An Iranian press--Martyr Shahbazi Publications--will soon publish Farsi and English-language editions of a book that "deals with the 'big historical distortion' of the Holocaust...."
...English and Arabic editions would be published at a ceremony in Tehran later this month when a message from Ahmadinejad would be read out. It appeared to be translations of a book which official media in September said had been published about the "fiction" of the Holocaust. "The presentation ceremony will be held on January 27 ... with the attendance of a number of government officials," Mohammad Mehdi Hemmati, who is involved in the project, told FNA. The Islamic republic news agency said in September the book had 52 caricatures plus satirical writings over 108 pages. It was published by and the Islamic student movement of the Science and Industry University. Iran staged an international competition and exhibition of cartoons about the Holocaust in 2006. That contest was held in response to cartoons published in Denmark that were deemed anti-Islamic, officials said.
Maybe Iranian TV can develop a Holocaust sitcom--a "Hogan's Heroes" approach to life in Auschwitz? No, that's not right. I'm sorry; it never happened. It wouldn't be a sitcom; it would be fiction.
Ahmadinejad. Hamas. Why would anyone in this country want to associate themselves with these lunatic anti-Semites?

I'd watch the shit out of that. Haha, I kid, I kid.
ReplyDeleteOr do I?
By the way, what do you think about our own secular liberal fifth column? I think they're at least as dangerous an enemy, and the problem is we can't excise them like we can Jihadism. We're all secular liberals to one degree or another. And who wants to excise that bit of himself?
The only times we've tried it have ended with the death of yet another little bit of Western tradition in fiery atrocity and (rare, justified) left wing condemnation. We can only really fight Jihad by becoming, in some small way, Jihadists (or Crusaders, or Fascists, or Nazis). Is it worth it? What's left of the Western tradition if we discard liberalism? What will be left if we don't? Ah, the conservative's dilemma.
