There has been absolutely no mention of this in US media, but according to the Islamic Republic News Agency, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad had a special meeting with US Muslim leaders—at which he denied the Holocaust.
Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Monday that the US has turned to a large prison where the media are keeping the American people away from truth.
Addressing a group of US Muslim leaders, he said Holocaust was a pretext for occupation of Palestine and making over 5,000 innocent people homeless.
On dispute between the Shia and Sunni Muslims in Iraq, the Iranian president said there is no difference between the real faithful people. The differences between Shia and Sunni Muslims have been created by enemies, he added.
As to the issue of nuclear energy, he said, “We are against nuclear weapons. We do not accept it and even believe that the big powers should be disarmed of nuclear weapons.”
Who were these “Muslim leaders” he met?
And why doesn’t our media do its job? Clearly, they’re more concerned with their careers, and political correctness, than with informing the public about important issues.
This is of a piece with the disgraceful performance of the National Press Club yesterday, whose president smiled and laughed along with Ahmadinejad, asked questions without having the research to back them up, and never followed up on a single issue.
