The asinine media commentators

By Freethinker

At long last, Aamer Liaquat Alim Online (aka Jaahil Online) has caught up on the ‘Holocaust hoax’ conspiracy theory. Of course conspiracy theories are a staple when it comes to the Jang newspapers, and our columnists also love to lay bare the nefarious lies of the Jews, so you can just imagine what a disappointment it was for me to have to wait so long for a good Urdu read on ‘the Holocaust hoax’.

Well, our slick-haired, smooth-tongued Aamer Liaquat has done a commendable job on accomplishing no less than a classic in Urdu conspiracy theory writing. Entitled ‘Yahoodi Dramay Holocaust’ (Roznama Jang Lahore, 21st Nov, pg.8), the column starts by arousing the reader’s sympathy for all those denizens of truth who, for speaking about the Holocaust, can actually be imprisoned in the West! Of course he doesn’t need to actually come up with a figure of how many actual arrests of this nature have taken place, apart from the one he mentions of that of none other than the great historian Washington Irving.
