Radio Islam - Holocaust Denial

Holocaust Denial

Radio Islam denies the view of all scholars relating to the Holocaust, claiming that most of those who died were non-Jewish victims of typhus, and that many fewer people died than what mainstream scholars say. Their website claims that "ost people in the West generally accept the last Jewish/Zionist claim about the so-called "holocaust" without any challenge as if it were a "divine truth". This holocaust hoax has been bought and sold by educated and uneducated Westerners alike, whether they are from the far right (such as Christian fundamentalists), or from the so-called "moderates", or even from the far left (such as socialists and communists)."

They criticize the general public for tolerating criticism of political mistakes of the President, but not of denying a Holocaust took place. They claim the whole Holocaust was fabricated by Zionists, as a pretext for the establishment of an Israeli state.

Radio Islam also attempts to downplay the Holocaust by claiming that Jews were not singled out for any sort of special punishment and that their deaths should therefore be regarded as equivalent to any other victim of the Nazis. It claims the number of people that died in the Holocaust was actually around 240,000. It also denies the existence of gas chambers, and claims that the Nazis only ever used cremation for the corpses of victims of typhus and other infections diseases, as a method of epidemic prevention.

Radio Islam claims that its position is supported by "scholars and historians", citing Arthur Butz, a tenured professor of Electrical Engineering at Northwestern University who claims the Holocaust was a Zionist fabrication, as well as "father of Holocaust revisionism" Paul Rassinier, and former Lyon University professor Robert Faurisson, who has claimed The Diary of Anne Frank to be a hoax.
