"He used a vocabulary carefully designed to hoodwink the Americans without angering his fellow Khomeinists back home. The trick was reinforced by the fact that he often said one thing in Persian, while the interpreter said something else in English for the benefit of the Harvard audience."

A school founded by Christians to teach Christians the ways of Christ and spread the gospel, has come to this. This is like allowing Satan to sit on God's throne and say, I'm your Savior and Jesus is a fraud. The people in charge of Harvard, who have trampled the blood of Jesus by allowing this liar to promote the gospel of hate and lies, is going to have a lot to answer for when they stand before his throne, and explain why they expelled his Son and his teachings, in exchange for a doctrine of demons straight from the pit of hell.

The Harvard people who gave Khatami a tribune from which to deceive the American people might want to know an old Persian saying: "When a mullah calls, an undertaker is sure to follow."

One can only conclude that the folks at Harvard are, on the whole, just not very smart.

The true face of Islam.

Worms like the Harvard audience will think that what he really meant was spoken by the interpreter and what was said in Persian was to hoodwink the Iranians. I am not kidding.

Nice idea for a tag line: "When a mullah calls, an undertaker is sure to follow." -- old Persian saying

The last and best line from the article:

"The Harvard people who gave Khatami a tribune from which to deceive the American people might want to know an old Persian saying: 'When a mullah calls, an undertaker is sure to follow.' "

Thank you for posting this. Of course the translator's distortions are the only ones the MSM will convey. Kind of reminds me of what Arafat used to do, except he did his own translating into English.

The only thing religious Harvard supports is it's exemption from paying tax on billions of dollars of real estate and building. It's fine for the dinner, or muffler repair shop across the street, but for ol'Harvard seperation of church and state. Thus the working class kids of Cambridge go without so that Harvard can live like kings.

I'm sure they loved him at Harvard.

Bill Clinton constantly hoodwinked the Left, and they considered it adorable.

The Left loves hoodwinking and hoodwinkers. Leftists love their delusions, hate confrontations with truth and reality, and are in the hoodwinking business themselves. No wonder they get a kick out of hoodwinkers.

(They're gonna get a real KICK out of the Muslims when they finally succeed in enabling them to take over.)

Informative article.

Less discussed, was his visit to Mr. Jefferson's University (where I am located):
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1697009/posts

All this 'making nice-nice' has left nagging doubts in my mind. Foremost of which is "Why?"

Why, at this time, when it was Ahmedinejad's invitation to speak at the UN, was this clown given a visa and permission to speak?
Was this whole thing one of those kissy-kissy State Dept. scams?
Who in the Administration signed off on this?
What did they expect to accomplish?

In the mid 18th century Harvard went over to Unitarianism--which holds the same view of Jesus as Islam.
