Here are the questions the media should ask this fellow, but won't.

(1) Why was Ayatollah Montezari subject to house arrest after his designation as successor to Khomeni as spiritual leader was revoked? Why is he still under house arrest?

(2) Was Khomeni in his faculties at the time? Had he already suffered the stroke that killed him? Who witnessed his alleged change of designated successor from Montezari to Khameni?

(3) Were there secularist elements in the 1979 revolution who did not want a clerical government in Iran?

(4) What happened to them?

(5) Did the current president of Iran serve as an interrogater in the prisons in which they were held?

(6) Did he execute prisoners, personally, or order their executions?

(7) Do you defend his actions at the time? Would you support him doing the same sort of thing again tomorrow?

(8) Did the Germans murder several million innocent Jews in Europe during WW II?

(9) Do you excuse the current president's denial of the previous?

(10) The current president of Iran is fond of saying that the present order in the world is unjust and unsustainable, in the specific context of nuclear weapons possessed by western liberal democracies. Would nuclear weapons in the hands of more non-western and undemocratic countries by more just than the present situation?

(11) If it would be, why isn't Iran seeking nuclear weapons to redress the present injustice in the world?

(12) Why is Iran ashamed of its actions in the matter? Why does it hide them, and lie about them to the IAEA among others?

(13) What religious legitimacy if any does Khameni possess?

(14) As a matter of Islamic scholarship, is the president of Iran a heretic and an innovator in doctrine, for his unusual views on the subject of hidden imams?

(15) Is the hidden imam present already, and hiding in a well, and does he respond to notes lowered down to him on ropes?

(16) Does the government of Iran possess extra-territorial jurisdiction and right, outside the geographical confines of Iran?

(17) Is the government of Iran justified in sending armed men to foreign countries to kidnap or murder citizens and legal residenice of other countries, for alleged or imaginary offenses against the government of Iran?

(18) If you say yes to 18, is the United States justified in sending armed men to foreign countries to detain its enemies there, and incarcerate them for its own protection? Would it be justified in arresting Ahmadnejad or yourself?

(19) If you consider it absurd that you would be arrested in the US for your offenses toward the US, as an overreaching of proper US authority, will you be rescending the fatwa against Salman Rushdie today?

(20) Do you think the countries that invented religious tolerance and whose protection you trust today, need lessons from tyrants and hypocrites on political justice?

(21) Do you think the most merciful and compassionate human judge on earth would condemn innocent schoolchildren to dismemberment and death at age 7, for the crime of having unorthodox parents?

(22) If you answered no on 21, do you think God is morally inferior to typical human judges?

(23) If you answered no on 21 and 22, will you be condemning today those who perpetrated the attack on the school in Russia, and pronouncing as a matter of religious law, that those who carried it out are damned for all eternity to hellfire for their injustice?

(24) Do you honestly believe in a just judge who searches hearts, and do you think your own heart can withstand His scrutiny and His wrath?

(25) Al Ghazali related of the jihadi, that he complained as he was borne away to the fire, "but I was martyred fighting in your path. Where is my reward?" And that the response came "you wanted it to be said of you among men that you were very brave. And it was said, and that was your reward." Is this tradition orthodox? Are you?

Powerful point, too. Maybe seeing pictures like that would help to wake up the Western world.

Guess which part of my butt Khatami can kiss.

How about a nuclear blast on Khatami and the rest of the entire middle East?

All of stupid, backwards, cruel, stupid, dumb and dumberer, barbaric, islam and every muslim in the world can eat sh*t and drop dead tomorrow morning for all I care.

The whole religion and all it's adherants are worthless trash.

"SOME FURTHER QUESTIONS:

Has anyone ever gotten an answer as to why the National Cathedral allowed him into the National Cathedral ?

Has anyone ever gotten an answer as to why Harvard is going to allow him into Harvard ?"

Well, if Massachusetts Governer Mitt Romney's reaction is indicative of how the LDS feel, at least you can be assured that Mr. Khatami won't be getting a "temple recommend."

Anybody heard Kahtami's heartfelt apology for those 444 days back in the late 70's?

Didn't think so.

Too rich. Hey Khatami. Maybe you personally ordering slaughter of Christians in the name of Islam might have contributed. I really would love to drive up to Arlington and cap this scum. How can we allow this? This is a travesty!

I wonder what could have possibly caused this? Couldn't be terrorist attack after terrorist attack could it? No that wouldn't make any sense. Couldn't be the images of hundreds of thousands rioting over a cartoon? Course not.

Why didn't the police just throw his Nazi ass into the crowd of protester to let him be beaten to death? That is all this scumbag deserves. They should do the same thing with Amanotgonnaworkhereanymore when he comes to the U.N. this month...just abandon the police escort and let him be killed by the crowd.

appearance Thursday night in the Washington National Cathedral

Imagine a neo-Nazi speaking at the Cathedral. This is the same thing. Yet not one word of protest from the same group of RATs who are howling like mad about a TV show.

And why Bush ever permitted this is beyond my comprehension. Disgraceful.

Apology???
We're dealing with people who believe we should be subjugated or dead- and who still want us to trust, accept, and love them!
Like- that's no reason to actually think badly of them, right?!!?

Iran's former president decried a wave of "Islamophobia" that he said is being spread in the United States by fear and hatred of Islam in response to terror perpetrated by Muslims.

How does he suggest we "handle" it?

Muslims are killing us so we're not suppose to be afraid of them?

That should be *actions* only. As far as I'm concerned they're free to believe in the big white schmoo (pretty much the equivalent). As long as they don't try to kill me if I don't.

If they do (as they are trying), they should be introduced to the counter-population warfare as originally invented and perfected in WWII.

I get your point, but with this cult of violence " to believe, is to act"

Based on what I know about this guy's history of mass murder, he should join his pal:

Thank you for this. I have been wondering what percent of Muslims in the population becomes intolerable and I'm glad to see someone has done the research. Scary to see it can be as little as 5%.

has anyone ever gotten an answer as to why the state department allowed him into the US?

I think his old pal invited him.
