@Puresomalilander:

Actually, in Africa Christianity is the largest religion, and in Australia the second largest religion is Buddhism, not Islam. Also in Australia, Europe and the Americas, the demographic of non-religious is much bigger than Islam, and grows much faster. Not that it really matters, as being a large religion does not make Islam any less of the rotten, destructive and vile death cult founded by a pedophile caravan robber whom you call "prophet", than it is.

@77Merav Thank you very much for the interesting article. I enjoyed reading it. PS. Sorry for my late reply.

[77Merav]

:)There is an article which called:"The Psychological Satisfaction of Denials of the Holocaust or Other Genocides by Non-Extremists or Bigots, and Even by Known Scholars", which explain why "respectable" academicians doing it.

these Scholars responsible for many perversion ideas which lead to atrocious deeds de facto.

@77Merav

You're so right. Inviting a terrorist-supporting and genocide-supporting "scholar" to a reputable university is just sad. Bernard Lewis' speech at Hebrew University and Ahmadinejad's speech at Columbia University shows how fascists like these two are allowed to express themselves freely.

[77Merav]

Bernard Lewis also denies the Armenian's

Holocaust which executed byTurkey in the beginning the twentieth century!

[MowjeSabzV]

According to the German historian, F. William Engdahl, Bernard Lewis is the person who proposed the idea of introducing radical Islam as a weapon against Soviet's influence in Asia. The idea was to create an Islamic Green Belt (buffer zone) near the Soviet-Afghan-Iranian-Paki borders. In Afghanistan, Brzezinski (he implemented Lewis' plan) installed, financed & armed the Taliban. In Iran, Khomeini replaced the Shah through a hijacked revolution. In Pakistan, Zia-ul-Haq replaced Bhutto in a coup.

[MowjeSabzV]

For those who don't know, Bernard Lewis (British Svengali Behind Clash Of Civilizations) is the person who proposed the idea of replacing the Shah of Iran with the fanatic Khomeini. He is the person who introduced radical Islam and Islamic terrorism to Afghanistan, Iran and Pakistan. This cockroach (Bernard Lewis) also wants to tear up my country (Iran) into 6 different pieces (Bernard Lewis Project). How pathetic of this scumbag to talk about Islamic terrorism and, at the same time, promote it.

Actual lectures don't begin until 22:51 (Bernard Lewis) unless you want to bore yourself with preliminary bullshit.
