US Professor Commends Ahmadinejad
Posted by Dave Blount at February 8, 2006 6:51 AM
Lunatics of the Muslim and academic varieties may be closer than we thought to tuning in to the same depraved frequency. Arthur Butz, a professor at prestigious Northwestern University, has been telling both the American and the Iranian press that he agrees with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's absurd claim that the Holocaust never happened.
Professor Butz promotes his bizarre views regarding the Holocaust through a university-affiliated website. He asserts that the Holocaust was a "deliberately contrived falsehood" — all part of a Zionist scheme to create a Jewish state. On the topic of the maniacal Ahmadinejad, Butz bubbles:
I congratulate him on becoming the first head of state to speak out clearly on these issues and regret only that it was not a Western head of state.
It's not known whether Butz also agrees with Ahmadinejad that Israel needs to be "wiped off the map" (presumably with the nuclear weapons Iran has been busily developing), or if he will be submitting an entry into Iran's Holocaust cartoon contest.
