"Muslim Institute Dares Iranian Leader To Visit Auschwitz"

It appears that not all Muslims are buying Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's assertion that the Holocaust is a myth.

BERLIN -- A Muslim cultural institute in Germany on Monday criticized Iranian President Mahmud Ahmadinejad for disparaging the Holocaust, daring him to visit the Auschwitz concentration camp.

"In this place of horror he can again deny the Holocaust, if he has the courage," a spokesman for the Islam-Archiv-Deutschland Central Institute told the German Catholic press agency KNA.

In recent statements, the hardline Iranian president has dismissed the Nazis' systematic slaughter of mainland Europe's Jews as a "myth" used to justify the creation of Israel and called for the state to be "wiped off the map".

By denying the Holocaust, Ahmadinejad not only denigrated the Jewish victims of the genocide but also the 200,000 Roms and Arabs murdered in the "gypsy camp" of Auschwitz-Birkenau and other camps, the institute spokesman said.

Ahmadinejad is pretty tough when it comes to standing behind a podium and preaching to a crowd of like-minded Jew haters. I doubt, however, that his bravery will extend to situations of open debate, such as might take place on the steps of Auschwitz.
