@Med911

I believe he was protesting the fact that in the west, people are generally discouraged from questioning the holocaust, not denying it out right. Agree with him or not, but stifling those who question the holocaust, regardless of their motives, is a contradiction of the very thing the West has come to espouse, the right to free speech.

It is not clear to me why Ahmedinajad would worry so much about this specific issue - is he so concerned about the rights of the people quesioning the holocaust?

In what way does the west stifle folksk who question the holocaust? Personally, I think those who question the holocaust are ignorant, willfully or otherwise. But I have not seen any punishment meted out to people who question the holocaust.
