  From Marxism To Islam - Ummah.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
In the case of the French Marxist philosopher Roger Garaudy, who was born in 1914 and converted in 1982 when he was 68 years old, the key factors were arguably his conviction that Western society is based on a false understanding of man, and his own life-long quest for transcendence.
In Garaudy's earliest account of the above-mentioned incident, however, his discovery of the transcendent values of Islam is overshadowed by his recollection of the feeling of elation caused by the group solidarity of the prisoners and their fraternal relations with the guards.
Garaudy maintains that the root cause of the present global crisis is a false view of man which has dominated Western thought since the sixteenth century, and which may in part be traced back even further.

 Poisoning the Web - David Cole and Roger Garaudy
Unable to believe that one of their own would admit that the Holocaust is historical fact, numerous Holocaust deniers, from Bradley Smith and Ingrid Rimland to lesser-known figures on the Web and in Usenet newsgroups, complained that the JDL had forced Cole to recant.
On February 27, 1998, a French court found 84-year-old Garaudy guilty of violating a law that prohibits the questioning of crimes "against humanity." Also convicted for "racial defamation," he was fined 240,000 francs (roughly $40,000).
Significantly, Garaudy, a convert to Islam, received support during the trial from anti-Semitic Muslims in the Middle East.

 Garaudy on trial for thoughts
Yet, Garaudy is prosecuted, and maligned by the western writing fraternity and media for his thoughts while Salman Rushdie is lionized and protected for his gratuitous insult to Islam and Muslims.
Garaudy said that 'we are opposed to extreme zionist racism but not to the Jewish faith, which I, as a Muslim respect as a religion from God.' He added that the idea behind his trial was to 'tar us as anti-Semitic' although many Jews reject zionist extremism, believing it would eventually destroy Israel.
Garaudy, like other Muslims on trial in the west, is on his own and deserves even greater support from Muslims worldwide.

 Origin and Enduring Impact of the 'Garaudy Affair'
Roger Garaudy was born in Marseille in 1913.
Garaudy was much more than a mere "card-carrying Communist." He was elected a Communist deputy to the National Assembly, later serving as deputy speaker and then as a senator.
The Garaudy affair was soon enough the Abbé Pierre affair, and the baying pack of intellectuals dogging Garaudy was soon joined by the popular media and by France's most influential religious leaders, including the Archbishop of Paris, the Jewish convert to Catholicism Daniel Lustiger, and the chief rabbi of France, Joseph Sitruk.

Garaudy's trial stemmed from his 1996 book, "Les mythes fondateurs de la politique israelienne" -- Founding Myths of Israeli Politics -- in which he denies the existence of Nazi gas chambers and claims that the number of Jews killed by the Nazis had been grossly exaggerated in order to justify and strengthen the Zionist case.
Garaudy was treated to a hero's welcome from religious and intellectual leaders: "Every Moslem should support Garaudy's thought and stand with all cultural, religious and diplomatic efforts," declared Egypt's highest religious authority, Grand Mufti Nasr Farid Wasel.
Interviewed by an uncharacteristically sycophantic "Al-Ahram last week, Garaudy told the semi-official Cairo daily that he was aware that his book "overstepped many red lines and that its content was a violation of the oppressive law which punishes anyone who criticizes the verdicts of the Nuremberg trials or questions the number of Holocaust victims.

Garaudy’s book questioned the number of Jewish victims during the Holocaust, and argued that there was no extermination policy as such, and therefore the court found his book to be in violation of the Gayssot Law, under which Holocaust denial and antisemitic incitement is a punishable offence.
[13] He criticized Garaudy for his “journalistic” research, doesn’t share Garaudy’s doubts about the existence of the gas chambers, nor is he outspokenly in agreement with Garaudy’s minimizing of the number of Jewish victims of the Holocaust.
The French Loi Gayssot, under which Garaudy was tried and sentenced, is identified as a Zionist attempt to consolidate the “founding myth of Israeli politics.” The Holocaust is depicted as a manipulative forgery that was used to bring about the Israeli state and justify the politics of occupation.
