We speak this week to the Libforall founder and CEO, Holland Taylor,
and asked him why they decided to hold a very public event in a Muslim country, specifically to challenge Muslim holocaust
denial.
Earlier in the week, you may have read about a conference on the Indonesian island of Bali, at which a Czech Holocaust
survivor gave a moving address to a multi-faith conference, attended by many Muslim leaders.
It was designed at act as a counterweight to the recent Iranian Conference which maintained that A) the Holocaust didn't
happen, B) it did happen but it was nowhere near as bad as those pesky Jews keep saying, and C) it did happen but Hitler
didn't do a thorough enough job so now the Muslims have to finish it for him.
But at last week's conference, held on the mainly Hindu island of Bali, Indonesia's former president, Abdurrahman Wahid,
also known as Gus Dur, denounced Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad for branding the Holocaust a myth. The meeting was
organised by the Libforall Foundation
In the news this week we look at the chaos in Gaza as Hamas seize control and kill anyone they don't like the look of. We
mention the following post from the Blacktygrrrr blog. The sound clips are, of course, from the film Lawrence of Arabia.
