Only chicken connection here is 'Ku Klux Klan' if you repeat it quickly ...
"In fact, Ahmadinejad has not denied the Holocaust or proposed Israel’s liquidation; he has never done so in any of his speeches on the subject (all delivered in Farsi/Persian)."
Shiraz Dossa.
"Izzat so then? Really? Let's see about that ..."
David Wilson.
Hairsplitting over exactly what was said in 2005 ... those with one axe to grind see it one way, those with another see another, etc. Shiraz Dossa appears to me to be a childish whiner, albeit with some letters after his name. False humility (shown in his university homepage) does not make judgements, but it gives clues. He is a doting father apparently - can't be all bad then eh? He has not been fired, and I for one am glad of that (though how he got tenure is another question).
Ideological tempest in a teapot. The last letter-writer to the Globe came closest to a balanced view, in my estimation. 'Nuf said.
