Iran's president condems "Innocence of Muslims" and the violence it sparked, defends his stance on h - Polidicks

[QUOTE] Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad slammed Sunday an anti-Islam film and the violent and deadly protests it triggered in the Muslim world. Ahmadinejad spoke to CNN's Piers Morgan in New York, ahead of the president's visit to the U.N. General Assembly this week. [B]"Fundamentally, first of all, any action that is provocative, offends the religious thoughts and feelings of any people, we condemn,"[/B] he said about the inflammatory film that mocks the Prophet Mohammed as a womanizer, child molester and killer. [B] "Likewise, we condemn any type of extremism. Of course, what took place was ugly. Offending the Holy Prophet is quite ugly. This has very little or nothing to do with freedom and freedom of speech. This is the weakness of and the abuse of freedom, and in many places it is a crime. It shouldn't take place and I do hope the day will come in which politicians will not seek to offend those whom others hold holy,"[/B] said Ahmadinejad. [B]"We also believe that this must also be resolved in a humane atmosphere, in a participatory environment and we do not like anyone losing their lives or being killed for any reason, anywhere in the world."[/B] The privately produced film sparked protests against the United States, where it was made. While most of the demonstrations have been peaceful, some were marred by violence that has left more than two dozen people dead -- among them U.S. Ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens and three other Americans killed in an attack on the consulate in Benghazi, Libya, that reportedly followed a demonstration against the film. When asked by Morgan whether he thought protesters should stop threatening U.S. staff abroad, Ahmadinejad responded that he cannot say what other people or nations should do, but that he believes [B]"extremism gives birth to following and subsequent extremists.[/B] [B]"Perhaps if the politicians take a better position in the West vis-a-vis offensive words or thoughts or pictures towards what we hold holy, I think conditions will improve,"[/B] the president said. During the wide-ranging interview, which will be broadcast Monday, Ahmadinejad discussed what Iran would do if Israel were to attack it. [B]"Any nation has the right and will indeed defend herself. But my question is this: Why should the world be managed in such a way that an individual can allow himself to threaten a rich and deeply rooted historical, ancient country, such as Iran. A great country, such as Iran, based on an excuse of his own fabrication ... Another country can say, I am guessing that country B is doing activity X, therefore I will attack that country ... can this be ... a successful formula for the management of the world?"[/B] Ahmadinejad asked. The president was likely referring to his country's disputed nuclear program. Some world powers, particularly Western nations, suspect that Iran is seeking to build nuclear weapons. Tehran insists its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes. In response to whether he feared a war, or military conflict, with Israel was imminent, Ahmadinejad said: [B]"The Zionists are very much, very adventuresome, very much seeking to fabricate things and I think they see themselves at the end of the line and I do firmly believe that they seek to create new opportunities for themselves and their adventurous behaviors."[/B] In related news Sunday, a top general in Iran said his country would be capable of defeating Israel within a day, according to Iran's state-run Press TV. Netanyahu urges U.S. to set 'red line' for Iran "A regime (with a frontier) that in some spots is only 24 kilometers wide could have its back broken by one of our infantry battalions in 24 hours," Brigadier General Hossein Salami reportedly said. "Our strategic doctrines are all defensive, but our tactics are invasive. It means that we do not initiate any war, but if anyone wages a war against us, we will counterattack incessantly and will not stop," he said, Press TV reported. "The enemy could initiate a war, but its ending would be up to us." President Ahmadinejad also spoke strongly about his views on homosexuality. [B]"I'm sorry. Let me ask you this. Do you believe that anyone is giving birth through homosexuality? Homosexuality ceases procreation. Who has said that if you like or believe in doing something ugly, and others do not accept your behavior, that they're denying your freedom?"[/B] he asked Morgan. [B]"Proper education must be given ... the education system must be revamped. The political system must be revamped. And these must be also reformed, revamped along the way. But if you, if a group recognizes an ugly behavior or ugly deed as legitimate, you must not expect other countries or other groups to give it the same recognition."[/B][/QUOTE] [URL="http://www.cnn.com/2012/09/23/world/meast/iran-ahmadinejad-interview/index.html?hpt=hp_t1"]Source[/URL]

This article confused the shit out of me.

While he has some good points, he doesn't quite grasp what freedom of speech truly means, and why it's a good thing to have. People should not have to worry about whether or not their next creative work will have G-men knocking on their door. Freedom of speech ensures they won't.

Every time I see anything to do with Ahmadinejad he comes across as a paranoid, bigoted moron. I'm amazed he was even willing to speak to Piers Morgan, although they do have a lot in common.

[QUOTE=Upgrade123;37779443]Because the point of love is to make more people for our 7-billion-strong planet, obviously. :rolleye:[/QUOTE] That and not accepting homosexuality is not going to increase the number of births. Being intolerant to an homosexual person is not going to make him suddenly fuck every woman he sees or her crap out babies for lack of better things to do with her vaigna. Plus statistically there will always be less homosexuality than heterosexuality so regardless of the existence of homosexuality or its non-existence humanity would still grow.

Its kind of ironic how they're one of the most technologically advanced and one of the most "western" nations in the Middle East yet the president has the balls to defend his conservative position on Gays. but his other points made sense.

[QUOTE=BoysLightUp;37781565]like the ones about how this has nothing to do with free speech and and its ultimately the west's fault for allowing the production of offensive material?[/QUOTE] the ability to criticize groups you disagree with has absolutely nothing to do with free speech? do you know what free speech actually is?

[quote]"the abuse of freedom"[/quote] WHO CARES what you think Amadinajihad. Your opinions are ridiculous and worthless.

[QUOTE=Van-man;37781468]Heeheeeeee, Needle dick :v:[/QUOTE] It's funny because I am pretty sure we humans used to have barbs on our penises, just like felines and some primates. From what I know we have lost them so sex would last longer, which allows for a greater bond to be made between both partners. If both partners are intimately bound after having sex, then the ensuing child will very likely have two parents rather than only one caring mother and an absent father which would then increase his chances of survival. Evolution is great isn't it
