Muslim dignitaries pay their respects at Auschwitz

How much longer are we going to have to be reminded of the stinking Holocaust? It’s been 70 years and one would think it happened yesterday. In the meantime, there are presently criminal governments annihilating their people all over the world with little fanfare. Yet more importantly, the same people who are bringing up ghosts from the past do not speak out against current-day crimes against humanity. I have nothing against Jews, but are their lives more valuable than those of other human beings? TGO

OSWIECIM, Poland – Dignitaries from the Muslim world are paying respects to the millions of Jews and others who were systematically killed in the Holocaust.

About 150 people, including the Senegalese president, former heads of government and Arab world ambassadors are traveling on Tuesday to the former Nazi extermination camp of Auschwitz in Poland to learn first-hand about crimes perpetrated there during World War II.

The mission is organized by UNESCO, Paris City Hall and a group aiming to fight anti-Semitism and fear of Islam.

It comes amid the recent upheaval in the Arab world that toppled a regime in Tunisia and is threatening Egypt’s longtime president, Hosni Mubarak, with whom Israel has painstakingly built strong ties.
