Iran Gifts 100 Books to US Columbia University
TEHRAN (Fars News Agency)- An Iranian state institution gifted 100 volumes of books on the US occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan to the library of Columbia University.
The books which contain hundreds of caricatures on the occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan have been gifted by the director of the Foundation for Safeguarding and Promotion of the Values of the Sacred Defense (i.e. Iraqi imposed war on Iran 1980-1988).
"To honor the self-restraint and patience of the Columbia University students during the address of Dr. Ahmadinejad and to appreciate their freedom and justice-seeking spirit, one hundred books on occupation (of Iraq and Afghanistan) along with the English translation of the book 'There was God and nothing else' by the honorable martyr and scientist the late Dr. Mostafa Chamran will be gifted to this university," the Foundation's director Mir Feysal Bagherzadeh said on Sunday.
The Book 'Caricatures on Occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan' is a collection of the masterpieces of the world's famous caricaturists and has been released by the said foundation.
Iran Propoganda ping
Will Amadinnerjacket include his favourite books (The Protocols of the Elders of Zion and Mein Kampf)?
Send them a super sized container ship full of bibles. To show how much we appreciate his gift of 100 books.
Well isn’t that special?
They should hang on to those, they may be worth a lot of money next year when Iran no longer exist.
Use them as toilet paper...then send them back.
Quarantine them to be sure they’re not seeded with virulent small pox.
Maybe include few tons of Tanakhs.
Did they include the Crayons or is Columbia going to have to buy those?
Lol. They’re just a barrel of laughs today.
...we already have “Mein Kampf”...course, ours isn’t autographed...
Book burning alert!
I’ve got it...send THEM 100 books on hog farming in Arkansas...for their agricultural benefit.
LOLOLOL
One of my classmates in my undergrad years was Iranian. His parent fled in 1979 and came to the US. If you wanted to see him get seriously p*ssed, just say “Ayatollah Khomeni” or “Jimmy Carter.” He’d go ballistic about the Ayatollah “destroying persian pride and culture” and “Jimmy Carter being a liar who betrayed the Shah.” Then, he’d wax poetic about the Shah. He would talk about a sincere hope that the “evil mongrels” who ruled his country would be overthrown and fed to dogs.
Sounds like my kinda guy.
:~ )
Well, his parents fled because of their loyalty to the Shah. He was a wee tyke when they came to the US, but he had a seething loathing for Khomeni and his band of jackasses. He saw himslef as an American, but one who longed for the country of his birth to “retain its former glory.” He also often talked of Iran as a western nation hijacked by barely literate killers. It was always interesting to have conversations with him.
