Ostaad Obviously you didn't read caefuly

you write:

Mazloom, you're dead wrong about the what Ahmdinejad or his ilk would
have done. It is not in the DNA of Iranians to be genocidal, Iranians
can be many things but genocidal is NOT one of them

This is one of my problems of communicating with you. You don't read CAREFULLY to what I write. 

All throughout my posts here, I have always distinguished between the Iranian people and the dogs who rule them . Notwithstanding, you might want to explain to me, if your claim "it is NOT of Iranians to be genocidal" (your exact words), why the same Iranians chant "Marg marg be-esrail (death to Israel), Isn't akhmage-nejad who claimed to be speaking on behalf of the "mellate' Iran", expressing their wishes and desires. 

In regards to rest of your essay. I am sure you have heard that expression, "show me your leaders, show me your  associates, and I will tell you exactly who you are".  You also oblivious that, myself had lived in Tehran, and endured it first hand the type of Islamic "tolerance" of which you are talking about.

anonymous fish already had addressed the rest of your non-sense about Fatwas from Khomeini. No need to add.

The Europeans need need thier noses to be rubbed in the...

Holocaust at every opportunity. They would have done the same to the Moslems in Europe today, if it were not for the constant reminders by the Jews. Although the Zionists have abused the Holocaust to their benefit, but it has also serverd the purpose of keeping the Europeans in check.

Mazloom, you're dead wrong about the what Ahmdinejad or his ilk would have done. It is not in the DNA of Iranians to be genocidal, Iranians can be many things but genocidal is NOT one of them. That's the real reason why Iran is still home to the largest Jewish population of the ME outside Israel. Don't forget Khomeini's first fatwa was to ensure the protection and constitutional rights of the religious minorities. Iranians had nothing to do with the Holocaust and it was never the reason why the Jews are living a peaceful life in Iran just as they have been for more than a couple of thousand years.

smhb - get a life.

You miss the  whole point. The mention of the Holocaust is NOT designed to "satisfy the Jews". Rather, remind each new generation, the horrible consequences of blind hate between mankind. It is intended to remove the chance for ever happening to ANY group. Since Jews are highly educated, and have the cause and the ability to publicize this warning, they do it.

Go and get a life mister.  You are not that shallow, and dumb wit, are you?. Just remember that, Farsi group in Iran make up only 60% of the Shi'ite in Iran, themselves make up only 12% of Muslims.

I don't wish it to anybody. BUT Farsis, being a minority, of minorities, distinct group, with different language, with long heritage as Jews have. So you see, they could face the same fate by the hand of the 88% Sunnis as Jews had faced, You know it an I know it, given  the virulent 1300 years of hatred between these two major sects, and this despotic Regime's actiivities vis-a-vis its Arab neighbors, this is not a far fetch possibility.

I wish to god, there would similar "Holocaust Memorial" to the Cambodian, the Armenians, the Darfur. Had they also been able to do the same, I assure you, thugs like the Akhmagh in Tehran would not repeat his garbage on holocaust denial as he does. Calling for yet another attempted genocide against group of people who had done nothing to him, or his country.
