Roger Garaudy, later Ragaa Garaudy was a French philosopher, French resistance fighter and a prominent communist author. He converted to Islam in 1982. In 1998, he was convicted under the Fabius-Gayssot Act for writing and publishing a book titled The Founding Myths of Israeli Politics, in which he had quoted extensively from material by Dr Robert Faurisson (without attribution) and from Barbara Kulaszka's book Did Six Million Really Die? (with attribution). He was fined $50,000. The trial stimulated an avalanche of Revisionist thought and activity in the Moslem world, much to the chagrin of Israel [1]
