and did not say the Holocaust never happened.  You are the one who claimed they were Holocaust deniers it does not make it true just because in your bigoted ZioNazi mind you think it is true.  Again another FAIL on your part.

Dumbass the point it that Hadiths are not followed by all sects of Islam.  There are 73 sects of Islam.  The Sunni Hadiths are not all the same as the Shina Hadiths which represent the two major branches of Islam.  Also, you are quoting and interpreting the Hadith out of historical and regional context.  This is the same thing that the Nazi propagandist did against the European Jews. 

Quote
As Robin Wright says, “mining the Qur’an for incendiary quotes is essentially pointless. Religions evolve, and there is usually enough ambiguity in their founding scriptures to let them evolve in any direction. If Osama Bin Laden were a Christian, and he still wanted to destroy the World Trade Center, he would cite Jesus’ rampage against the money-changers. If he didn’t want to destroy the World Trade Center, he could stress the Sermon on the Mount.” Even if one doesn’t agree with this view, the point is that every religion-or secular ideology, for that matter-offers the possibility of violence and peace, oppression and liberation, depending on who is interpreting it, how, and in what particular contexts.

Do you really want your position to be that religious texts are written in stone and not subject to historical context or up for different interpretations?  If so then you believe the following justifies a death sentence. 

- working on the Sabbath (Exodus 31:15);  cursing ones parents (Leviticus 20:9): being rebellious towards parents (Deuteronomy 21); worshiping other gods (Deuteronomy 17:2-5 and 32:23-25); enticing a friend or family member to worship other gods (Deuteronomy 13:6-10);  being a witch, medium, or wizard (Exodus 22:18; Leviticus 20:27); engaging in homosexual acts (Leviticus 20:13); not being a virgin on one’s wedding night (Deuteronomy 22:20-21); having sex outside of marriage (Leviticus 20:10-13,1 Corinthians 5:5); violating the Sabbath (Numbers 15:35, 15:36);  marrying a foreigner (Numbers 25:6-9); becoming apostate or a heretic who dissents (1 Timothy 1:20)

If this isn't bad enough this religious text justifies genocide.
 
Joshua said to the people of Israel, “The Lord has given you the city of the all silver, and gold, and vessels of brass and iron, are consecrated unto the Lord: They shall come into the treasury of the Lord.  The people utterly DESTROYED ALL THAT WAS IN THE CITY, BOTH MAN AND WOMAN,YOUNG AND OLD, AND OX AND SHEEP, AND ASS, WITH THE EDGE OF THE SWORD. (Joshua 6:21,23)

What a horrible intolerant barbaric religion that must be that I am quoting from.  Surely the people who follow that are backward evil people with no concern for humanity.  Oh, wait I am quoting from the Judo Christian Bible.  (For the stupid I would like to point out I am being sarcastic.)   I wish this point would be crystal clear in that twisting any religious text out of context in some sort of attempt to place the followers of that religion in a bad light is dishonest.  Because it ignores questions of context, history and interpretation.

If you're trying to convince me that Christianity is a pointless religion that has caused lots of destruction in the world, well, I was already convinced of that.

Likewise, why is it that there doesn't seem to be anything resembling "human rights" in Muslim countries, and why are "Islamic Republics" usually brutal dictatorships?

Add a total lack of reading comprehension to your bigotry Admiral ZioNazi.  "twisting any religious text out of context in some sort of attempt to place the followers of that religion in a bad light is dishonest.  Because it ignores questions of context, history and interpretation."  By any religion I am including Christians, Muslims, Buddhist, etc.. etc and also Jews as well.  Sad that you don't know what the word any means.

My point wasn't to add to your anti-Christian bigotry but to point out that all religions can be propagandized against. 

Human rights violations are not exclusive to Muslim countries there are many countries with Human rights violations and dictatorships.  On the list of the worst dictators in the world the leading one is a Catholic, Robert Mugabe.   There are a number of Muslim countries that don't even make the top twenty dictatorships in the world and this is even after the American bias is applied.  To say all are dictatorships is another misrepresentation.  And some would have been dictatorships regardless of the religion due to having a royal family in power for centuries. 

It has been my point all along that people who wish to harm can find some sort of justification in their religious texts.  It does not mean that they are being honest about the context or real meaning it is simply being used as a tool.   And propagandist do the same exact thing.

Why is the death penalty legal anywhere?  Israel and America both have the death penalty.  In America there are any number of horrible forms of execution that can be used.  Why is there a death penalty in some Asian countries for simply selling and possessing Marijuana?  Just because something seems culturally justified in one place doesn't mean it is so in another.  There are places where people would consider any death penalty uncivilized.  Are they morally superior to the people in America, Asia, Israel, or places that still practice a strict interpretation of Sharia law?

You haven't answered my question.

Do you consider it right for a culture to practice public stoning of women who have been raped, or killing apostates?

And by the way, I do agree with the death penalty, but only in very rare cases like a serial murderer, a serial rapist (frequently the same thing), or terrorists against civilian targets.

And most Asian countries also come across as morally superior than those countries which practice Sharia law, yes.

Is English a second language for you?  I did answer your question. 

I don't consider it any more right than any place that practices a death penalty for whatever reason.  And there are many countries and even people in the US who agree with that position.  Do, I think we should send in Military forces killing thousands of innocent people to impose a cultural opinion on those places that practice a death penalty?  No, I don't because killing thousands of innocent people is not morally superior to those who still practice the death penalty. 

You also misinterpreted what I saying about moral superior attitudes.  I will put it another way for you.  Should I consider myself morally superior to you because I reject all death penalties as being barbaric?

That is because you are either a moron Admiral Zionazi or you are intentionally missing the point to be a troll. 

"Christianity is a pointless religion"  from you Zionist circle jerk friend.  How is that not anti-Christian bigotry?  By "we're anti-Christian and anti-Islamic bigots," if you are only talking about yourself and TimeLady then I will agree with your statement. 

You still FAILed to learn the lesson that the Holocaust and all genocides have taught.  That it is wrong to attempt to defame a religion with the intent of stealing from and murdering them for your own benefit.

Yeah, I forgot because Zimbabwe, North Korea, Cuba, China, Cambodia, Burma (Myanmar), Swaziland, Rwanda, Laos, Vietnam, Peru, Columbia, ect.... are all happy fun places with no human rights violations and horrible dictators simply by virtue of the fact they are not under Islamic law.   I am not a fan of Islamic law but I am not a fan of Napoleonic law, or Socialist law either.   There are countries which are barbarian shitholes that follow other legal traditions than just Islamic.  Just as there are countries which follow Islamic law that are not.  

The USA has never had a female President but several Islamic countries have had female leaders.
Quote
There are many more contemporary examples of women leading Muslim-majority countries. Remarkably, a majority of all Muslims in the world live in countries that have, at some time, elected women as their leaders.[4] Indeed, four of the five most populous Muslim-majority countries have had women as leaders:

    * Indonesia, the most populous Muslim-majority country, elected Megawati Sukarnoputri as president[5]
    * Pakistan, the second most populous Muslim-majority country, twice (non-consecutively) elected Benazir Bhutto as prime minister[6]
    * Bangladesh, the third most populous Muslim-majority country, elected Khaleda Zia[7] and Sheikh Hasina as prime ministers
    * Turkey, the fifth most populous Muslim-majority country, elected Tansu Çiller as prime minister[8]

See also: List of the first female holders of political offices

Women still face many pressures as political leaders.[9]

Some Muslim women hold important positions in some governments, political parties and corporations. A paradoxical example is the banned Islamist party of Morocco, Al Adl Wa Al Ihssane (Justice and Charity). Since the leader cannot speak openly, his daughter Nadia Yassine is the one who publicly defends the opposition to the Mudawana, government-sponsored reforms on the legal status of Moroccan women.

The countries which follow ancient interpretation of Sharia law are also Monarchies or Dictatorships.  They are no worse than any of the dictatorship, monarchies or communist countries I listed which are not Islamic .  And in fact some of them are better places to live than non-Islamic counter parts.

I would defiantly prefer living in Kuwait over Zimbabwe.  Kuwait is the 5th riches country in the world.  I had a female teacher friend that taught at a woman's college there and she loved it.  Pictured below is the horrible oppression of Kuwait City Mall. *said sarcastically* Do I need to point out that not all the women are dressed in burkas and forced to walk 10 paces behind their husbands.
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/67/The_Avenues_Kuwait.jpg/800px-The_Avenues_Kuwait.jpg)
So why do you run off and enjoy the hyper inflation, death squads and mud huts of Zimbabwe.  You will be secure in the knowledge that it isn't a Islamic country following Sharia law.

The point is you have somehow convinced yourself Authoritarianism is exclusive to Islam or somehow worse under Islam.  No, Authoritarianism is crappy regardless of the religion or even lack of religion involved.

Why wouldn't I go to one of the existing Christian churches already in Kuwait?  The Lighthouse Church http://www.tlckuwait.com/new/history.html (http://www.tlckuwait.com/new/history.html)

Also there are plans to build a new Synagogue in Kuwait.  "The government of Kuwait had approved on building a new city called Madinat al-Hareer  or The City of Silk. A super mega-project that will host 1001 m high skyscraper. The super tall tower will include a Muslim Mosque, a Jewish Synagogue and a Christian church under a single roof."

Man they are just so evil.  It is probably a trick. LFAO  Why, cause according to you Islamic countries which have used Sharia law as a basis for their legal systems can only be oppressive shitholes.  FAIL
