See the full resolution below.<BR/><BR/>UNITED STATES HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL COUNCIL<BR/><BR/>EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RESOLUTION<BR/><BR/>On December 20, the Executive Committee of the United States Holocaust Memorial Council adopted the following resolution.<BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/>Resolution<BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/>WHEREAS, the United States Holocaust Memorial Council, the governing body of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, is charged with implementing the mission of the Museum as a living memorial to the victims of the Holocaust devoted to teaching the lessons of the Holocaust for the benefit of all mankind; and<BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/>WHEREAS, Dennis Prager, a member of the Council, has recently publicly expressed and disseminated certain statements which have been widely interpreted as being intolerant;<BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/>NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Executive Committee of the United States Holocaust Memorial Council, while recognizing that Dennis Prager has the right to express his personal views freely, disassociates itself from Mr. Prager’s statements as being antithetical to the mission of the Museum as an institution promoting tolerance and respect for all peoples regardless of their race, religion or ethnicity.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33388193.post-1165291641875005022006-12-04T20:07:00.000-08:002006-12-04T20:07:00.000-08:00Dennis Prager’s article is in no way “anti-islamic...Dennis Prager’s article is in no way “anti-islamic,” in fact, it is anti-nothing. It is pro-American values. Congressmen who affirm the Bible, solely or as well as their own holy book, in public, symbolic ceremonies, affirm the values that built America. (Which, not incidentally, provides Muslems with more religious or other freedom than they have in any Islamic country.)<BR/> Secondly, there is NO incongruity with being anti-Islamic and being on a holocaust memorial advisory board; indeed, it is almost a requirement, given the regular denials, or worse, praise, of the Holocaust done my prominent Muslem leaders or clerics, when speaking to their own people.
