Iran will hold a “conference” to investigate the Holocaust, in a triumph of bizarre Islamic cognitive dissonance. And to show how crazy they really are, they’ve invited Tony Blair. (Hat tip: Regime Change Iran.)

TEHRAN: Iran on Sunday called on British Prime Minister Tony Blair to attend its scheduled Holocaust conference in Tehran.

“I suggest it would be good for Blair to attend the Holocaust seminar or send some articles,” Foreign Ministry Spokesman Hamid-Reza Assefi told reporters in Tehran.

His statement was in reference to Blair condemning the scheduled conference as “shocking, ridiculous, and stupid.”

“Blair can hear here (in Tehran) issues which he cannot hear over there (in London),” Assefi said.

Assefi has earlier blasted Blair’s comments as “blind fanaticism” and accused the West of trying “to block a scientific research on the Holocaust claims and efforts to search for the truth.”
