Ahmadinejad is no longer the president, the nuclear negotiations with the west are progressing – but Iran continues to deny the Holocaust: The Islamic republic’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has reverted back to his old ways and once against slammed the western world, while denying the Holocaust.
“Even countries that claim to have freedom set red lines on which they’re utterly strict. Does anybody dare talk about Holocaust in Europe? The Holocaust is an event whose reality is uncertain and, if it happened, it’s uncertain how it happened,” Khamenei said in an event in the northern city of Mashhad marking the Persian New Year’s Nowruz.

Khemeni called to “oppose western attempts for cultural invasion,” stressing an emphasis on freedom of speech. “Doubting the Holocaust is considered a severe crime. They prevent it, jail the defendant, sue him and claim they have freedom,” Khamenei claimed. “And they expect us to not defend our red lines about our beliefs?”
Unlike his predecessor Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who called the Holocaust “a myth”, the present Iranian President Hassan Rouhani condemned the “massacre of the Jews by the Nazis” to the American press.
In an interview with CNN in September, Rouhani acknowledged the Holocaust and condemned the Nazis’ crimes against the Jewish people.
“In general I can tell you that any crime that happens in history against humanity, including the crime the Nazis committed towards the Jews, as well as non-Jewish people, was reprehensible and condemnable as far as we are concerned,” the president said in the interview.
However, the official Iranian news agency FARS claimed that the Iranian president’s quotes were mistranslated. The agency claimed that Rouhani never said that there was a Jewish Holocaust.
In February, Iran’s Foreign Minister Mahmoud Javad Zarif called the genocide “a terrible and cruel tragedy that should never be repeated,” and was summoned to be reprimanded by the Iranian parliament soon after.

There are few historical facts that are better documented than the Holocaust.
Ironically the notorious German bureaucracy contributed much to that mountain of evidence due to the pedantic recording of pencil pushers in all areas of German society.
If he wants to doubt something he should doubt his ‘prophet’ Muhammed.
There is lousy historical evidence outside islamic scriptures that Muhammed even existed and yet this idiot believes that the sick ideology of a lunatic desert dweller is the pure truth.
I know, I know. There are many other religious figures whose existence cannot be historically proven BUT Muslims have a huge problem because the Quran claims that
a) The Jewish and Christian scriptures at Muhammed’s time were the true word of god.
b) The Jewish and Christian scriptures prophecied the coming of Muhammed.
but
c) There are no references to Muhammed in the Jewish/Christian scriptures.
d) The Quran is in massive contradiction with the Jewish/Christian scriptures.
e) From the huge number of archeological artefacts beginning with the dead sea scrolls, the scriptures before, at and after the time of Muhammed we can clearly prove that the Jewish/Christian scriptures at Muhammed’s time were basically the same that we have today.
This clearly shows that
f) The Quran refutes itself and therefore cannot be true.
g) From that follows that Muhammed was a false prophet.
There is much more other evidence like the ‘satanic verses’ proving that Muhammed was a false prophet.
So, even if Muhammed existed he was a false prophet.
This idiot Khamenei is willing to believe in a false prophet while doubting one of the best documented facts of history.
Just, mentally twisted.
