In Iran, they eliminate homosexuality.

They invited Ahmedinejad to speak at Columbia University, and Conservatives all over the US screamed bloody murder about it


Oh come now. George Bush said he was OK with it while some Democrat politicians expressed their discontent with the idea. I doubt the screaming crowds outside were all Republicans. They interviewed some of them who were from various Mid-East backgrounds, many of whom protested his presence because of who he is.

MA might have come across as an idiot to some of us, but so did some of Columbia's students who offered jaded applause when he spoke. Also, what really matters is that the Iranian people get a full glimpse of what transpired here, but we know they will get a doctored version of it.

Their own agendas and pressures placed on them make them unreliable.


Wait a second, JAK. Are you saying that Iran's president is wrong, and that there is homosexuality which still lingers in Iran?

I don't buy that for a second. As Iran's president, it's his job to know what is or isn't going on in his country. So if he says that homosexuality doesn't exist in Iran, then, quite simply, it doesn't exist in Iran.

I don't see how you can think otherwise.

I'm serious about the possibilities of Iran's policy being used by the church. They both have the same goal -eliminate homosexuality. The church is struggling with it while Iran is succeeding. How could that be since the church has the priesthood? The church may want to consider sending representatves to Iran to observe their gay policies and implement them church wide. It's just a thought.

What does that have to do with Pres. Ahmedinejad of Iran speaking at Columbia, and how he was raked over the coals by the University President, and made an ass out of himself on live TV?

Something is very wrong here.

Petreas returns and testifies that Iran is manufacturing the new and very effective IED's (One of the first killed my friend's son last year). This has been common knowledge even outside of intelligence circles.

He's not an American. He is a murderer of Americans and truly an enemy to freedom. Particularly our freedom. This is my house. He has no rights outside the diplomatic corridor of the UN.

There was justification and opportunity to snag a few of the 911 hijackers before that fatefull day.

What in the hell is the message we are sending to the rest of the world? When did the land of the free and home of the brave become so damned FRENCH???

When questioned about execution of homosexuals in Iran, Ahmadinejad said

"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."

THe LDS leadership needs to take note. The Iranians have eliminated homosexuality in their country. What are they doing right in Iran?

Here's the link

Of course they don't have homosexuality there....all the homosexuals have been executed. After all, why would there be laws prohibiting a non-existent phenomenon? I assume, though, that your post is sarcastic one--I'd hate to think you want the LDS leadership to adopt (re-adopt) blood atonement by following Iran's example.

And how many countries are trying to destroy France? How many airliners have been flown into the Eiffel Tower? How many French soldiers have died in war battles lately?

I must agree that inviting him to speak at Columbia University was a great idea. He did not hold himself well there, and answering the questions given (say on the Holocaust) showed how dense the guy is. I am surprised he and Bush aren't best of friends, since Bush is about just as dense.
