The Holocaust: Denial & History
The Nazi Holocaust claimed the lives of between 5 and 6 million Jews between 1939 and 1945. Since then, a small group of Holocaust deniers have lied about and minimized this history by deliberately manipulating historical evidence as part of an ideological and racist agenda.Learning Tools: Myths & Facts
Holocaust deniers freely distort the historical record in order to justify anti-Semitism, racism and fascism. These tools help the novice and expert alike analyze denier claims and refute them with historical evidence including primary-source documents and both Nazi and survivor testimony.Irving v.

Controversy at Harvard: Muslim Chaplain Suggests Death of Muslim Apostates?, May 2, 2009
For the past two weeks a controversy has been brewing at Harvard as reported by the Harvard Crimson. Recently it has also been covered in the [url=http://www.forward.com/articles/105042/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=Email marketing software&utm_content=70937682&utm_campaign=May 8, 2009 _ ttuhii&utm_term=Harvard’s Muslim Chaplain Embroiled in Death-for-Apostasy Controversy]Forward.

In short, the Muslim chaplain, Abdul-Basser wrote the following to a Muslim student:great wisdom (hikma) associated with the established and preserved position (capital punishment [for apostates]) and so, even if it makes some uncomfortable in the face of the hegemonic modern human rights discourse, one should not dismiss it out of hand.”In the Crimson article a number of Muslim students were quoted as being quite critical of his stand. He claims that he has been misinterpreted and was not saying that he supports death for converts from Islam. It's hard how to see otherwise, particular in light of his comment about "hegemonic modern human rights discourse."
He, of course, is free to have any religious view he wishes. It is just disturbing to think that this is the point of view being imparted to students.
