61. WE DONT CALL A MAN LIKE MAN UNLESS
Atilla Karagözoğlu ,   Istanbul   (12.06.06)
HE DOESNT CARE HIS OWN KIDS. WE CALL MAN LIKE MAN, WHO THINK ABOUT HIS KIDS MORE THAN HIS DIRTY DREAMS. BY THE WAY, WE RULE. WE BORN TO RULE. WE STAY WITH WHO STAYS STRAIGHT. ANY QUESTION ? Atilla Karagözoğlu
62. #59 You missed the point Hani
Diana the Huntress ,   USA   (12.06.06)
There have been many holocausts in history but the only one Yuckmadinjad elects to deny and mock is the Jewish holocaust. This is how he hopes to unify the Arab world. As an Arab, you don't seem to have a problem with his message or intent. Perhaps there are a few seats available at this conference and you can represent Canada. If 6 million Arabs were murdered by a genocidal fanatic like Ahmadinejad, I'm certain you would not be asking Arabs to "get over it".

I KNOW WE GOT A LOT RADICAL ALSO. BUT ITS TOO EASY MAKE THEM LOST, when we want. Lets Love and Respect eachother. Lets peace wins in our hearts. Atilla Karagözoğlu
64. Mohammed-Holocaust not parallel
Joe Shmoe ,   UK   (12.06.06)
Dear Cleo, There is no parallel between attacks on our religions and denials that mass killing has taken place. Better parallels: are attacks on Mohammed allowed where attacks on Moses are not? and if we can question the Holocaust why not question the martyrdom of a million Iranians in the war with Iraq?
65. "The Jews in Iran live in peace with other Iranians"
David ,   London   (12.06.06)
"The Jews in Iran live in peace with other Iranians, since the time of King Koresh and following the onset of Islam. As such, I think the Iranian nation can be a neutral judge on this issue, since it doesn't have a predetermined side." This is not true. I saw a BBC documentary a few months ago which told of how the Jewish population was and is still discriminated against.
66. Ludicrous
(12.06.06)
I think that sums it up.
67. No. 49, Khalid
NYC Girl   (12.06.06)
Okay, Khalid. Here's the deal. While the Nazis killed many non-Jews, it was only Jews, homosexuals, and Gypsies who were murdered for what they were...not just for what they believed. In most cases, those other murders were politically-motivated, while the extermination of the Jews was racially-motivated. It meant that even if a Jew were to embrace Nazism, he was still considered to be a Jew and, therefore, racially inferior. And as far as I know, there weren't any Italians who were murdered because they were Italian...or Catholic, for that matter. Not only that, but Hitler wasn't content just to rid Germany of its Jewish population. With the help of Nazi-sympathizers like Haj Amin al-Husseini, and others of his ilk, even the Jews of the Middle East were in Hitler's cross-hairs.
68. Was Mohammed a real prophet?
Albert ,   NY   (12.06.06)
In the name of free speech, Iran should also hold a conference on whether Mohammed was a prophet or a sex maniac and child molester. Was the Koran inspired by G-d or all made up by Mohammed? We have the right now. LEt's have an open mind, shall we?
69. hani
juliana   (12.06.06)
Hullo Hani, be easy on Atilla, he is just expressing himself on a Jewish web site like you always do. i Know if were where u live you would do harm. but hey its a free world to express whatever.
70. Who honestly cares what this monkey thinks
Tam   (12.06.06)
We give him too much power by making him think that we care as whether or not he believes the Holocaust happened. He's a third world dictating ape who's not deserving of our attention.
71. tea man
Tam   (12.06.06)
"what is the holocaust I read" You're going to learn soon enough when Hezbollah has complete control of your country. Sweet dreams.
72. Excellent idea Steven
Tam   (12.06.06)
I think a conference needs to held as to whether or not Islam is really a religion and if it is, is it really peaceful as so many declare.
73. Albert, my friend
Atilla Karagözoğlu ,   Istanbul   (12.06.06)

74. Is he THAT mentaly challenged he can't see the difference?
(12.06.06)
"Why do European governments allow insults to the prophet Mohammad but aren't able to handle arguments regarding the Holocaust?" And we thought Bush wasn't the brightest?!
75. Attila: Quit preaching and keep your day job!
Hani ,   Montreal   (12.06.06)
Oh..And take a few English lessons buddy! Your posts don't many any sense at all! (Not to mention they sound cheesily pholosphical!).

77. answer for #23 tea man
Gilan ,   Yerushalayim, Israel   (12.06.06)
According to Wikipedia: The word holocaust originally derived from the Greek word holokauston, meaning "a completely (holos) burnt (kaustos) sacrificial offering", or "a burnt sacrifice offered to a god". In Greek and Roman pagan rites, gods of the earth and underworld received dark animals, which were offered by night and burnt in full. Holocaust was later used to refer to a sacrifice Jews were required to make by the Torah. But since the mid-19th century, the word has been used by many authors to refer to large catastrophes and massacres, particularly those caused by immolation. Referring to the Second World War, in the years following, writers in English tended to use the term in relation to events such as the fire-bombing of Dresden or Hiroshima, rather than the Nazi genocide. The term was also regularly used to refer to the destructive consequences of nuclear war. It was not until the late 1970s that the Nazi genocide became the conventional meaning of the word, when used unqualified, and with a capital letter. The 1978 television miniseries titled "Holocaust" and starring Meryl Streep is often cited as the principal contributor to the current usage.[1] The term is also used by many in a narrower sense, to refer specifically to the unprecedented destruction of European Jewry in particular. (END QUOTE) So it's of Greek origin. But today, particularly when written as "the Holocaust", it usually refers to the systematic murder of more than six million Jews by the Nazis and their allies.

78. It's like killing all over again!
enzo ,   london,uk   (12.06.06)
We want the names of all those attending the conference!!! It is imperative to know who they are! Anyway...any intelligent human being will not give a damn about this conference. I'd like to write more on this. I'd like to express my anger, but can't find the right words! I refrain from using vulgarity, but I really really find this offensive, insulting and humiliating!!!

Atilla Karagözoğlu   (12.06.06)
Look, Albert did ask a very important question ! But, you Arabic guys always bussy with wrong points. Atilla, aka ATTILA is a Lonely Wolf, He has not problem just with you guys, he has war with whole humanity in fact. He has been waiting for an order from some place you dont even know. So, stop having fun on that poor Donkishot Atilla :), just try to protect your believe. I have no wish to fight. I fight with Ladies, are you one of them ? Atilla Karagözoğlu
80. Dangerous people in the world....
DR ,   Florida, USA   (12.06.06)
Anyone who denies History, especially soemthing as grave as the holocaust, is dangerous to the world. Trying to erase the worst act ever only shows how delusional this little monkey is. And for people like Hani who support this crazed man I say, shame on you. Your children will look back and wonder how you got this closed minded and brainwashed.
81. To Hani
Anna ,   Canada   (12.06.06)
Your parallel between Jewish Holocaust, Red Indians and Palestinian Arabs makes me cry. Do you really believe Jews are to blame in the situation in PA and Gaza? Your hatred is so deep that you are never trying to analyze in your head why Hamas and other fractions can not create the coalition Government? Look at Knesset: even after the traitor’s visit to Syria some Arab MKs, the Jewish state gives them a chance to sit in Knesset and to make the laws of Israel! The holocaust of Jews is drugging its feet for the centuries. And Hitler made the biggest and the most successful attempt on the discrimination of the Nation. If you will talk about Gypsies, Armenians, Sudanese in Darfur, I would say: he is an objective. But you don’t.
82. to vny a#50 and tam @71
tea man ,   marjayoun lebanon   (12.06.06)

83. Here comes my second comment!!!
enzo ,   london,uk   (12.06.06)
I was far too polite in my previous talkback! But something in my heart brought me back here again. I only want to say this: F*****g Iranians! Don't play with History! History will haunt you for ever!!!
84. this short guy gonna kick your asses ! :)

85. Stop feeding Iran while buying its oil!
Anna ,   Canada   (12.06.06)
They don’t have anything else to sell. The conference on Holocaust could happen only because the representatives of the 30 countries are willingly participating in this shameful event. More to say: The identities of 67 participants are not revealed, and the free and open atmosphere will host Jews and some rabbis but not even one Israeli. We don’t need the names of these Rabbis. We know they don’t believe Israel has rights to exist. They are close partners of Ahmadinejad. Does anyone can believe the conference will be objective and historically honest? The world’s greatest powers have to unite and to cut all economical contacts with Iran. We can survive without their oil.
86. Re: 65
sean ,   buffalo, ny   (12.06.06)
Please give a country where there is no discrimination (for and against) Jews. I can't think of one...
87. Anna My Dear
Hani   (12.06.06)
The very Knesset you are praising hosts fanatical MKs like LIEBERMAN who has openly called for the mass "transfer" of Palestinians from their homeland. HAMAS and every sane Palestinians sees the settlement expansions since 1991 and one would conclude Oslo is a trick. Israel is not interested in peace, and it's going to be Jihad until liberation. Just look at the case of the Education Minister who wants the 1967 lines back in geography books - she is being called a traitor...For what? staring at reality in the face!
88. #67
patrick ,   Quebec (Canada)   (12.06.06)
What a great and intelligent answer NYC girl! I would like to add something to what you said: Jews and all European Jewries were murdered because of their race (racially-motivated as you pinpointed it so well). We can suggest to all the Shoah deniers the reading of Hitler's trash book "Mein Kampf" (written by his personal secretary Rudolf Hess in 1924). And I will conclude by saying that the Shoah was implemented INDUSTRIALLY and scientifically (mass-murder) and that was the first time EVER in the human history that it happened that way! The comparison with the killings of millions of Red-skin people in North America (within a span of several centuries) which is an ethnocide and definitively NOT a genocide, is purely null and void.
89. tea man say thank you Gilan
