Abbé Pierre and Holocaust denial

"Abbé Pierre endorsed...", which claims that Abbé Pierre is agree with Roger Garaudy book have to be sourced. In the french version of the article about Abbé Pierre, it is said that he doesn't agree with all viewpoints of Roger Garaudy (http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abb%C3%A9_Pierre). I recommand to be more accurate especially whit accusations like endorsing Holocaust denial. In France, denial of Holocaust is an offence. Roger Garaudy has been convicted and sentenced. Has Abbé Pierre been convicted of Holocaust denial by a justice court ? If not, this would be deffamation.

I removed the accusations of endorsing of Roger Garaudy Books by Abbé Pierre... I didn't find any convictions of it by a court. A lot of anti-racism leagues are present in France, they would have sued him, if he would really have endorsed it. I think it is only intentional confuse between the frendship of Abbé Pierre for Roger Garaudy and the endorsing of his books.

I post a demand here for the exapnsion of this article, it is very short and needs a lot of missing information.

Is Garaudy a Holocaust denier?

I draw the attention of all to the following interview in French:

http://www.radioislam.org/islam/french/actual/garaudy/garaud1.htm

where Garaudy states:

"Je considère que le meurtre de juifs durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale est un fait."

Nevertheless, it appears that a French court convicted Garaudy of Holocaust denial. Most OECD countries have criminalized Holocaust denial. Such laws are inconsistent with freedom of speech, and with the notion that the courts are not the place to sort out intellectual disputes. It is possible that the French court was unable or unwilling to do justice to the complexity and full range of Garaudy's thought.

I agree that the entry should say more about Garaudy, an intelligent, restless, even tortured man, more interesting than any fictional character in a Graham Greene novel. He was raised a Protestant, and ran a Bible discussion group while a POW in Germany during WWII. Soon after the war he joined the French Communist party, which expelled him in 1970 for criticizing the USSR. Earlier he had been kicked out of Protestant groups for his Party membership. During the 1950s and 60s, Garaudy was one of the most intellectually respectable French Communists, whose writings had admirers among confirmed Christians and people on the French Right. The interview in the above link reveals a rather idiosyncratic Moslem and a confirmed critic of Israel. I trust that those who read this will agree that anti-Zionism and anti-semitism can be quite distinct.202.36.179.65 20:09, 11 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Can we get better sourcing for this. Thanks --Tom 00:46, 28 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Clean up needed on aisle 3

I will try to improve this article by adding SOURCED material to the article. I encourage all editors to only add sourcable material by reliabe sources going forward. Thanks --Tom 00:58, 28 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Expanding by translation?

Would it be nice and useful to expand this article by using the translation of the same article from French. French version seems to provide less shallow information about this important person...

Or, are there some deeper reasons for this situation (the lack of information as if Garaudy is an ordinary figure), like, him being a Holocaust denier?
