Iran’s Ahmadinejad wants committee to investigate HolocaustMonday, 26th December 2005
Iran Focus
Tehran, Iran, Dec. 26 – Iran’s 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 Iran’s 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 Ahmadinejad’s threatening remarks against the Jewish state.

Interesting piece!
If Ahmandinejad's provocative verbal rampages continue a committee will be required to locate his dental records.
That article is very scary. I hope the right people are paying attention to those threats.
Someone's been talking to Mel Gibson's Dad again?

Do you wonder why these barely washed (bathe and change under-clothes once a week on average), throw backs of civilization cannot comprehend your ideas, your philosophies, your democracy, your logic, your proposals for a safer, better world - nor your lack of action against them?
And why they feel closer to and more comfortable with terrorists than with you and me or Westerners in general?
Get real folks and stop dealing with them as you would with your peers or compatriots. They are worlds apart.

Talk about a set of targets for turbination (as our FR buddy Sheik Yerbouty would say...bless him!)! Looks like a set of extras for the movie "Night of the Living Dead."
ROFL!
Iran’s Ahmadinejad wants committee to investigate Holocaust
In a related story, Ahmadinejad wants a committee to investigate World War II, as he believes it might not have happened. And he wants "New York" investigated as that large a city seems improbable to him, and the whole concept of space craft (he believes it's all a Hollywood mock up) and while at that, he wants "Hollywood" investigated to see if there is such a thing...
On our part, we want the story of an "ahmadinejad" investigated because we find it unlikely such an idiot could be elected to head a country.
Sick right? LOL!
Really! But it fits this Iranian Haman, for sure!
Soon to be "Night of The Glowing Mullahs"!
