Ahmadinejad’s Must Read Claims

Kamangir | September 17, 2007 | Category Iran, Islamic Republic

Ahmadinejad is going to New York, for attending a UN meeting. Before the trip, he answered to a handful of questions in the state-run television channel Jam-e Jam [Persian], which targets outside Iran. These are some of his sentences,

1- I have never been involved in a fight…I am not either a dictator or a violent person.

2- In Iran, there is no chance of dictatorship, because everything belongs to the people and people decide about everything….Americans have killed many people in Latin America, Africa and Iraq and must be tried for that.

3- It is sad when an Iraqi or a [American] soldier is killed in Iraq. Many of these soldiers don’t know where they are. They are poor and have become a soldier for its money. The 15 Birtish soldiers we captured a while ago didn’t know which part of the world they were in. [American] occupiers [of Iraq] send us letters. They think I am the president of Iraq. Many of them don’t even know where they are.

5- American students send me letters. They don’t have enough information and some of them think I am a Palestinian. When I was in New York, whenever the car slowed down, American youth would fist their hands [to show their support].

6- Europeans are outraged because of their governments’ support for Israel. They must hold referendums to decide about the Zionist regime.

7- We should give students scarfs with the peaceful nuclear energy symbol on them, for them to wear at school.

8- Americans always talk about human rights. They have no idea what human rights is. Wiretapping happens everyday in the US. A couple cannot speak together there. Do we do these things in Iran?

I hope you too Kamangir, have come to realize your ass-kissing of all things Western is futile, as today’s news from France will show you.
Roman Kalik | September 17th, 2007 at 2:37 pm
lol! I especially like his claim about American and British soldiers being poor and uneducated, which is the kind of claim Id’ve expected the old Soviet Union to make. Perhaps someone should tell him that a professional army of the kind the US has, has very strict entry criteria, both physical and mental. You have to be smart and fit to get into the US army.

His claim of being a peaceful and non-violent man was cute as well. Much of the rest seems to have really been taken out of a Soviet propaganda manual, like the American youth supposedly showing their support to AJ.

As for you, Al-Kindi, when even the French speak of attacking Iran’s nuclear facilities as a viable option, as France’s Foreign Minister Kouchner did, I think it’s safe to say that the Islamic Republic’s regime looks completely and utterly insane to an outside observer.
Al-Kindi | September 17th, 2007 at 3:27 pm
Yes, it is “safe to say”… the “Islamic Republic”… is “insane”…

At the end of the day we are going to war with Iran, Islamic Republic or Democratic Iran or whatever. Innocent blood will be shed. What else is there to say?

Isn’t Ahmadinejad a wanted man in assassination of the Iranian-Kurdish Leader?

According to other OSU officials, when the idea of storming the U.S. embassy in Tehran was raised in the OSU central committee by Mirdamadi and Abdi, Ahmadinejad suggested storming the Soviet embassy at the same time. A decade later, most OSU leaders re-grouped around Khatami but Ahmadinejad remained loyal to the ultra-conservatives.

During the crackdown on universities in 1980, which Khomeini called the â€œIslamic Cultural Revolutionâ€, Ahmadinejad and the OSU played a critical role in purging dissident lecturers and students many of whom were arrested and later executed. Universities remained closed for three years and Ahmadinejad joined the Revolutionary Guards.

In the early 1980s, Ahmadinejad worked in the â€œInternal Securityâ€ department of the IRGC and earned notoriety as a ruthless interrogator and torturer. According to the state-run website Baztab, allies of outgoing President Mohammad Khatami have revealed that Ahmadinejad worked for some time as an executioner in the notorious Evin Prison, where thousands of political prisoners were executed in the bloody purges of the 1980s.

In 1986, Ahmadinejad became a senior officer in the Special Brigade of the Revolutionary Guards and was stationed in Ramazan Garrison near Kermanshah in western Iran. Ramazan Garrison was the headquarters of the Revolutionary Guardsâ€™ â€œextra-territorial operationsâ€, a euphemism for terrorist attacks beyond Iranâ€™s borders.

Al kinid: Can you tell me what entails all-things Eastern? Is the way Islamic Republic conduct itself qualify for being all-things Eastern or all-things Islamic?
Al-Kindi | September 17th, 2007 at 5:13 pm
No, I cannot. I am too busy expressing my grief and sorrow that I, as an American Muslim, am powerless to do anything to halt aggression against the Muslim ummah.

Al Kindi: I think you’re using your “grief” as an escapegoat here. It might help your grief if you talk things out.
Observer | September 17th, 2007 at 6:29 pm
Ahmadinejad is a sick religious fanatic. Giving him nuclear weapons is like giving a loaded gun to an infatn.
Malagent | September 17th, 2007 at 6:51 pm
If Iran was not such a [potential] threat Ahmadinejad would just be great entertainment! I might just have to go to NY to meet this clown.

I wrote a lengthy email to him some time back just to see what response if any I would get. After all his website claims he talks with many Americans all the time. It’s been well over a year and no response.

I am trying to imagine a soldier in Iraq writing a letter, addressing it to him (in Iran) and asking for directions because they are lost. “Uh, Mr. Ahmadinejad, I don’t know where I am but since your the Iraqi president can you send me a map?”

He must have ignored the finger.
John Moore | September 17th, 2007 at 10:18 pm
It sounds like he’s a narcissist through and through. A dangerous man.

BTW, Al Kindi slanders American troops with:

And BTW, in America if you have half a brain you pursue a college degree, if you have less than half you sign up for boot-camp.

Hey, AL Kindi, dummy, the US military has the brightest bunch of enlisted men it has ever had. Many have college degrees. Many join out of patriotism (as I did during Vietnam). Your juvenile ideas suck!
Roman Kalik | September 18th, 2007 at 12:18 am
Al-Kindi, and is the blood of Iranians redder and more innocent than that of Iraqis? Or Lebanese? Or Bahrainis, for that matter?

Is Muslim blood more innocent than that of Israelis? Or Argentinians?

Had the IRI no nuclear program and no insane leaders, there would be no potential war to fear. Perhaps one or the other should go, or both. Perhaps it’s time that innocent Iranians gain control of their lives, and stop leaders who bring them to the brink of war with endless calls of supremacy and agression.

No one likes war, but sometimes the alternatives are even more war and bloodshed in the near future. No one wants to see the Islamic Republic of Iran as a regional power, with the exception of Lebanon’s Hezbollah. The consequences may very well be dire. And no one wants to even *consider* the possibility of religious fanatics with nuclear launch codes.
Al-Kindi | September 18th, 2007 at 6:47 am
Has anyone here ever heard about a country called the Islamic Republic of Pakistan?
tedders | September 18th, 2007 at 7:07 am
“Islamic Republic of Pakistan” Yes, and it is the poster child for lawlessness and self mutilation. Not a very good example Al, you’re just proving our point.

“…American youth would fist their hands [to show their support]…”
Haha!!!

sometimes i so want to comment more here, but i don’t dare(for personal reasons) but … do keep up the good work.
thank you

your silent readers ;)
Roman Kalik | September 18th, 2007 at 8:13 am
Yes, we have heard of it. Fortunately, its leadership has yet to threaten numerous countries with war and terrorism. Also fortunately, Pakistan’s government is somewhat less insane than Iran’s. Unfortunately, they managed to gain nuclear arms (and spread nuclear tech to other nasty countries) before anyone managed to even notice.

That one nasty country managed to get nuclear, doesn’t mean that another nasty country should get a free pass due to that.
serendip | September 18th, 2007 at 10:50 am
I don’t think al-kindi is Iranian. I think he is an arab mercenary for the Islamic republic.
ella | September 18th, 2007 at 12:04 pm
I think al Kindi might be an arab, somebody from the south of Lebanon, he has all the symptoms including but not limited to belief that umma is under attack (eg. widespread aggression against the Muslims, as he has wrote)
An unfortunate byproduct of exaggeration of the power of Israel and of the worldwide Jewish community has been the widespread acceptance in the Arab and Muslim world of “The Protocols of the elders of Zion”. This book, an early twientieth-century Russian anti-Semitic forgery purporting to be the minutes of a program established by Zionists to dominate the world and turn it into a techno-dictatorship, has became extremely important to radical Muslims to establish a paranoid outlook towards the world. …..Contemporary popular (radical) Islamic literature emphasizes the idea that there is a worldwide conspiracy against Islam, usually said to be led by Jews and Christians (with Hindus occasionally), with the ultimate goal of literally annihilating Islam and murdering all Muslims.

Oh I would SO LOVE to debate President Ahmadinejad! I’d even put on a head scarf and wear a floor length dress an wear long sleeves so he wouldn’t have stare at floor as we debated, or would be afriad he might touch me.

The unedicated citizen vs the Iranian President — can’t you just see it. I’d kick his twisted religious dictatorship into outer space! I would would not do as reporters have done and let him avoid answers — I would insist he answer questions until he does so.

Let him bring along his whole staff to help him. I’ll pick three Iranian-American bloggers to assist me. He’d go home in shame, unable to win a debate with this stupid American.

al-kindi

your assumption that the US forces are mainly recruited of stupid or people of poor background is plain false.

Here is a solid statistical study showing the opposite. http://www.heritage.org/Research/NationalSecurity/cda05-08.cfm

Somehow I feel that you would never let the facts stand in the way of your prejudice.
quadji, the angry American | September 19th, 2007 at 10:34 am
Hey Al Kindi: “And BTW, in America if you have half a brain you pursue a college degree, if you have less than half you sign up for boot-camp.” So you’re saying that Iraq was beaten twice, the Germans were beaten twice, Japan was beaten, and the British were beaten twice; by a country of half-wits? No wonder why Iran is terrified of the U.S. attacking and kicking the living crap out of Iran and it’s so-called president. Our “half a brain” soldiers are smarter than the best that the rest of the world mcould throw at them. “A nuke a day keeps the Iranians away”. Do you know that 95% of Americans hate and revile Iran and would cheer if a B1 dropped a nuke on Tehran? We common americans are tired of your little pip-skweak 3rd world dung pile countries thinking that you can hold the world hostage with your terroristic threats. Remember that we are the only superpower now, and to fear us would be wise.
