And now we have Ahmadinejad's quote of the day!
—On executions of homosexuals in Iran:In Iran we don't have homosexuals like in your country. We don't have that like in your country. ... In Iran we do not have this phenomenon. I don't know who's told you that we have this.
This would be laughable if the truth was not that they execute them. I just can't understand why the left, who say they love gay rights, want to force kids to learn tolerance in third grade, etc...are so quick in defending this thug.

This doesn’t really make sense as you never see liberals supportive of Israel at all. Mention Palestininians and the liberals get all giddy with glee. Either I am out of touch or I don’t come into contact with liberal jews, which to me seems to be a paradox.
I didn't hear the word 'gay' come from Ahmadinejad ... he kept saying homosexual ... why the PC title for your post?
Can someone post the "Aw geez, not this sh*t again" picture in response to this post? TIA
PS Looks like we got some new trolls here. Sigh.
That’s pretty much the standard line from the left -
“we’re not anti-semitic*, we’re just anti-Zionist.”
*Another BS pedantic leftist rhetorical tactic is to say that Arabs are “semitic” as well.
The left wants to get people to believe “fundamental Christians-AKA THOSE That actually BELIEVE The Bible” are the same as “Fundamental Islam”..the’d better be glad they live in America where our laws (and founders were) Christians, a religion that is against much immorality, but also advocates “love thy neighbor”!..!
Hitler, 1945: “We don’t mistreat Jews in Germany. We don’t have any Jews in Germany.”
wow this topic deviated quickly, but just my two cents- on topic with the actual thread.
i may get flamed etc but i’ll just give you my perspective.
I lived for years in Toronto, Canada. Yes, many gay pride parades.
Now i’ve been on an extended vacation in Turkey for 1.5 years (yes extended) and to be 110% honest i haven’t seen a gay person yet. The nightlife is exceptional, the tourists come from all over but it’s always man/woman. boy/girl no matter where i am.
By now i know a lot of people around here and although i don’t ask, i’m sure one night drinking on a boat someone woulda said to me (if there were one) hey look, thats our gay guy.
The man had a point, in this region of the world everyone apparently seems to be straight. No pink, no men dressed in leather S&M crap.
I don’t know WHY, i’m just saying this is my fine observation. Could be of the early military recruiting, could be cuz its adam and eve not adam and steve.
No offense to any gay people on the list but i watched the news conference live also and when the audience laughed i didn’t because he’s right. You don’t see them if there are any. if they are around they are doing a damn good disguise job.

By gay, he means men that dress up like women and sing in falsseto /sarc
My belief is that we have a very small segment, 1-2 percent of the population that is homoexual for whatever reason be it nature or nurture from a very young age.
I also bellieve we have a larger segment that is what I would call culturally gay. Gay by choice or conversion. Iran probably does not have that phenomenon.
The left wants to get people to believe “fundamental Christians-AKA THOSE That actually BELIEVE The Bible” are the same as “Fundamental Islam”..the’d better be glad they live in America where our laws (and founders were) Christians, a religion that is against much immorality, but also advocates “love thy neighbor”!..!
Really welcome to FreeRepublic. Really, I (maybe others will) won’t hold your very first post in FR against you. Really, if you have an IQ of 110 or better, you may learn something. Really, when you do, please join in.
Yes, I guess evil can be interesting to some people.
As for managing to succeed, succeed at what?
Alienating his countries abroad supporters by flaunting his disrespect of U.N mandates?
Alienating his countrymen by having a regime so oppressive that music can get you arrested?
Setting his country up for war with the only remaining superpower in the world?
If that's succeeding then let me fail.
Secondly COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY is one of the greatest place in the world nowadays an oasis for people ABLE TO THNIK to produce this energy with reason.
Columbia University students may be some of the brightest in the world but many of them have been seduced by the leftist tradition of hating all things American.
Columbia University executives and staff have already told the world what they think of the War on Terror and the USA just by inviting this scumbag egotistical dictator to speak. By the president of the college stating that they would have Hitler speak if he was still alive.
Thirdly this whole hustle around Ahmadinedjad is political really.People forgot who they are they think thay are centre of the Universe???If something destroyable happen to our civilization nothing will be left after us.The future generation will have no sign of who we were.
Now, what civilization do you speak of? Western civilization? Eastern civilization? Muslim civilization?
Or just ALL civilization?
For the people of Earth, we ARE the center of the Universe. Until positive proof is revealed stating that there is intelligent life elsewhere in the Universe, Humankind IS the center of the Universe.
Do not forget that the Jewish religion,the Muslim religion and the Christian one are from the same source,they have common roots so it is unforgivable to be speculated further on this.
Don't EVEN go there.
Jewish and Christian religons are from the same source. Christianity is an offshoot of Judiasm.
The Muslim religon deosn't come from either Judiasm or Christianity or from the same source as either of the other two.
Really they will be no peace for no one until these 3 religions will not take the hands off each other-without prejudices,without speculations,without missunderstanding....
Let me ask you something, when was the last time you can state that there were Jewish or Christian terrorists with the aim of taking over the world, by force if necessary?
When the Muslim religon, as a whole, learns that the "do to your neighbor the same you want to be done to you........................" is a good thing then maybe, MAYBE, the three religons can sit down and have a civil discourse.
Would you out yourself, even to friends and family, if you knew it could cost you your life? If not by the gov’t then by the religon?
Homosexuality is actually rampant in Muslim nations, usually of the Greek model (older men, younger men) or as a method of asserting power (upper class dominating lower class). Don’t have time to find a link, but I’m sure you can. It’s not seen because the punishment is severe, but it is actually all over the place, more so than here because that’s about the only outlet lower-class males have for their sexual urges.
They kill them. Are you suggesting that is the way to handle them?
In further news today, the PLO announced that Yassar Arafat was NOT interested in little boys and was NOT HIV positive when he died.
Why should I care what a foreign country does to homosexuals?
Nobody can be all bad, not even Amanutjob.
Not anymore they don't anyways.
