Iranian Nutjob, Also the President

This guy is a true gem of the faith.
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has again attracted widespread condemnation after he denied the Holocaust and called for a Jewish state to be set up in Europe to replace Israel.

Ahmadinejad sparked an international outcry in October when he said Israel "must be wiped off the map", whilst speaking at a conference held by a Tehran student organisation called “The World Without Zionism”.

On Thursday he further cemented his position as one of the most controversial politicians on the planet after he doubted that 6 million Jews were killed in the Holocaust, and then insisted that a European state should become Jewish instead of Israel.

“Some European countries insist on saying that Hitler killed millions of innocent Jews in furnaces and they insist on it to the extent that if anyone proves something contrary to that they condemn that person and throw them in jail.” the IRNA news agency reported Ahmadinejad saying at a news conference he gave in the Saudi Arabian city of Mecca

“Although we don't accept this claim, if we suppose it is true, our question for the Europeans is: 'Is the killing of innocent Jewish people by Hitler the reason for their support to the occupiers of Jerusalem?'.”

“If the Europeans are honest they should give some of their provinces in Europe - like in Germany, Austria or other countries - to the Zionists and the Zionists can establish their state in Europe. You offer part of Europe and we will support it,” he added.
I don't think any commentary is really required. This guy makes an ass of himself with his own mouth.
