This is about holocaust. Holocaust, quoting from Wikipedia defined as the genocide of approximately six million European Jews during World War II, a program of systematic state-sponsored murder by Germany, led by Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party, throughout German-occupied territory. Six million Jews consisted of one million children, two million women and three million men.

But, many people until now still argued, from the number of victims to the definition and facts of the Holocaust itself. Some said, Holocaust shouldn’t only concerning Jews, but also other nations who also became the victims of Nazi Hitler. They were Romanians, Polishes, Russians, and many others. Their numbers approximately reached eleven to seventeen million deaths. They died in Nazi’s concentration camps before and during World War II.

Other question, was it true that Hitler has ordered genocide to the Jewish? Because, to massacre six million people, they needed a large amount of funds, while at that time they were facing great wars which also needed great funds.

Next, if Hitler was valid on instructing genocide to Jews, then for what reason? Were there some Jews considered to be threats to Germany Nazi’s existence, while at that time they did not have a state or strong military? Then, the question is was holocaust a myth or real?

Such questions let be answered by the historians. What is clear now, Holocaust has become an object taken advantage by the Israelis, especially the leaders of Zionist. They have made tragedy of Holocaust as their tricks on drawing world’s attention, felt pity on them and show the world that they were merely the victims. That they were a nation needed to be helped and supported, including the establishment of Israel state even though they have to occupy Palestine’s home land.

What I delivered about Holocaust above was not the focus of this article. What I want to underline was how influential Jewish lobby thus making them empowered to insist Western countries on issuing laws about Holocaust which called Gitto Laws. Which was, anyone who denied Holocaust tragedy (Holocaust Denial) will be considered as anti-Semite and will be imprisoned and fined. European countries owned such laws were France, Poland, Austria, Switzerland, Belgium, Romania, and Germany.

A number of scientists, quoting from related sources, have become the victims of the laws. An Australian researcher, Fredick Toban, imprisoned for six months when he rejected Holocaust. Toban said, "In Europe, everyone can condemned the Holy Jesus and Maria, but cannot criticize Jews and Holocaust."

Other scientist who became the victim of Gitto Laws was Robert Forison. "Until today, they cannot answer our argument about Holocaust tragedy validity, but attack us instead by dragging us to court, giving sentences, and torturing." said France and England nationality Forison.

Forison was dismissed from his lecture in Lion University on 1978 as a result of his questioning on Holocaust and rejected gas chamber existence which he wrote on his book "Gas Chamber: Fiction or Real?" "We, the Holocaust adversaries, have never given rights to publish and distribute articles and books. They banned our books and prohibit their publishing abroad."

Ernes Zundel and the late Roger Garaudy were other examples of scientists who became the victims of holocaust laws. Garaudy, a French, has dragged to court after he published Israelis Politics of Development Myths book, which also questioned Holocaust.

I don't question the laws about Holocaust. What I am jolting is why Western countries are not applying blasphemy laws, all religions, just the way they have Holocaust Denial laws? To those who insult, harass, tarnish any religion will be sanctioned just the same as those who denied Holocaust.

Because, as long as blasphemy laws still not enforced, it can be sure that such movie as "The innocence of Muslims", cartoon harassing Islam, and other things insulting religion will occur then reoccur. It also can be sure that mass protests will take place around the world. Then, the victims will be more than death, but also the relationship between Muslims and the West will be deteriorate which only enrich international terrorism. Don't let democracy and freedom of expression made people acts recklessly whatever they want, including insulting, harassing and tarnish religion.
