'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.

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.

"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...

They also execute Muslims who convert to Christianity. Do you approve of that as well?

I was watching the local news tonight on KGO in San Francisco. What was hilarious was that they never once mentioned Ahmedinejad’s outrageous statement about there not being any gays in Iran anywhere in their newscast.

I could not believe they would omit such a revealing point that would make him a laughing stock to their audience, ie to the gay capital of America. Talk about putting blinders on....

'No homosexuals in Iran'

They killed them all. Some of those "suspicious" facilities are probably "bathhouses" and "crematoriums".

Yea, and that was about the only time the crowd sent boos his way.

It was sarcasm but to be precise, I do not have a problem with cultures that discourage homosexuality. We were once that way.

I consider it a perversion that once it gains widespread tolerance knows little bounds.

I don’t think folks should be executed for it but noether should their sexual perversion be granted recognition or privilege as an identity.
