Dr. Ahmed Al-Raissouni, Head Of The International Union Of Muslim Scholars Which Was Founded By Sheikh Yousef Al-Qaradawi In Dublin: Questioning The Holocaust Is Not Just A Right But An Obligation
MEMRI, May 23, 2019
Story continues below advertisementOn May 22, 2019, Dr. Ahmed Al-Raissouni, head of the International Union of Muslim Scholars (IUMS), posted an article titled “Why It Is Necessary to Question the Holocaust” on the IUMS website and on his personal website and Facebook page. In the article he claimed that the Holocaust has acquired an “exaggerated halo” and that questioning its veracity and scope is not only a right but an obligation. Listing ten reasons to justify this view, he stated, inter alia, that the Holocaust narrative, fabricated by the Zionist movement, has been sanctified and imposed on the world, to the extent that there are “campaigns that slander, intimidate, exclude and besiege anyone who dares to think independently about it or about any of its fake details or statistics.” Moreover, the Holocaust narrative consists of claims that are “politically slanted and questionable” and many of which cannot be verified, he said. He called to subject the issue of the Holocaust to scientific scrutiny, free of all exploitation, threats and intimidation.
The IUMS was founded in 2004 in Dublin, Ireland by Sheikh Yousef Al-Qaradawi, who also headed it until recently. Al-Qaradawi, who is considered to be a major ideologue of the Muslim Brotherhood, resides in Qatar and has been supported and sponsored for decades by the Qatari regime. The IUMS under his leadership promoted an extremist discourse, including rhetoric against Jews and Christians and encouragement of jihad and martyrdom.[1] This Ramadan, a Qatari daily published a series of religious lessons by Al-Qaradawi, including one in which he claimed that the Jews opposed Allah and He therefore transformed them into apes and pigs, and that the Christians were afflicted by ideological blindness and strayed from the path of righteousness.[2]
It should be noted that the IUMS is supported not only by Qatar but also by Turkey. In an interview Al-Raissouni gave on Al-Jazeera in November 18, 2018, shortly after he replaced Al-Qaradawi as the head of the IUMS, he revealed that Qatar has supported the organization since its inception and that Turkey now funds it as well, and said: “There is nothing wrong with that and we don’t hide it. On the contrary, we are proud of it and we urge all the countries to follow in the footsteps of those two.”[3]
The publication of Raissouni’s article at this time may be linked to a video posted a week ago on the Facebook and Twitter pages of AJ+, one of the channels of the Qatari Al-Jazeera network. The video, which was translated and publicized by MEMRI, claimed that the number of Jewish Holocaust victims remains “one of the most prominent historical debates to this day,” and that Israel benefits from the Holocaust more than anyone and uses Nazi justifications to annihilate the Palestinians. [4] Following MEMRI’s exposure of the video and the uproar it caused, Al-Jazeera removed it from its websites, suspended the employees responsible for its production, and published an apology stating that its content contravened its editing principles.
However, MEMRI’s years-long monitoring of the Qatari media reveals that these media, chief of them Al-Jazeera, serve as a platform for disseminating antisemitic messages.
The following are excerpts from Al-Raissouni’s article on the topic of questioning the Holocaust:[5]
Al-Raissouni’s article on the IUMS website (left) and on his personal website (right)“From my earliest youth and my very first years in school, I had a deeply-seated [notion] that the late German leader Adolf Hitler hated the Jews, persecuted them, tormented them and acted to purge Germany of them, especially during the Second World War, when the so-called Holocaust took place, involving the death of millions of Jews. I believed this and nothing caused me to doubt or question it. But when I discovered that this issue has a malicious, exaggerated and steadily-growing halo of sanctification, pressure and intimidation, I started wondering and questioning, until I came to doubt the entire affair. Today I am certain that we must be skeptical and subject this notion to a scientific reassessment, free of all exploitation, threats and intimidation. The reasons it must be questioned and investigated are the following:
“1. Because the narrative of the Holocaust, as shaped and disseminated by Zionism, has become sanctified and has been forced on the world.
“2. Because any [attempt to] question or verify this issue has been banned and is suppressed using penal laws and prosecution.
“3. Because several European historians and thinkers were persecuted and prosecuted, and their writings were banned, just because their views differ from the Zionist narrative and because they pointed out the weaknesses [of this narrative].
“4. Because some people who lived through the events [of the Holocaust] deny many of its details, which can neither be confirmed nor refuted.
“5. The Holocaust religion is also protected and shielded by means of campaigns that slander, intimidate, exclude and besiege anyone who dares to think independently about it or about any of its fake details or statistics.
“6. Because it is the only massacre that is marked globally, unlike the other, genuine massacres of millions of people that have been and are still being perpetrated against so many peoples and sects around the world.
“7. Because most truths – [including] the one most sacred to nations, namely the existence of God – are denied freely and with impunity, whereas in the case of the Holocaust, nobody may doubt even its details, for this is considered a political, legal and media crime.
“8. Because Allah the Almighty said [in Quran 2:256]: ‘There shall be no compulsion in religion. The right course has become clear from the wrong.’ So how can we accept compulsion in the case of historical truths that are politically slanted and questionable?!
“9. Because the opportunity to discuss this issue, which exists today in some countries, such as Morocco, may not exist [in the future], so there is need to seize it and cement it before Zionist pressures eliminate it.
“10. Because doubting, questioning and reassessing [claims] is one of the rights of every free individual, which serves the freedom of research, thought and expression.
“Let me conclude with a shining example of proud free thinking that rejected coercion, pressures and bargaining. In the 1930s, France tried to solicit fatwas encouraging Muslims to receive French citizenship, so it could proclaim Algeria a province of France. The most prominent scholar [France] tried to enlist was the learned sheikh ‘Abd Al-Hamid bin Badis… When he heard the French [request], he said: ‘Even if France asked me to say ‘There is no God but Allah’ for its sake, I would refuse. So how could I possibly oblige it by issuing a fatwa about nationalizing [Algerian Muslims]?!”

It’s not islamophobia when they really do want to off you.
The threats posed by Islam and its adherents are quite real. Phobias are irrational. Nothing irrational about fearing an ideology that seeks to destroy the civilization that your ancestors have been building for 3000 years.
Our government betrayed us by allowing islam to be identified as a religion.
islam is NOT a religion of peace, a race nor one of peace!!
islam is a sick and twisted terrorist ideology that is completely incompatible with western civilization!!

I hope that you all noted that in the ten points outlined in this article above, none of the points is supported by a single fact of consequence. As usual, the Arab mentality takes liberties with the truth, notwithstanding there are numerous pictures taken during and at the end of WWII that speak directly to the horror that was committed by the Nazi’s, and probably by its allies, the Islamic’s. There are many books written by survivors and historians that cover what happened in serious detail, none of which has a Zionist slant. The Arab mentality never admits to the written fact that its own Islamic books contain direct references and directions that establish the hate and violence built into their beliefs. These people are using time which has about ended the lives of those who experienced the grief of pre-WWII and during WWII to now create unsupported claims that the Holocaust should be questioned, All of this triggered by Islamic beliefs and the creation of the state of Israel. The fallacy is all intended to benefit the Arabs., and I am thankful that we have pictures today, and statements from those who lived thru the abominable times related to the Nazi’s attempt to rid this planet of those of Jewish persuasion.

Just on a point of historical accuracy, very few of the Nazis on trial thought they had done anything wrong and only a few of the leading Nazis received punishment. Thousands of guilty Nazis involved in the Holocaust were never prosecuted and went on to live out their lives often quite successfully in fact.

These people are stupid and viciously anti semitic. Scholars they are not but vicious propagandists! How can the Holocaust not have happened if the Germans themselves admitted their guilt? Germany has paid millions in reparations to Israel and individual victims, they have not done that for a myth! These so called scholars would do better investigating the myths of the “palestinians”. BTW the Germans were great record keepers.
I recommend the works of Victor Klemperor.

This is nothing new. Denial of the Holocaust has been a staple of the Iranian regime since its inception. Qatar is a satrapy of the Iranians, closely allied and controlled. In The USA the Institute for Historical Review formed by the infamous neo-Nazi Willis Carto has been in existence since the 60’s together with his now-defunct front the so-called “Liberty Lobby, “Carto created a multi-million dollar propaganda empire based on Holocaust denial and hatred of the Jews that to this day infects US politics.

Two faced Lindsey Gaham is arming them behind Trump’s back.
South Carolina is becoming home to a quiet Qatari military aircraft project
Jordan Schachtel · March 5, 2019
The nation of Qatar, a tiny Gulf state known for its vast energy riches, tiny indigenous population, slave labor economy, and, of course, its troublesome connections to international terrorist organizations, has commenced a massive but under-the-radar spending spree in South Carolina. Through Barzan Aeronautical, a subsidiary of the Qatar defense ministry-controlled Barzan Holdings, Doha has targeted South Carolina as the location for a major military aircraft initiative. The state is home to several Qatar-friendly politicians and defense industry heavyweights.
Senator Lindsey Graham has held several face-to-face meetings with high-ranking delegations from the $320 billion Qatar Investment Authority (QIA), which has pledged to invest billions into the state. Over the past couple of years, Graham has emerged as one of the major pro-Qatar voices in the Senate. He routinely takes to television and other media platforms to repudiate Qatar’s regional adversaries, while bolstering its allies. The top donor to South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster’s recent successful gubernatorial campaign is a major Qatari lobbyist. Between 2017 and 2018, Imaad Zuberi, a lobbyist who represents the ultra-wealthy QIA, shelled out over $50,000 for McMaster’s campaign, according to campaign finance reports. Zuberi told associates that his donations to Republicans were a way to pay for further access to politicians, according to The New York Times. …

Thanks for the intel. I’ve often wondered about the wisdom of placing military assets in Qatar should war break out with Iran. I hope Trump is prepared to seize control of the country at the first sign of war. I recall my grandfather relating how the US staged a coup in Panama in 1942 that replaced the pro-Franco government with a USA friendly government so as to protect the Canal. We must take similar actions in Qatar.

al Husseini was the bridge between the Muslims of the day and the Nazis. He is the father of the modern jihad we see all around us. After the war ended, he continued to foment Juw hatred up until his death. My favorite website called tell the children the truth used to describe in detail all of it. But they got blocked somehow by the Muslim Brotherhood and now it’s gone!
Husseini & the Hanzar……sounds like the name of a band…

Yes, if you are a brazen, despicable, low-life liar and Muslim taqiyya expert, then lying about the holocaust is an obligation. General Dwight Eisenhower was right when ordering as much film evident as possible of the holocaust, as if predicting Muslim scum would come along and deny the evidence.
