I just recieved a "chain "in memory" mail" that states that the UK is taking the Holocaust out of the history lessons in school because it offends the Muslim population who believe it never occured. We are supposed to pass it on..
For my part, I think that this is a ENORMOUS overgeneralization and who ever wrote the email is putting the words of Iran's leader, who stated that the Holocaust maybe didn't happen the way we think - or never happened, in the mouths of the whole of the Muslim community world-wide. This is the stuff that makes people hate ignorant Americans.
So....is this true? Is the GENERAL Muslim belief that the Holocaust never happened?
And quite frankly - I am not interested in the opinions people who either A) are not Muslim or B) who are uneducated about the Islamic faith in scholastic way. I have a BA in Religious Studies and don't really want to hear opinions of Christians, Atheists, etc.

Just because the "Arabs" sympathized with Hitler then, doesn't mean that they do now...also, so did many Russian Orthodox and Greek Orthodox followers in Eastern Europe, that doesn't mean we say today that ALL of the Orthodox followers believe that the Holocaust never happened!

Hmmm...I didn't think I said that I didn't believe that the Holocaust didn't happen, did I??
I just don't really want to hear a ton of ranting about Muslims and how terrible they "all" are. Thats all. And you see that alot in this section.
