Which revisionist theory of history do you find most offensive/objectionable?

Each claim (see below) runs counter to the standard interpretation of a particular historic event/personage. Which three of these claims (if made by a historian) would you find most offensive, and why?

a.___JFK was murdered by the CIA.
b.___The US government faked the moon landings and continues to lie to us about the moon landings.
c.___Jesus as a single person never existed. Much historical proof exists showing that “Jesus” is actually a combination of three separate religious revolutionaries of the early 1st Century.
d.___Idi Amin was not responsible for the deaths of nearly 500,000 Ugandans. Rather, these people died as a result of the anarchy and civil war the plagued Uganda at the time.
e.___Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge, despite the claims of Amnesty International and the US State Department, did not murder 1.4 million. At most, 5,000 died as a direct result of Pol Pot’s policies.
f.___There is plenty of historic evidence proving that the Prophet Muhammad was a child molester.
g.___Bin Ladin and al-Qaeda were not the masterminds of 9/11. 9/11 was an inside job carried out by collaborating elements of the US and Israeli governments.
h.___Many Jews (perhaps 300,000) died during WWII from disease, as casualties of war, or because they were caught perpetrating anti-German activities. But the Holocaust—the purposeful extermination of Jews in Death Camps—is a myth.
i.___Stalin and the NKVD did not murder 14 million in Ukraine by starvation that refused to submit to Soviet rule.
j.___The CSA (Confederate States of America) had every right, Constitutionally speaking, to declare independence from the USA.
k.___Martin Luther King , Jr. was an unwitting tool of non-African American communists, who used him to undermine the stability of the United States government.
l.___Barack Obama did not write the book that first brought attention to him as an up-and-coming political force. In fact, “Dreams from My Father” was written by Obama’s radical political ally, Bill Ayers.
m. ___Jesus married Mary Magdelene and had a daughter.
n.___The crimes against humanity that Mao Zedong has been accused of have been greatly exaggerated. The Chinese people that died under Mao’s rule were counterrevolutionaries that were the equivalent to terrorists.
