Prominent Bangladeshi Calls For Extermination of Jews

Not only was Mohammad Asafuddowlah a prominent politician and business leader in Bangladesh, but he's a newspaper editor and gets to set the agenda and tone in political circles.

Apparently his version of peace and mine differ sharply. He prefers the peace that comes as the result of genocide and the annihilation of all Jews on the face of the earth:

A former senior official and newspaper editor from Bangladesh told a television audience last week that Adolph Hitler should have been more thorough when it came to the Jews. The TV host seconded the opinion.

As reported by the editor and publisher of the Weekly Blitz, peace activist Salah Uddin Shoaib Choudhury, Mohammad Asafuddowlah said, "My soul bleeds when I recall the recent atrocities against the people of Gaza. And if I was a young man, I would have gone to Gaza with a weapon to exterminate Israel."

It is not just Israel's extermination Asafuddowlah seeks, however. "Now I believe that what Adolph Hitler did during the Holocaust was absolutely correct. He should have done this more extensively, to eliminate the total Jewish population from the world," he added.

Abdul Hye Sikder, the host of the TV program on which Asafuddowlah appeared, reacted to the genocidal statements with agreement, echoing the sentiments. Sikder, Choudhury reports, was at one time a leading activist of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party.

Assafuddowlah has been described by Bangladesh's New Age newspaper as "one of the finest civil servants of Bangladesh and a personality crowned with many qualities." He served in the public sector for 35 years, as chairman of state-run corporations and director-general of various government ministries. He was also the editor-in-chief of The Bangladesh Today, a leading English-language daily.

And he's got lots of people who agree with him.

These are the same people who would also declare that the Holocaust didn't happen or that the number of Jews murdered wasn't as high as claimed. The Holocaust revisionism goes hand in hand with the calls for a renewed genocide against the Jews and to finish the job of Hitler and the Nazis.
