...he doesn't seem very articulate to me, "Holocaust"-wise.
Perhaps not ASMarques...
Its my guess he has only been introduced to the holo fraud for perhaps a couple of years. I don't really know. What I do know is Ahmadinejad has most probably viewed the videos 'Jailing Opinions', and Zundels documentary, 'Setting the Record Straight'. We can see Lady Michelle Renouf giving him copies here
http://www.jailingopinions.com/. Ahmadinejad never ceases to mention the imprisoned revisionists whenever he speaks.
We know he has seen the model of the Treblinka concentration camp Dr Toben took with him to Iran. Here
http://www.adelaideinstitute.org/2006December/model.htm. If Dr Tobin managed to explain somewhat about Auschwitz, then being an engineer, he may have chuckled over the little door that hundreds of thousands supposedly went in, got gassed, and came out again, yep, the same little door, that opened inwards. And that would be the case for Auschwitz 1 and 2. I'm sure he would have had a good laugh about that one. Dr Tobin seems to be in regular touch with academia in Iran, so they will be keeping the President informed.
Professor Faurisson has spoken to him more than once, along with other revisionists. He must know about Rudolf, he specifically mentioned 'scientists' in his UN speech.
They prosecute scientists and historians for stating their opinions on important global issues. And again, at Colombia
Bullying powers of the world confiscate science in their interests and with bullying attitude and do not allow scholars and scientists [to] enter areas in which disclosures of realities will reveal their real ill intentions.. Its great having science on our side, exactly the same as having God on our side, so who can ever overcome us? Yeah, the Prez must have a pretty good idea of whats what and whats not.
Like most of us, he may be overwhelmed with the chutzpah' of it all, and not fully convinced about the entire package. He believes in the goodness of all men so he will have trouble reconciling his belief with the fact there are amongst us such shysters, with such arrogance and gall. Shameful con men, outshining any charletan we ever saw on TV. It takes time getting ones head around it all, like being boggled by clever magicians and not willing to immediately believe what one has seen. Most folk do not like the thought they have been duped, so they will not allow themselves to believe it all immediately. But after quietly thinking about some of the more ridiculous points, like that little door, the light turns on and another head is cleared of darkness.
Like most of us, he probably does not want to say something that may bring a questioning response he feels he may not be able to answer with any sure confidence and knowledge. I know after thirty years of holo denial, I'm still learning something new most days. Usually from you guys here at the forum, but elsewhere also.
I think he is sticking to things he knows are crystal clear, and can never be refuted, like the imprisoned revisionists. Heretics because they belive the science and not the holo dogma. He surely realises those involved with their imprisoning will be so ashamed of themselves they will not be able to gainsay without reaping what Bollinger reaped, worldwide approbrium for his disgraceful conduct. I have NEVER heard one peep from any holocauster to Ahmadinejad over the imprisoned revisionists. Not once, yet Ahmadinejad never fails to push the point. What could they say anyway?
I don't have his patience and would probably blow myself up in self-destruction the moment I opened my mouth. So I think he's doing a great job ASMarques.
As far as
And he does preside over an authoritarian religious regime. Yes, "where there are men in prison [or worse: for instance, in Iran the penalty for apostasy is death] being punished because they had the temerity to question..."
Well, is that any different to what is going on in the good ol' USA today? Well sure it is. At least those in Iran are charged with something, even if we do not agree with the charge. The USA, and others, did not even have the balls to press charges against the revisionists. They bundled up innocent men, guilty of nothing, and sent them off as heretics to what we Protestants once called the DARK AGES, in Europe. There is nothing new under the sun. I guess the Americans, like Pontius Pilate, could now wash their hands and say, "look we are clean, we have done nothing wrong". Tell me ASMarques, who has the greater sin?
There was no holocaust.
Tit 1:14 Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth.
