'No homosexuals in Iran': Ahmadinejad
6 hours ago

NEW YORK (AFP) — Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad skirted a question about the treatment of homosexuals in Iran on Monday, saying in a speech at a top US university that there were no gays in Iran.

"In Iran we don't have homosexuals like in your country," Ahmadinejad said to howls and boos among the Columbia University audience.

"In Iran we do not have this phenomenon, I don't know who has told you that we have it," he said.

Ahmadinejad was challenged during his appearance on Amnesty International figures that suggested that 200 people had been executed in Iran so far this year, among them homosexuals.

"Don't you have capital punishment in the United States? You do too. In Iran there is capital punishment," he said.

'No homosexuals in Iran'

Sounds like a vacation hotspot...

[RichInOC]

“Ain’t nobody here but us bestialists!”

[Man50D]

Now he’ll make sure there are no homos in Iran after that statement just to prove himself true.

[sinanju]

The Kossacks will find some way to forgive him that remark. For crying out loud, there’s a group calling itself “Queers for Palestine.” Notwithstanding the short shrift Palestinian homosexuals get in the territories.

[armymarinemom]

Ever since he said this I keep thinking about the song from An American Tail, “There are No Cats in America”.

[garyhope]

So I guess he doesn’t count buggering little boys, goats and sheep doesn’t count?

[humblegunner]

'No homosexuals in Iran'

Uh huh.

Smooch him good, Ahmadinejad.

[o_zarkman44]

Hey, they are all animals. Thats why they fraternize each other.

[ElkGroveDan]

Of course there are no (open) homosexuals in Iran. They're all put to death as soon as there's an allegation. IIRC, the preferred method is to bind them beneath a stone wall, and then push the wall over on them, crushing them to death.

'No homosexuals in Iran'

The major point is that he's obviously lying. And, if he's lying about the this issue, then how can I (or anyone else for that matter) believe him in the context of his intentions with Nuclear Energy?

[humblegunner]

He don’t go out with girls anymore.
He don’t intend to marry.
He likes boys now.
WHEE! He’s a fairy!

[UglyinLA]

‘No homosexuals in Iran’

I’m willing to bet they dont have illegal aliens either.

[eastforker]

Of course he’s lying. I am going to rename him “ Tehran Moham”

[John Jorsett]

There are no homosexuals because Iran practices, “Do ask, don’t live.”

[killermosquito]

Well said (er...written).

[cquiggy]

Maybe his statement that there are no gays in Iran was Clintonesque. Technically since he was at Columbia University and not in Iran. I think he is Gay.

[pissant]

guess they go for goats of the opposite gender....

[Red_Devil 232]

Ever seen a picture of Mo IamonJihad with a woman?

[RichInOC]

Okay, I thought that orthodox Jews in particular had severe problems with handling pork.

[shield]

Nutjob was saying our country is not vile like the Great Satan evil western society.

[citizencon]

Well, he’s right...Barney Frank is a phenomenon.

[durasell]

If the entire spectacle isn’t all over the net by now, I’d be surprised. Whatever credibility the guy had in the west is now completely gone.

[the invisib1e hand]

'No homosexuals in Iran'

and the outcry from the liberals on this is...."".

Politics does seem to make, er, strange bedfellows.

[BigLittle]

[TheMole]

Actually the crushing-them-under-stone-walls things was the Taliban's favorite method of executing gays in Afghanistan. Current Iranian practice favors strangling them slowly by hanging them with cranes.

[the invisib1e hand]

I just flew in from Tehran and boy are my arms tired! But seriously folks...

[ikka]

In Iran we don't have homosexuals like in your country,

Pay attention to EXACTLY what he is saying.

"Like in your country" could mean "they are different from the homos in your country".

[Thumper1960]

None there 'cuz they're all dead?

Of course, fanaticism and hatred know no political, cultural, religious or psychological boundaries. The Iranian AntiChrist proves it by his very existence and by our failure to cull his kind from the human family.

[Boston Blackie]

[durasell]

No, what he is saying is that something about freedom or in the American culture creates homosexuals.

It’s one thing to say something like that when you own the media, quite another in a free society.

[Globalist Goon]

Sounds like denial.

[Globalist Goon]

Sounds like denial.

[wardaddy]

one thing Islam gets right...discourage buggery

[Sen Jack S. Fogbound]

Knowing how Iran treat the homos, why don’t we send Barney Frank over?

[blinachka]

"Like in your country" could mean "they are different from the homos in your country".

OR...he could be telling the truth simply because the homosexulas in the Islamic Republic of Iran are all KILLED. They don't exist because they're DEAD.

[George W. Bush]

"In Iran we don't have homosexuals like in your country," Ahmadinejad said to howls and boos among the Columbia University audience.

The president of Iran went on to explain that they simply execute any homosexuals.

[Libloather]

Hanging Chads?

[tacticalogic]

No homosexuals in Iran

Maybe not, but you're still gay.

[Senator Goldwater]

‘No homosexuals in Iran’

Then why can’t he sit down?

[Nonstatist]

one thing Islam gets right...discourage buggery

Youre kidding, arent you? Buggery is rampant over there, the discouragement of casual relations bewtween unmarrieds and the high rate of polygamy encourages clandestine buggery and pedophiliac rape. They just dont want it out of the closet. Its more than rumor that many of the powerful mullahs in Iran have various "go-boys" to satisfy their carnal needs..

Let me tell you something, the Iran "leadership" is filled with quite a few perverted sickees, just like in Hitler's governement. Thats the nature of Fascistic tyrannies.

[whatisthetruth]

No toe-tapping scandals in Iran

[RichInOC]

"Willkommen, bienvenue, welcome...
"Fremde, etranger, stranger...
"Glücklich zu sehen, je suis enchante,
"Happy to see you...bleibe, reste, stay,
"Willkommen, bienvenue, welcome...
"Im Cabaret, au Cabaret, to Cabaret."

"In Iran we don't have homosexuals like in your country,"

"Yup, I think we killed every last one of the faggots!"

[proudCArepublican]

yeh because they get killed if they are

[vox humana]

In Iran we don't have homosexuals like in your country...

The lady doth protest too much, methinks.

[Tallguy]

Sounds like a good destination for a “Rosie Cruise”!

[Gerfang]

Sounds like a vacation hotspot...

While you're there, visit Terran's lovely Fountain of Blood.

[eggman]

Columbia University, where don’t ask, don’t tell will get you thrown off campus but kill all queers will only get a few boos and jeers.

No hypocrisy there.

[fortunecookie]

"In Iran we don't have homosexuals like in your country,"

That is true. None like 'we' have in 'this' country. Most are in hiding, I'm sure. In other words, those daring enough to go public are being rounded up and executed, if any of the words coming out of Iran are true. There may still be some daring enough to admit it, but he has his best people on that...
