Ahmadinejad calls some opponents “less intelligent than a young goat”

In his trip to Southern Khorasan Province, Ahmadinejad stated [Persian],
The whole world has been created for that holy day to occur [the Islamic Armageddon]. The day in which all the prophets and martyrs and good people will arrive and will help. Some people ridicule this. They have no faith in their hearts. These are modern idolaters and devil worshipers. They pretend to be intellectuals but are in fact less intelligent than a young goat.
Well, Mr president, I don’t necessarily ridicule the idea of the Islamic Armageddon, but I don’t subscribe to it. And last time I looked at myself in a mirror I was not a goat.

At least the goat, had he even had the intelligence, it is doubtful it would question if he was even made by his creator. Ithink the president’s statement is an accurate analogy.
I think his statement that the world was created for an Islamic Armegeddon is pretty accurate. Since Islamic fundamentalism is incompatible with Democracy, and more and more people want to be free, the Islamic world will experience their armegeddon sooner than later and the end result will be millions of people who are free to live how they choose to without fear of religious or political repression.
