In his speech at Columbia University today, Iran President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was asked about the treatment of gays in Iran. Ahmadinejad responded, “In Iran, we dont have homosexuals like in your country. We don’t have that in our country. In Iran, we do not have this phenomenon. I don’t know who’s told you we have it.” Watch it:
“Some international gay rights groups believe that more than 4,000 lesbians and gay men have been executed since the Ayatollahs seized power in 1979,” notes 365gay.com.

September 24th, 2007 at 4:00 pmSo then the Republicans want the US to be just like Iran?
September 24th, 2007 at 4:00 pmHomosexuals occur in every society at every income level. Whether they are open, or closeted defines how a society treats these individuals.
September 24th, 2007 at 4:01 pmThere are no gays in Iran just as there is no sectarian violence in Iraq. The gays and minorities are either killed or not counted. However, a fact does not cease to exist simply because it is ignored.
September 24th, 2007 at 4:02 pmSome international gay rights groups believe that more than 4,000 lesbians and gay men have been executed since the Ayatollahs seized power in 1979,†notes 365gay.com.
Well, I guess that is why they have no gays in Iran. This guy is about as crazy as Bush. That's all we need, a war between crazy leaders.
September 24th, 2007 at 4:02 pmWell no wonder Dick Cheney wants to attack Iran...they hate gays too.
Oh, wait, Hey AmenJihad, you cant be hating our VPs daughter!
September 24th, 2007 at 4:03 pmYes, this man is delusional and objectionable, but he is not the devil incarnate, nor is he universally supported in Iran.
We need to remember that he has been successful in Iran as a reaction to Bush's hegemony in Iraq.
If we end our occupation and resume a more rational policy in the Middle East, the hard-liners in Iran will not stay in power.
We should resist the media rush to turn this man into an inhuman monster. That way leads to war.

September 24th, 2007 at 4:09 pmcomity, thats been debunked:
But one expert in Farsi, Arash Norouzi, wrote an article on the Web on January 18, 2007, laying out what Ahmadinejad did and did not say. With my 10-minute time limit, I don't want to go into it in much detail, but I do want to highlight one word that Ahmadinejad used in his famous quote: "rezhim-e." What does that sound like to you? [Members of the audience answered "regime."]
Right. So what he was saying was that the Zionist regime should be eliminated. This is not at all the same as proposing that a country be wiped out. Democrats want the Bush "regime" eliminated, and Republicans wanted Bill Clinton's "regime" eliminated.

Sounds like a good idea to me so long as it is just the two of them. What would their choice of weapons be? Would they beat each other with their pink umbrellas? Perhaps play "King of the Mountain" atop an oil derrick? Vice-presidents at twenty-paces? A lose-lose scenario for the two of them would be a win-win for the rest of the world.
September 24th, 2007 at 4:13 pmthat probably makes some righties admire him, but to me, he's still the cartoon kook he has always been.
sure hope we don't decide to blow up whatever Iranian Mandelas are over there pushing for change, and make everyone there hate us forever.

September 24th, 2007 at 4:17 pmBy letting this man speak he has shown the world what a nut job he is. Columbia College did the right thing.
September 24th, 2007 at 4:17 pmKrazny,
Here's what I was remembering:
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The White House scorned an Iraqi leader's suggestion that President Bush and Saddam Hussein could resolve their differences in a duel, calling it an "irresponsible statement" that did not justify a "serious response."
"I just want to point out that in the past when Iraq had disputes, it invaded its neighbors," White House press secretary Ari Fleischer told reporters.
"There were no duels; there were no invasions. There was use of weapons of mass destruction and [the] military. And that's how Iraq settles its disputes."
Fleischer was responding to comments made Thursday by Iraqi Vice President Taha Yassin Ramadan in an interview with Abu Dhabi television that was also broadcast by CNN.
The Iraqi leader argued that instead of going to war with Iraq, Bush should participate in a personal duel with Saddam.
"Bush wants to attack the whole Iraq, the army and the infrastructure," Ramadan said. "If such a call is genuine, then let the American president and a selected group with him face a selected group of us and we choose a neutral land and let [U.N. Secretary-General] Kofi Annan be a supervisor and both groups should use the same weapon."
"A president against a president and vice president against a vice president, and a duel takes place, if they are serious," the Iraqi vice president said. "And in this way we are saving the American and Iraqi people."

September 24th, 2007 at 4:25 pmI don't find his comment about gays especially original. Bush and the GOP have been denying the existence of gays for 6 long years. How is what he said any different philosophically?
September 24th, 2007 at 4:26 pmAny evidence that 4000 homosexuals killed by Iranian government?
September 24th, 2007 at 4:27 pmClearly, the Iranian populace is well educated and will not be fooled or tricked by our brand of chicanery - unlike some of us were.

Back to the 1650s when our first European ancestor was born here in South Carolina through today my family have either been soldiers or farmers. Theres NOT ONE soldier in my family that has ever said War is cool or war is great. All of them said - go to school and stay out of the military unless you really feel the need to get shot at.

September 24th, 2007 at 5:19 pmTo misquote a famous American saying...God says it, they believe it, that settles it.
What the iranian president was probably meant to say was...there are no OPENLY Gay Iranians,,...
I'm sure there are as many gays in Iran as anywhere else, but they risk their lives if anyone finds out.
America has a more Evolved attitude towards homosexuality, but is still in not there yet. Fortunately, young people have the least homophobic and least racist attitude of all Americans...so the future looks brighter.

You could also apply the same generality to Bush, and as well, leaving off the thoughtful and compassionate stuff; and substituting tyrannical militarists for religious clerics.

September 24th, 2007 at 5:28 pmOk...on topic:
Daryll = Ahmadinejad
Different religion, same intolerance.
September 24th, 2007 at 5:28 pmAhmadinejad's statement reminds me of the late Queen Victoria of Great Britain. When a law banning homosexuality came to her to sign, she struck out all references to women, believing that women were incapable of such acts. By doing so, she inadvertently made female homosexuality legal while making male homosexuality illegal.
I don't know if Ahmadinejad actually believes that every Iranian follows Sharia law to the letter, or if that's just the face he wants to project to the world.
September 24th, 2007 at 5:29 pmNo we don’t. It is not accepted in our party and we do not believe that it should become a custom of our country. It is despicable, sickening, God-defying, and sordid. These individuals will answer to God for their sinful acts.

God made homosexuals gay. If God doesn't like it, he/she has no one to blame but him/herself.
September 24th, 2007 at 5:29 pmI like Ahmadinejad and agree with most of what he has to say. The truth is on his side. That's why he can answer questions by the hate-filled republican pretender-journalists.
September 24th, 2007 at 5:29 pmCan you imagine the two stupid little draft-dodging cowards bush and cheney having the balls to do the same?

um...no. Rape = forced sex

September 24th, 2007 at 5:31 pmThat's right Darryl! Those sinful liberals! Let's form a Sin Committee to over see the Sins committed by those liberals! Who can head that up? Mark Foley?
September 24th, 2007 at 5:32 pmBill Melman will be glad to hear that Daryll. So will Larry Craig and Karl Rove and Jeff Gannon and Condi Rice etc..............
Just to be clear, are you calling Ms. Rice a rapist and a murderer? And what's the etc, after that? Does it include shoplifter and last bit of toilet paper taker?

In most states, murderers are put to death. Rapists are put in jail. What do you think the appropriate penalty would be for homosexuals, adulterers, and fornicators? Since they are equivalent to murderers, should they all receive capital punishment as well? Or should they go to jail for a long, long time?
September 24th, 2007 at 5:34 pmSo....Iran has accomplished the Republican right's dream.....no gays. That sounds like facism, on both sides.
Just sayin'.
September 24th, 2007 at 5:35 pmGays are bad, but GOP adulterers and US Attorneys chasing 5-yr-olds, not so much. Now what was that about liberals again, Daryll?

September 24th, 2007 at 6:03 pmTracy,
Neither Ahmadinejad, nor the clerics who run Iran are that popular with the Iranian populace. Oddly enough, Iran, is one of the more "progressive" of the muslim nations. Not that it means that much. Being progressive in the middle east, is akin to being the biggest liberal in the NRA. I will agree with you that Bush doesn't have hatred and contempt for Muslims, he has contempt for everyone, with the exception of the ultra-rich.

September 24th, 2007 at 6:06 pmAhmadinejad does not "hate Jews". he said awile ago that Israel doesn't have the right to exist in Palistinian land. They are illegally occupying the land. And of course, others took what they wanted from the comment to serve their own agenda.

Though it is tragic that homosexuals are persecuted in Iran - 4,000 seems like a relatively small number compared to the number of human beings who die as a result of American foreign policy. Especially when including the toll since 1979.
It is not like homosexuals are free from persecution in the US anyways.

Sure, Iran would treat you worse, but jail time for any sex outside of marriage is pretty harsh. And ridiculous.
Daryll stated he wants the U.S. to be so much like Iran, in that they have sharia law, and we should have our laws based on the Bible.

September 24th, 2007 at 7:08 pmTracy, a better comparison would have been to say, being a progressive country in the middle east, is similar to being the least racist member of the KKK.
September 24th, 2007 at 7:09 pmWhat we saw today is the type of leader that the religious right want to run America.
Whether we like it or not we DO set an example for the world. Which direction is America going to turn the world towards? The old days that Iran still lives in? Or the future that many of us grew up thinking was coming ...you know like the one in Star Trek were the Taliban old ways are forgotten...
September 24th, 2007 at 7:15 pmSo if you are liberal you don’t believe the second amendment? Bad comparison.
The second amendment states:
The well regulated militia is the U.S. military. I don't think anyone is against them having guns.
Prove it.
I guess this is more of an opinion than anything else. Bush doesn't care about anyone other than himself and his buddies. He is a dishonest, corrupt, malicious and arrogant human being.
September 24th, 2007 at 7:26 pmSo you are suggesting that Bush did such a poor job during Katrina because he hates black people?

Opinion based on observation. Bush doesn't care about anyone other than himself or his buddies.

-No, you are incorrect; the army is made up of ordinary people.
-When the second amendment was written, we had no standing army so it made perfect sense to have the populace armed. Today we have a standing army (a militia) that protects our security.
September 24th, 2007 at 7:44 pmAnd the republicans also deny the existance of gays.

Tracy your retarded. Where exactly in the middle east is the united states located?
Wouldnt it be more accurate to compare the number of jews in iran to the number of jews in other middle eastern countries ? Looking at your little chart, I see Iran is second only to Turkey in total population of jews in middle eastern countries. No other M.E. country (other than Israel obviously) has more than 200. Compared to less than 200, I'd say 11,000 is pretty signifigant.
And Daryll, what a shock to see you back on a thread about gays.
2 questions for you.
1) Every time you see a young mans firm buttocks, do you have to make a conscious decision not to become aroused?
2) People have asked you this over and over, and you have NEVER answered: Do you endorse every statement in the bible? For instance, the bible says that those who disprect thier parents should be put to death. Do you agree with this?

Do the gays in the NeoCon party shiver when the see the resemblances between the Ayatollahs and their own party? They should!

September 25th, 2007 at 8:16 amIranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad proudly announces that there are no gays in his country. Well, duh! Since the Shah was forced into exile, over 4,000 gay people have been executed. In one of the more notable cases, two gay Iranian teenagers -- one 18, the other believed to be 16 or 17, were executed for the "crime" of homosexuality, on July 19. The two youths -- identified only by their initials as M.A. and A.M., were hanged on July 19 in Edalat (Justice) Square in the city of Mashhad in north-eastern Iran, on the orders of Court No. 19. The hanging of the teens was also reported by the National Council of Resistance of Iran. T see the disturbing photos click here:
