I mused in my previous post whether the Holocaust denial in certain Muslim quarters and the violent reaction by Muslims in many parts of the world to the Danish cartoons might not prompt moderate Muslims to feel freeer to speak out in dissent.
Would they not feel even more motivated to differentiate their world view from that of adherents to Islamicism, i.e. reactionay Islam.
Such seemed to be the situation in the case of the "Manifesto," which , as I have noted was signed by a number of self professed moderate Muslims.
Such also seems to be the case, according to Deutsche Welle, among certain Muslims in Germany who are distressed by the Iranian presidents outright Holocaust denial. http://www.dw-world.de/dw/article/0,2144,1907670,00.htmls

Via journalist-blogger Omid Memarian, Ahmadinejad's predecessor Khatami: "We must acknowledge that the crimes committed by Germany's Nazi regime were a massacre of innocents, including a great number of Jews."
The same blogger reports on the Iranian government's desire to send investigators to Auschwitz.
