    Telling the truth about Islam is considering "slander" in the sharia.

    CBS's 60 minutes does a segment on the Armenian genocide the precursor
    to the Holocaust another Islamic inspired extermination.

    Covering for this Islam's act(s) of genocide, encourages more genocide.

    Officer in the Armenian genocide.(CBS) The Ottoman Turks developed
    a template, which according to genocide scholars, was later adopted
    by the Nazis.

    "Most dramatically we have Adolf Hitler saying eight days before
    invading Poland in 1939, 'Who today, after all, speaks of the
    annihilation of the Armenians?' Hitler was inspired by the Armenian
    extermination. You know, it made him think, 'Well, sure you know, you
    can get rid of a hated minority group and if you're powerful and your
    side wins, that event will never get recorded,'" Balakian explained.

    The Turks dispute the evidence that Hitler ever uttered those words
    or was inspired by the events of 1915. Nonetheless, when the Ottomans
    were swept from power, and the modern Turkish state was founded,
    all memory of what happened to the Armenians was erased. Records were
    destroyed, a new alphabet was adopted and ever since, the massacres
    have not been taught in schools.

    The use of the word genocide is regarded as an insult to Turkish
    nation; it is a jailable offense.

    Watch CBS News Videos Online (CBS) Wars are fought over oil, land,
    water, but rarely over history, especially about something that
    happened nearly 100 years ago. But that's what Turkey and Armenia
    are still fighting over: what to label the mass deportation and
    subsequent massacre of more than a million Christian Armenians from
    Ottoman Turkey during World War I.

    Armenians and an overwhelming number of historians say that Turkey's
    rulers committed genocide, that its actions were a model for what
    Hitler did to the Jews. The Turks, meanwhile, say their ancestors never
    carried out such crimes, and that they too were victims in a world war.

    Ever since, this battle over history has not only ensnared the two
    nations but even the White House and Congress, where resolutions
    officially recognizing the genocide are currently moving through the
    House and Senate.

    But our story begins where the lives of so many Armenians ended,
    far from Istanbul, in the desert.

    "60 Minutes" and correspondent Bob Simon took a drive into what is
    now Syria, to the barren wilderness, to what amounts to the largest
    Armenian cemetery in the world.

    "As many as 450,000 Armenians died here," author Peter Balakian
    told Simon.

    Balakian is an Armenian American who has written extensively about
    what happened in this desolate place.

    According to Balakian, 450,000 Armenians died in this spot in the
    desert. "In this region called Deir Zor, it is the greatest graveyard
    of the Armenian Genocide," he explained.

    Deir Zor is to Armenians what Auschwitz is to Jews. The most ghoulish
    thing about the place is that 95 years later the evidence of the
    massacres is everywhere.

    Just a short distance from the banks of Euphrates there's a dump. It's
    also the site of a mass grave. It has never been excavated. All we
    had to do was scratch the surface of the sand to collect evidence of
    what had happened here.

    Under the surface was evidence of bones. "It's the hill full of bones,"
    said Dr. Haroot Kahvejian, an Armenian dentist who showed Simon around.

    "Nobody bothered to dig them up until now?" Simon asked.

    It was extraordinary standing on a mound where perhaps thousands of
    people lie entombed. There is no record of who they were or where
    they could have come from.

    "Look at that. There are kids who know exactly where they are. They
    are finding them by the dozen," Simon observed.

    "Evidence comes in many forms. It comes in photographs, it comes in
    texts and telegrams," Balakian said. "And it also comes in bones."

    So just how did all these bones end up here?

    In 1915, the First World War was raging and the Ottoman Empire was
    crumbling. The Armenians were a Christian minority who were considered
    infidels by the ruling Muslims -- a fifth column who sided with the
    enemy in the war.

    The fact that they were prosperous didn't help, says Balakian, whose
    great uncle survived the genocide and wrote about it in a memoir
    Armenian Golgotha.

    "Like the Jews of Europe the Armenians of the Ottoman Empire had
    a dominant role in commerce and trade, they were highly educated,
    many of them," Balakian.

    And he said they were highly resented.

    Asked what happened next, Balakian said, "What happens from the
    spring of 1915 on through the summer is a well orchestrated project
    of government planned arrests and deportations."

    Some were forced to buy round trip tickets for train journeys from
    which they never returned. They ended up in box cars; the rest, mostly
    women and children were forced on death marches for hundreds of miles.

    Many perished from starvation, disease or brutal killings. The
    survivors ended up in concentration camps hundreds of miles from
    Istanbul, out of sight.

    At the time of the deportations, American diplomats in the region sent
    dispatches to Washington detailing what they had seen and heard. Just
    weeks after the arrests had begun, Henry Morgenthau the U.S.

    ambassador, sent off this one: "Deportation of and excesses against
    peaceful Armenians is increasing and from harrowing reports of
    eyewitnesses it appears that a campaign of race extermination is
    in progress¦"
