Pakistan targets Holocaust to appease far-right anti-French Islamists

by

In a cycle that has now become commonplace among many far-right Islamic regimes, when an extremist group claims to be ‘offended’ by a Western country, he is speaking out against Jews and the Holocaust. In the latest incident, Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan has compared “negative comments on the Holocaust” to “abuse of our prophet” and called on Western countries to make criticism of the prophet illegal. Khan does not condemn the denial of the Holocaust; he met with leading Holocaust denier Mahathir Mohamad, the former prime minister of Malaysia.

The recent controversy began when the far-right Pakistani Islamic supremacist political party Tehreek-e-Labbaik in Pakistan launched protests against France, urging its citizens to flee the South Asian Islamic Republic.

The attacks on France are being invented entirely and are widely used in Muslim right-wing countries to encourage extremism. Turkey, for example, also attacked France last year, claiming that it had ‘insulted’ the Prophet, leading to several terrorist attacks in France. In October, a student at a French school lied to her classmates, claiming that a teacher had “insulted” Islam. . The teacher was beheaded. In response to the beheading, rather than condemning the attack, Turkey mobilized its extremists to attack France. Anti-French riots and protests took place in the Muslim world under the completely false claim that the “prophet was insulted.”

Returning to France, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan cracked down on the Holocaust last year. Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah also used Holocaust denial last year to return to France because he was not “sensitive” to religious sentiments. France has “persecuted philosopher Roger Garaudy, who wrote a book that questioned the myths of the so-called Holocaust,” he said. “Muslims have the right to be angry and to kill millions of French people,” said Mahathir, a former guest. at the University of Oxford, Cambridge and Columbia, where his denials and anti-Semitic remarks were made. The Iranian government has also urged Holocaust denial to return to Europe over insults against Muslims. In 2006, it was a cartoon contest of Holocaust denial in revenge for cartoons against Islam in Denmark. The cycle began again. Every time far-right Islamists are angry at Europe for insults, the Holocaust must be raised. Most far-right Islamic groups, rooted in the Muslim Brotherhood, openly deny the Holocaust. Imran Khan, a former cricket champion who was once married to a woman who was part of the Jew, did not actually acknowledge Holocaust denial in his tweet. He wrote: ‘I also call on Western governments that have banned any negative remarks about the massacre to use the same standards to punish those who deliberately spread their message of hatred against Muslims by abusing our prophet PBU. [peace be upon him]. The tone of his tweet, like comments by other far-right Islamic leaders, is to try to minimize the Holocaust – as he puts it, “negative comments about the Holocaust” – to return to European governments. European countries and their collaborators carried out the Holocaust; the same countries today are the countries where there are sometimes cartoons insulting to Muslims. It is unclear why Islamic right-wingers, who deny the Holocaust at home, always try to bring it about when they are offended by the same Western countries where the Holocaust is offended. These countries, like Pakistan, ban blasphemy at home, but do not and do not ban Holocaust denial. They claim that it is hypocritical of some European countries to ban Holocaust denial from banning insulting comments about Muslims, but they do not argue that they should also ban Holocaust denial in Iran, Turkey, Pakistan and Malaysia. They claim that Holocaust denial at home is ‘freedom of speech’. Malaysia’s former leader, for example, has been invited to many leading Western universities to pursue Holocaust denial. “Why can’t I say something against the Jews?” he asked Columbia University. He wanted his ‘free speech’ to attack Jews and the Holocaust, but then he complains about ‘free speech’ in places like France that make cartoons possible to insult the Prophet. None of the leaders, including Khan, Mahathir, Erdogan and Ahmadinejad, argued that Holocaust denial should be banned in their countries as well as blasphemy. Instead, their argument is that blasphemy should be banned in Europe and that they should have the right to free speech that denies the Holocaust. In general, the cycle of these groups to encourage Holocaust denial is seeing more offensive comments against Islam in Europe. It does not hurt the feelings of most people in Europe. Rather, it is aimed at Jews. This is because these groups are systematically anti-Jewish, and their interest is not in hurting the feelings of Europeans in revenge for hurt feelings regarding their faith, but rather in justifying the hatred of Jews as an answer. Pakistan’s Khan claims that extremists in Europe have conceded in Islamophobia and racist insults “to hurt 1.3 billion Muslims and cause pain.” The answer: Attack on the Holocaust, which extremists in Europe did to six million Jews. How the diminution of respect for the Holocaust returns to France or Europeans, where the denial of the Holocaust originated, is unclear. None of the far-right Muslim leaders ever acknowledged the Holocaust and respect for Jews, Jewish suffering or the genocide of Jews. They use anti-Semitism to respond to European insults against Islam. Pakistan claims that insults against Islam are tantamount to denial of the Holocaust, but it does not prohibit denial of the Holocaust. The only time Khan mentioned the Holocaust is to return to France and inflame his base at home, not to acknowledge it.
