Iran students denounce Holocaust denial (http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,3-2499938,00.html)
Dozens of Iranian students burnt pictures of President Ahmadinejad and chanted “death to the dictator” as he gave a speech at a university in Tehran yesterday.
Never has the hardline leader faced such open hostility at a public event, which came as Iran opened a conference questioning whether Nazi Germany murdered six million Jews.
One student activist said that the protest was against the “shameful” Holocaust conference and the “fact that many activists have not been allowed to attend university”. The conference “has brought to our country Nazis and racists from around the world”, he added.
It´s a tiny little voice among the deafening rah-rah of demagogic, beligerant rethoric coming from the cynical crackpots in charge; is this the voice of the Iranian youth at large? It must take a considerable amount of courage to come out like that, I hope there´s a much larger silent mass feeling the same. With time they´ll have the chance to stir their country away from the path the encroached fundamentalists are heading for.
Fredrick Toeben, an Australian who has served a prison sentence in his native Germany for inciting racial hatred, said: “Minds are being switched off to the Holocaust dogma as it is being sold as a historical fact and yet we are not able to question it. This is mental rape.”
Mental rape?, "Mental rape"!? I have no idea what this bozo is huffing, anyone care to translate?
He brought a model of the Treblinka extermination camp which, he said, he would demonstrate that the gas chambers did not exist.
How very cute, I bet he has another model of Treblinka with a tiny little oven and itty-bitty dolls to throw in for his own personal enterteiment.
