Advisor to Ahmadinejad: "The Resolution of the Holocaust Issue Will End in the Destruction of Israel"

Hitler had big plans for Berlin too. "Iran Holocaust Denial Conference Announces Plan to Establish World Foundation for Holocaust Studies – To Be Eventually Based in Berlin and Headed by Iranian Presidential Advisor Mohammad-Ali Ramin Who Has Said: 'The Resolution of the Holocaust Issue Will End in the Destruction of Israel,'" from MEMRI, with thanks to BG:

On December 14, 2006 the Iranian news agency IRNA reported, in English, that participants in the Iranian Holocaust Denial conference, dubbed "Holocaust: A Global Vision," had announced the establishment of a "world foundation for Holocaust studies" and unanimously appointed Presidential Advisor Mohammad-Ali Ramin as its secretary-general.

According to IRNA, Ramin said that "one of the plans of the foundation is to assign a committee to find out the truth about the holocaust [sic], and noted that its main office will be in Tehran, and that it "will eventually be transferred to Berlin, once proper grounds are prepared."

Ali Ramin was the subject of a June 15, 2006 Special Dispatch by MEMRI based on a June 9, 2006 article in the reformist online daily Rooz. It reported that during a visit with students at GilanUniversity in Rasht, Iran, Mohammad-Ali Ramin had discussed historical accusations against the Jews and questioned the Holocaust.

The following are excerpts from the Rooz article: [1]

"Throughout History, This Religious Group [i.e. the Jews] has Inflicted the Most Damage on the Human Race"

"On a visit to Gilan University, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s advisor Mohammad Ali Ramin said to a group of students in the town of Rasht: 'We Iranians are definitely not, and never have been, nationalistic, and we are not against any ethnic [group]. We certainly do not worship race, nor [are we] against any race, and we nave never perpetrated genocide. This is why Islam, which appeared and advanced [the notion of] equality among nations and among peoples, greatly appealed to us Iranians. We have accepted the [principle] of equality among nations since the days of the Achaemenids. [2] Antisemitism, therefore, has no place in our Iranian [culture]. I myself honestly fight for just treatment of Judaism. Ten years ago, [when] I first brought up the issue of the Holocaust in this country, my intention was to defend the Jews…

"'But among the Jews there have always been those who killed God’s prophets and who opposed justice and righteousness. Throughout history, this religious group has inflicted the most damage on the human race, while some groups within it engaged in plotting against other nations and ethnic groups to cause cruelty, malice and wickedness.

In these allegations, Ramin is working straight from the Qur'an. Then he adds in some ancient blood libel:

"'Historically, there are many accusations against the Jews. For example, it was said that they were the source for such deadly diseases as the plague and typhus. This is because the Jews are very filthy people. For a time people also said that they poisoned water wells belonging to Christians and thus killed them,' Ramin said.

[...]

"Ramin claimed that the Holocaust was the main reason why Palestine was occupied, while Israel was the main cause of crises and catastrophe in the Middle East. 'So long as Israel exists in the region,' he said, 'there will never be peace and security in the Middle East. So the resolution of the Holocaust issue will end in the destruction of Israel.'

Ahmadinejerk is a Seriously Pesky critter!

Israel has all the JUSTIFICATION it needs to take that Guy and his Gov't in Tehran out.

The Problem is NOT Israel . The problem is Islam and people who think the Jews should just lay down and let another Holocaust happen. People like Jimmy Carter and other Dhimmi's in the West ( The true Traitors). Israel has a right to defend itself and to live. If Iran and the Muslim world won't allow that to be , then nobody has a right to stop or Criticize Israel for doing what is being forced upon them.

We just can pressure with a call for the president of Iran to be charged with inciting genocide because of his speeches advocating the destruction of the State of Israel.

This maniac just doesn't know when to quit. He gives the impression that he believes the Holocaust never happened while simultaneously giving the impression that the Holocaust didn't go far enough. This monkey man and his minions need to be put in straightjackets and locked away for life-they have no business being out in any society, much less running a nation.

Throughout History, This Religious Group [i.e. the Jews] has Inflicted the Most Damage on the Human Race"more Iranian lies again the capacity of the Islamic Arab mind to lie itself never ceases to amaze us, in fact it's Muslims on jihad that inflicted more damage and hurt on the human race than Jews ever have. Just look in the millions killed over the past 1700 years in Allah's name all the temples in India destroyed or converted mosque even the taj mahal that was a Hindu Palace dedicated to Lord Shiva was just desecrated and turned into a Muslim burial site.
"Ramin claimed that the Holocaust was the main reason why Palestine was occupied, while Israel was the main cause of crises and catastrophe in the Middle East.
I have to wonder what RAMin has been smoking since the Muslim are forbidden to drink, starting just after the founding of the Jewish state the surrounding nations of the Arab league that includes Iran attacked to the new state of Israel well what was to become the IDF had very little arms no aircraft a lot of guts , very few had any military training except for Jewish veterans of the Allied armed forces from World War II but they kicked the Arabs asses. They were only interested in defending their people where Muslims were pissed off because Jews who they thought as dhimmi were rebelling Against their Muslim overlords and taking the reins of power into their hands, and the Koran gives one fate for dhimmi that rebel against their Muslim overlords and that being death, and seven times now the Muslim nations of the Arab League and tried to complete Hitler's genocide against the Jews in their own nations ones that used to have a large Jewish minority most of them are gone I wonder why But Iran's thug= in-chief is made sure that the people being invited to his conference were some of the biggest deniers of Hitler's genocide against the Jews like David Duke

muslim logic:

"...Had the Holocaust occured then there would now be no Israel or Jewish people -therefore the Holocaust did not happen..."

Having established this - the muslim now plan to perpetrate a true Holocaust.

Meanwhile Western "elites" turn deaf, dumb, and blind to this situation - !?

It is time for Western "elites" to step out of the way and let the majority (the rest of us) do what needs to be done. Defend ourselves against islam.

A popular Axiom/Question i think we have all heard before :

If Knowing what we know NOW about Adolf Hitler and what the Nazis did in WWII , and you could go back in time and Kill/stop Hitler BEFORE he became powerful and before he MURDERED Millions and Millions of People, Thus Preventing the War and saving countless lives........

Would you kill him?

Almost every person i have ever heard answer this Question gives a resounding YES to this Question.

Well here we are . Are we going to ask this same Moral Question AFTER Ahmadinejad Does the same things? Or are we going to ACT?

Are we going to look back with 20/20 hindsihght again, or can we take History's Lessons and stop the Tyrant NOW?

I fear for the True answer to this Question.

We must support Israel no matter what!

If I ran I Israel I would be thinking seriously of decapitating the Iranian nuclear program by dropping some ground penetrating nukes on their most sensitive nuke operations. 10 well placed nukes will take care of it. I doubt that an attack with conventional weapons will knock out Iran's nuclear program. I would also be thinking of turning Qom into a sheet of glass and wasting some key petroleum installations, ports, refineries

"Throughout History, This Religious Group [i.e. the Jews] has Inflicted the Most Damage on the Human Race"


I don't know which history books he has been reading but I would rank it right up there with Robert Jordan or Terry Brooks.

I had a teacher who was a doctor of historical philosophy focousing on technology through history. The Hebrew people, along with the greeks, set western civilization on the path we are now. Both for the same reason. Language and religion. The hebrew peoples language consisted of a finite alphabet (25 letters?) thus making it simple for anyone with the will to learn to read. The religion angle was that instead of the world being full of spirits G-d gave man dominion over the world.

Looking at that I believe that we owe the Hebrew people a great debt of thanks.

As for the greeks I do believe most people have learned about their contributions to western civilization.

They plan to found a Holocaust Studies Center in BERLIN -- there's no chance that the German government, with its tough laws on holocaust denial or any nazi-type opinions, would ever ever allow that. And yet the moron from Iran has even appointed a diector, and all. Makes you wonder if they are really so mad and delusional as to believe Angela Merckel will welcome them, or if they are just stupid and have no clue?
It also seems, I've heard, not sure if it was here, that Amhedinejad has been furious because of underground text messages going around in Iran making fun of his doubtful hygiene habits. Would be fun to assist in that, maybe letters to the Iranian embassies all around the world suggesting he take a bath before appearing on TV denying the Holocaust again?

What on earth did israelis do to iranians so that ahmadinejad hates them to that extent?

The shias are followers of prophet Ali ( a descendent of mohammmad) who was killed (in a very cruel way) in a place called Karbala by sunnis.

So each year to commemorate the incident, the shia muslims mourn Ali.

It wasn't the israelis who killed Ali, it was their fellow muslims.

So much about the muslim logic. (oops soory, they don't have any..)

The brave puppetmaster clerics and their mouthpieces can always hide in the bunkers they build with the money they steal from the Iranian people. Their diversified economy only exports oil and islamic revolution. They should spend their efforts and handouts they get on education not making war, oppressing women and jew research. For example, the Yasser Arafat Engineering School, the Ahmedinejad School of Fashion, Fine Arts and Trafficology. How about studying the effects of arranged marriages and intermarrying on society? There's plenty jew obsessed experts already to go around.

Sir Winston Churchill was fond of saying “those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it”. One wonders how many of the nearly 60 million lives sacrificed in WWII would have been saved if US leadership had heeded Churchill’s prescient warnings in the early 1930’s ("Hitler must go”).

History has shown again and again that decisive and resolute action taken sooner, rather than later, is what saves lives. When we, as the planet’s leading and most powerful democracy, no longer have the willingness to risk and accept sacrifices both in human and material terms, that which we hold dear will ultimately be lost.

Thank God for true leaders like Tony Blair and George Bush.

"This is why Islam, which appeared and advanced [the notion of] equality among nations and among peoples, greatly appealed to us Iranians."

http://answering-islam.org/Index/L/lying.html

Here are some "moderate" translations of the Quran explaining how islam is in fact a Religion of Peace and Equality, but only to fellow muslim men. I have seen many more harsh translations then these.

[48:29] Muhammad - the messenger of GOD - and those with him are harsh and stern against the disbelievers, but kind and compassionate amongst themselves;

[48:28] He is the One who sent His messenger with the guidance and the religion of truth, to make it prevail over all other religions.

[48:13] Anyone who refuses to believe in GOD and His messenger, we have prepared for the disbelievers a hellfire.

[8:65] O you prophet, you shall exhort the believers to fight. If there are twenty of you who are steadfast, they can defeat two hundred, and a hundred of you can defeat a thousand of those who disbelieved. That is because they are people who do not understand.

[8:67] You people are seeking the materials of this world, while GOD advocates the Hereafter.

Meaning it's better to die than to live on Earth.

[8:14] This is to punish the disbelievers; they have incurred the retribution of Hell.

[60:13] O you who believe, do not befriend people with whom GOD is angry, and who are hopelessly stuck in disbelief; they are just as hopeless as the disbelievers who are already in the graves.

[4:101] When you travel, during war, you commit no error by shortening your Contact Prayers (Salat), if you fear that the disbelievers may attack you. Surely, the disbelievers are your ardent enemies.

I have seen translations without the "during war" part.

[4:91] You will find others who wish to make peace with you, and also with their people. However, as soon as war erupts, they fight against you. Unless these people leave you alone, offer you peace, and stop fighting you, you may fight them when you encounter them. Against these, we give you a clear authorization.

Don't trust the unbelievers even in peace.

[4:76] Those who believe are fighting for the cause of GOD, while those who disbelieve are fighting for the cause of tyranny. Therefore, you shall fight the devil's allies; the devil's power is nil.

[4:69] Those who obey GOD and the messenger belong with those blessed by GOD - the prophets, the saints, the martyrs, and the righteous. These are the best company.

Only keep company with Cleric, suicide bombers, ect.

[4:57] As for those who believe and lead a righteous life, we will admit them into gardens with flowing streams; they abide therein forever. They will have pure spouses therein. We will admit them into a blissful shade.

They don't say may many spouces you get, I wonder where 72 came from.

[5:51] O you who believe, do not take certain Jews and Christians as allies; these are allies of one another. Those among you who ally themselves with these belong with them. GOD does not guide the transgressors.

I've seen translations that say not to take Christians and Jews in general as friends and protectors.

[2:2] This scripture is infallible; a beacon for the righteous;

The Quran cannot be questioned.

I could go on.

Ohara,

Somebody please take the other side of these statements.

Tony Blair and George Bush are held in checkmate.

Iraq is under sharia law.

The fight in Iraq is about who gains ultimate control, Iran or Saudi Arabia not whether or not they continue to have elections.

Blair nor Bush have or are likely to have any positive effect on the outcome of the war that Islam has declared on the west.

I'm still in my pessimistic mood, sorry.

Wow,,,, slow down here evil fella! So he is proposing another Holocaust against the Jewish people in order to prove that the Holocaust did not happen..

Well I think Israel has absolute full right to take him out, if necessary the country. Israel is not popular amongst the Muslims, if they take Iran out, they will having nothing to lose, they have a lot to gain. The rest of the World will respect them.

more unoriginal thoughts...:

The left is more afraid of Christians than Islam.

When you speak to a lefty about Islam the first word out of their mouth is 'but' and the second word is 'Christians', making an effort to change the subject to what they want to whine about.

The West no longer has a news service. It does have ,instead, a very triumphant propaganda machine.

The West will loose the War with Islam the day before it was scheduled to formally admits that there is such a thing.

Nancy Pelosi is only slightly dumber than Diane Feinsein... or did I get it backwards or is it a lot?

I really appreciate the links. The one on the holocaust allowed me to complete the picture.

I have been left puzzled about the muslim viewpoint, mostly due to lack of thought, but I had a Jordanian friend who made a big point of blaming the Jews for every. 'It's the Jews' he would say. I played along to see where it would go but he never said anything I could connect with. It all had the tone of pettiness. It didn't dawn on me that his viewpoint could be purely the product of brainwashing. Western naiveté at work.

Thanks again.

Posted by: betterpayattention [TypeKey Profile Page] at December 16, 2006 2:42 PM

This is actually relevant to the topic.

Muslims think long term and the word eventually was in the statement, I think it was at least. Since Muslims fully expect to control Berlin in our children's lifetime, that is if the Muslims allow them to continue breathing, it is not far fetched to think that this 'World Foundation for Holocaust Studies' could be headquartered in Berlin without objection.

Just another one of those negative thoughts that have been keeping me awake at night.

Serious question.. Does anyone know of a way that I can participate in something that might actually help our cause here? Something more than just bend every ear that will stand still and listen.

(betterpayattention post above)

...." journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step". (Chinese proverb)

I tend to take the long haul view.

The architects of the Cold War probably did not envision where that journey would lead. The contemporary view of the Korean War(to cite one example) was that it was not worth the 50K US losses...but in the context of history is was one of the numerous "dots" that ultimately led to the collapse of communism and the "Iron Curtain".

Islamic fascism has replaced communism as the threat of the 21st century. It is not unlikely that it will take a journey of many "dots" before victory is achieved.

As it nearly always is, unchartered terrain is fraught with numerous and hazardous unknowns that must be dealt with as they emerge. The notion that even a machine as well organized and powerful as the US can envision and plan for every possible scenario, in advance, is absurd. Such an approach if attempted, would almost certainly lead to the well-known “paralysis by analysis”.

That mistakes and errors in judgment in both Afghanistan and Iraq have been made is not in dispute. But these are just two of the "dots" enroute on a long and difficult road. Just as Truman and Hull did not live to witness the defeat of communism, it is just as unlikely that Blair and Bush won't be around when the West finally prevails over the jihadists.

I believe history will judge their "first step" in a favorable light, regardless of the outcome in Iraq.

ohara,

The trip to Iran was a nice gesture but it stalled and to quote the demorats themselves, 'cooler heads are now in charge' or words to that effect. These cooler heads will reverse any progress in a matter of weeks, or am I just not thinking strait?

Economics took out the morons in Russia, or do you really believe it was Korea? 50 years later, North Korea hasn't budged one inch. Are the old comrades really out of power? Putin isn't looking so good to me these days. Did you forget about Russia's new law that basically gives Putin the right to murder anyone that talks nasty about him or Russia? The 'fat lady' lost her voice?

By the way, thanks for taking up the other side. To defend my statement regarding Bush and Blair, I will point to the other more relevant issue of the birth canal. In my worst nightmare, Islam wins without firing another shot. This is the one issue from which I cannot find refuge. Help me out, take on that one for me. I need help with it, not a contest, I just want to feel better about the possibilities.

And by the way, I do not see the similarities between the Korean war and the Koran war :)

Simple...

Help purge the enemy of common sense...called political correctness.
Startwith yourself and your home, and work outward from there. It will help you think with a much clearer head and reach the most logical conclusions...as well as clear away all the cloudiness broughton by islamofascism and the islamofascist-friendly press who also adopts politicall correctness in everything it does and says...which is reason #1 people are so confused.

Comon sense over political correctness works every time it's tried.
