Paris France - French President Nicolas Sarkozy issued a strong condemnation of new remarks from Iranian leader Mahmoud Ahmadinejad denying the Holocaust.

"The president of the republic condemned the remarks made today by the Iranian president questioning the reality of the Holocaust," a statement from the Elysee said.

Sarkozy had told Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki during a meeting in Paris that such comments were "unacceptable and profoundly shocking," the statement said.

The hardline Ahmadinejad, who is seeking a second term in office, reiterated today his anti-Israel stance and called the Holocaust a "big deception."

He also accused the world's liberal democracies of degrading "human values" with their pro-Israel policies.

"The identity of the liberal democracy has been exposed to the world by its protection of the most criminal regime in the history of humanity, the Zionist regime, by using the big deception of the Holocaust.

"There is no doubt that the only way to replace the liberal thought is to go back to the teachings of the divine prophets," Ahmadinejad said.

Sarkozy, in his Paris meeting with Mottaki, also voiced France's "serious concern regarding Iran's (nuclear) proliferation programme and reiterated our desire to contribute to a solution," the presidential statement said.

I am so glad that Mr. Sarkozy has the wonderful and brave chutzpah and determination to facedown evil. We all know it is evil when Ahmedinejad insults the Jewish people. How come Obama doesn't know it? How come Obama is allowed to send troops to attack in Afghanistan, but yet he tells Israel not to attack Iranian nuclear facilities?
To Mr.Obama...you don't even own a birth certificate, but you want to own and control an entire country called Israel?
Would Mr. Obama like it, if China told him not to send troops to Afghanistan?
Yet, Mr. Obama is telling Israel not to attack an enemy who has publicly sworn to destroy them?
Mr.Bush was brave andhe was not intimidatedby Iran.
Mr. Obama is so busy flattering and sweet talking the Arab Moslem world, it proves he has fallen victim to their unrelenting intimidation.
Mr. Sarkozy...Please teach our president how to be brave and powerful against evil.
