Irans Ahmadinejad wants committee to investigate HolocaustMonday, 26th December 2005
Iran Focus
Tehran, Iran, Dec. 26 Irans hard-line President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad who recently called for the destruction of Israel and termed the Holocaust a myth has asked for a committee to be set up to prove that the massacre of some six million Jews in Nazi Germany never took place.
The Fars news agency, which is close to the office of Irans Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, said that Ahmadinejad had proposed the idea after his comments calling for Israel to be moved to European countries such as Germany and Austria drew international outrage and United Nations Security Council condemnation.
Mohammad-Ali Ramin, who heads the state-run body Society for Defending the Rights of Muslim Minorities in the West, told Fars that Ahmadinejad wanted European governments to permit Western scholars to publish their research on the Holocaust.
Ahmadinejad wanted the committee to clarify the real extent of the Holocaust, according to Ramin, who added that the radical President had the support of hard-liners loyal to the Supreme Leader.
Senior officials inside the clerical establishment including Khamenei himself have backed Ahmadinejads threatening remarks against the Jewish state.

I hear Iran has hired BAGHDAD BOB to do the investigation.
why doesn't this Ahmadinejad guy just go back to reading the quran and leave foreign policy to more mature people?
Yep, I think that will be his fate too.
He'll be eating radioactive hummus for breakfast lol.
I hope Iran has an exceedingly GOOD air defense system. They're going to need it.
I think most already know the outcome of this 'investigation'.
The Holocaust did take place, but it was all a Zionist plot to kill themselves.
MIHOP or LIHOP?
The questions burning in everyone's minds are:
1) Did Hitler have WMD?
2) Could diplomatic efforts have avoided WWII if Roosevelt had not acted so rashly?
3) Were the Japanese really to blame for the attack on Pearl Harbor, or was it the natural reaction to American imperialism?
4) Would the Japanese have surrendered anyway, without Hiroshima?
5) Why did the Jews not show up for work on the day Hitler invaded France?
This guy is like having Farrakhan as Pres here. Shudder.
I'm sure Germany will offer plenty of help.
First, I don't hate Iran. Just it's leaders.
Second, exactly what "back up" are you asking for? Source?
