No Denying Shias are Lying

A Tehran Times scribbler mounts a high horse and lets loose with a long list of "denial" in this century's first decade. Here's but a taste:
...A decade of denial that the human rights issue is not being seriously addressed;
A decade of denial that progress on women’s rights is much too slow, especially in many countries of the Global South;

A decade of denial that racism is on the rise again, especially in Europe and other parts of the Global North;

A decade of denial that religious prejudice against Muslims is on the rise in Europe, North America, and Australia.

A decade of denial that indigenous people’s rights are being trampled upon, especially in the Americas and Australia;

A decade of denial that the people of Kashmir have been denied their right to self-determination since 1947 and are still waiting for the referendum on the final status of the territory to be held;

A decade of denial about the fact that Israel is an apartheid regime that has been oppressing the Palestinians since 1948;...
This litany of faux "denial" aims to drown out the genuine denial: the Iranian regime's denial of the Shoah, and the international community's denial of Iran's plans to swipe a page from the Nazis via a weapon of mass Jewstruction.
