Iran Claims to be Holocaust Neutral
by John Little on 11/12/2006Racism, bigotry, and religious hatred continue to fuel stupidity in Iran. Of course, this won’t impact Israel or any serious academic work. It’s just more propaganda for the homefront and another way for them to confront the West that doesn’t carry any consequences.
“We do not intend to deny or confirm the Holocaust. If the occurrence of the event is officially questioned, the identity of the Zionist regime will also be put under question,” he said.
Pointing to Iran’s ancient history dating back centuries before and after Islam, he said there has been “no document unearthed proving Iranians to be racists in general and against Jews in particular because Iranians have always had great respect for divine religions.”
“There has never been a battle against Jews in Islamic territories. A look at history will show that several Jews have been senior officials of Islamic governments.” Mottaki said new approaches to studies on history and analyses of historical events are realities of today.
“Those who had been accepting historical narratives as irrefutable truths now doubt them. They refuse to believe the narratives until they are confirmed as facts,” he said.
