Hey, maybe you missed my question. It was was the word support meant to you. You’re accusing them of supporting the Armenian genocide. What they seem to be doing is saying that it’s controversial whether it’s a genocide.

See, I think holocaust deniers are shitty people, but I also don’t think they’re supporting the Holocaust, mainly since, y’know, they’re denying the Holocaust. It’s actually pretty hard to support something you’re denying.

I’m happy to call them to account for their views on the Armenian genocide— while there may have been controversy in the past, I think the bulk of academic opinion is that it was a genocide by almost any workable definition.

And as to them opposing the memorial to the Holocaust, they said:

“We reiterate the British Muslim community’s unequivocal denunciation and condemnation of the Nazi holocaust against Jewish and other non German communities before and during the Second World War.”
