Where the Nazi " Big Lie " endures

Dear Dr. Pipes,

I am reminded of the words of Sir Winston Churchill, which very succintly sums up the attitude and approach the Nazi propagandists during the WWII. He said:

" During wartime, truth is so precious that it has to be surrounded by a bodyguard of lies."

In the denial of the holocaust of the Jews, or the Hindu holocaust under muslim rule, we are seeing the same strategy at work by those who shamelessly collaborated with the perprators of the worst crimes inflicted on humanity. While at Nuremberg these elements were meted out their just desserts, who is to deal with the modern day von Leres, who faithfully try to imitate their erstwhile Nazi masters? The only point is that while Sir Winston had spoken of the resort to lies and dis information to be undertaken during war time, the islamists have chosen to wage this propaganda war during peace time.
