Stop scaring people!
has anyone ever gotten an answer as to why the state department allowed him into the US?
Islam IS a crime against humanity!
I am not a bigot, I have no issues with the Mohammaden Death Cult other than their beliefs and actions.
"That is right...make peace with the Americans today. We do not yet have sufficient numbers to cut their throats and take their heads."
End of translation.

It was a crime, not an act of war.
Muslims are the real victims.
Islamophobia is the real problem.
Did I miss anything?
I say we kidnap Khatami and hold him hostage for 444 days and see how the Iranian government likes it.
Just get the critical mass of Muslims to decry killing the other, because they are the other, no excuses, and all will be well. The cricket thingy is disappointing as to mainsteam Muslims doing that. It seems to be more excuses, rather than no excuses. That dog will not hunt. The US should carefully vet Muslims immigrating into the US. I hate to say that, but I am saying that. I have been disappointed. I don't see a pluralist sensibility. What I see, is insular us versus them. I say that as a near atheist.
So the terrorism he sponsored against the West whilst he was president was in the name of ..... ?
I would just like to say uk-fay ou-yay to this bozo but then the moderator would probably.......
Well, then quit BEHEADING people, idiot!! Get into the 20th century at LEAST!!
It's always about them and how bad they have it.
Hey, Khatami -- how about "Islamo-nausea" as in "I'm so sick of terrorist loving scumbags like you going around and preaching to CIVILIZED people all the time. Don't bother to tell us about tolerance or morality or justice because you and your fellow Islamo-Nazis wouldn't know anything about any of those things........"
Islamophobia( Islamocontemptus) goes when the last Muslim does.
Not until.
No Islam-no Islamophobia.
"Blasts" in the figurative sense, or did he really strap on the vest?
(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Why was Ayatollah Montezari subject to house arrest after his designation as successor to Khomeni as spiritual leader was revoked?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?
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.
