To re-inforce his statement from last week, we have the following via Reuters: Iran’s Ahmadinejad says Holocaust a myth
Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on Wednesday that the Holocaust was a myth, triggering a fresh wave of international condemnation.[…]

No kidding, not the first time. Good to see the religion of peace at work again.
