Muslim leader addresses biennial

The president of the Islamic Society of North America vowed to combat Holocaust denial in the Muslim world.

Ingrid Mattson delivered her promise Dec. 16 at the closing plenary of the Union for Reform Judaism biennial in San Diego. Mattson compared hateful images of Muslims in the media with the dehumanization of Jews by the Nazi propaganda machine that paved the way for the Holocaust.

“This is one of the greatest tragedies of modern history, and ISNA will witness to this truth, anytime and to anyone in the Muslim world who denies it,” Mattson said to a standing ovation. — jta
