Ahmadinejad to the Iranian People.

So here is a clip of Iranian President Ahmadinejad in Tehran in an address to them. After watching the clip, you can look at my remarks. These remarks are in response to the biggest criticisms and contradictions I found. Simply disgusting this guy is. Also, as a general note, I have many issues with the Islamic faith. This does not mean I have issues with Muslims themselves. My problem lies with fanatical Islamists and any and all attacks on my friends, families, or anyone else threatened by them. Having said that, here is my analysis.

1) “I am not anti-Jewish at all”. Really? I guess wanting to wipe the Jews off the face of the earth is true love?

2) “All the world’s monotheistic religions take pride in our prophet.” As an Orthodox Christian, I don’t believe in your prophet at all. I don’t think he was a prophet. I don’t think he was enlightened. I don’t think your faith has any base to it.

3) “They [Israeli Jews] are not Jews, but a bunch of corrupt criminals who abuse the name of Judaism. They are lying. The leaders of arrogance (America) are lying too.” But you cannot lie because you are Muslim. You wouldn’t have any motivation to ever lie would you? Please explain how the Jews are corrupt criminals. You speak of their evil deeds, but your words rot fast.

4) “You purport to be Christian”. While I agree that many of our leaders claim to be Christian, but our government is not theocratic. We are a republic and base our government off of a constitution. There is a separation of church and state, something you cannot comprehend. Your visit to Columbia showed this. You spoke about Allah and his wishes and plans, etc. for the first 1/3 of your speech. We are not predominately Muslim in the U.S. and we are not theocratic, so your speech wasted both time and effort.

5) “In what way are your measures consistent with the teachings of Jesus? Would he have people killed? Would he have perpetrated crimes in order to fill his pockets and the pockets of his party members?...You are lying when you claim to be Christian. …In what way do you resemble Jesus”? Again my misguided friend, our nation provides for self-determination of religion. We do not force Christianity on our people and therefore, we don’t have to measure up to Jesus’ standards. On a personal level, any given Christian should follow Jesus’ teachings. Unfortunately, you again assume us to be a theocratic state. If Ahmadinejad has proof of American and not Christian crimes, he should present his information. Otherwise, learn the difference between a Judeo-Christian based secular state and a single-minded theocratic state.

6) “My dears, all the oppression and misery originate in their religion.” Interesting you bring this up. What oppression do we face that you do not? While equality is a struggle in any nation, the American people can assure you they would enjoy our freedoms over yours any day. It is the Iranian nation that finds inferior, both women and homosexuals. That is oppression, not equality. What misery can he find in our nation that is not found everywhere? If he is trying to pick on Christianity and awful things our forefathers have done, he should be careful to build all houses free of glass. The Islamic empires have been the most ruthless religious murderers. For nearly 360 years, the Ottoman empire enslaved the Greeks. The religion that is known for “its strong stand on racial equality and its freedom from a history of racism and colonialism” sure has a lot to explain. For example, the former word for “black” (meaning a black person, not the color) was “slave”. Not racist? Seems to me they thought pretty highly of themselves. For more information about the lack of peaceful harmony in Islam, check out my blog called “The Peace-less Religion aka Islam”. The point at hand, however, is that the Islamic religion is FAR from being peaceful. It is one of the most, if not the most, oppressive religion known to mankind.

7) “The life-curve of these superpowers is on the decline. As we can see, they are on the path to rapid collapse”. Perhaps we are on the decline. Unfortunately, your primary thesis lacks validity. Every great power eventually goes on the decline. America may very well be on the decline, but it has little to do with anything you are proposing. I can’t see this rapid collapse, can you show me please? Can you show your own people?

8) “We don’t use religion to scare our people”. Oh, that’s right. It wasn’t the Muslims that forced Islam on the people it conquered. It wasn’t them that forced their new “servants” to convert to Islam or become second-class citizens and lose all basic human rights. Oh wait, yes it was! Without the threat of religion and the earthly rewards that would be granted to those who converted, what would they have used? People became Muslim in order to retain the right to live. Many others, however, became martyrs for their faith and refused to give in to this farce of a religion. So don’t even try saying you or your Islamic brethren don’t use religion to scare people. You are again shown as a liar.

9) Addressing the issue of America being deadlocked across the world, my response is as follows: Perhaps, we are in a complete deadlock in Afghanistan, Iraq, Palestine, and Lebanon because we don’t want to just nuke them. Perhaps we’re being too nice and trying for a peaceful ending? Just because we’re in a deadlock doesn’t mean that we are unsuccessful. Nice try.

10) “They are subject to curses and insults from their own peoples as well. You are not accepted even by your own people, let alone by the peoples of the world”. He is of course talking about the U.S. leaders here. Yes, Mr. Ahmadinejad, our leaders are cursed and insulted. It is something we call free speech. Oh wait, let me start from the beginning. In the U.S.A., we have something called rights. It means people are allowed to do things without fear of repercussions. This is nothing new since the beginning of time. We then came up with our Bill of Rights by which we are able to speak freely without fear of someone coming to kill us. While we many not always be in favor of our leaders, we will gladly choose them over you and your regime any day. They are accepted by our people on at least an amicable level.

This man CANNOT be allowed into the U.S. anymore. He is far too dangerous and people need to start waking up to this.
