The issue in question was not Holocaust Denial, and Ahmadinejad is not part of this conversation. This was about the accusation that the Daily Mail, which is far from the most respected British newspaper, created a sensationalist headline followed by a story that got the facts wrong. The sensational
headline has been quoted in countless emails that never seem to stop. The University of Kentucky and the Holocaust Trust in London sent us emails telling us what was going on.

If you want to discuss Islamist fanatics, that's one thing. And Ahmadinejad is not the problem. He is losing power daily.  In Iran this week, they have been running a series on TV about the Holocaust and most Iranians agree and know that the Holocaust is reality. Students at the unversity there stood up to
him last year and told him he was wrong when he spoke on their campus.
 
You can Google the Children of Teheran, and see how Iranians saved Jewish lives during the Holocaust.
 
But if you are interested in Holocaust denial, I suggest you read the book by Drs. Alex Grobman and Michael Shermer. It's called Denying History.
 
Perhaps one person in the Middle East who should be asked about Holocaust Denial is Mahmoud Abbas of Palestine. His doctoral thesis is about Holocaust denial and he has never, ever said whether or not he still believes in his doctoral thesis. In the meantime, the PA, Hamas, and the Wahabis are
printing and disseminating The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, information about Holocaust denial and spreading hatred, not just of the Jewish people, but anyone who is not like them, including Muslims of other denominations--like Shia and Suffi, Animists and others. 
 
Everyone is a target, and everyone who is not like them must die. That philosophy is what threatens a British teacher in Sudan this week who allowed children to vote and name a teddy bear. They chose the name Mohammed. And therefore, thousands of Sudanese Muslims went screaming into the
streets and demanded she be killed.  As it is, she was arrested and jailed. And these are the same Sudanese politicians and religious leaders, empowered by the Chinese and extremists, who are committing the genocide in Darfur-- and I bet if we look hard, there must be some oil where Darfurians
used to live. 
 
We have enough to worry about in this world without fabricating garbage about England and the University of Kentucky that only makes things worse.  Responsible journalism is appreciated. It is necessary.
 
Click on the above links. Holocaust education is mandatory in England. The University of Kentucky teaches the Holocaust and Jewish Studies. This is an internet phenom that has gone haywire, and people want to believe it--because it is sensational, it causes problems and it creates fear.
 
And nothing in this world sells the news like fear.
