Fumigate the Place
So Columbia University went through with it, after all. There was a headline the day previous out of Bloomberg News printed in the National Post that the university had decided at the last moment to disinvite that vile personage, but they got it wrong. Freedom of enquiry is sacred in the hallowed halls of academe, and who are the great unwashed to argue with that?Freedom of expression is yet another one of our hallowed rights, to be extolled and extended to all and sundry, however despicable their message happens to be, however contrary to all the expectations and values of a civilized society. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was anxious to appear in such an impressive intellectual forum, ready to respond to his questioners, agreeing beforehand to respond to a set of enquiries.
"We need to take advantage of such opportunities to present the positions of the Iranian people as they (the Americans) are very keen to hear them." Said he. Wot? Wot! That preeningly pompous popinjay; that the absolute best he could do? The Americans are keen to hear his fascist views on the rights and privileges of the honourable country he represents. Dollars to doughnuts half the population of Iran winced in embarrassment.
A stout upholder of human rights, knowing how commanding his stalwart figure would appear to his over-awed questioners who no doubt would be struck dumb at the sight of that sacred light filtering about his head. The same halo he described at his last appearance at the United Nations, setting him apart and above other humans whose knowledge of the imminent arrival of the Hidden Prophet is absent.
"The General Assembly of the United Nations is a good opportunity to present the solutions of the Iranian people to solve the problems of the world", quoth he to his adoring public and the news-slavering reporters thrusting microphones representing all the credible news agencies of the world toward this sterling representative of the human race for quotable ripostes.
Such as his precious responses during his time at Columbia University when he patiently sat out its president's introductory lauding of Ahmadinejad's administration and worldly view of history and the affairs of the world. His heroic figure did not shrink from public display, nor did he hesitate in the face of truly unfortunate uncomplimentary protests by the rabid crowd of protesters outside the institute.
So what did those present learn at this splendid opportunity to question the political leader of ancient Persia? His usual, balanced, thoughtful, insightful world view unfolded for all to grasp the opportunity to understand that which they have so egregiously erred in perceiving. The unfortunately incorrect information being bruited around about the human rights record in his country, for example.
There is no incarceration, torture and murder of homosexuals in Iran; the audience, like the country at large, is sadly misinformed. For the very simple reason that there are no such freaks of nature in Iran. Homosexuals, lesbians, the trans-gendered are symptoms of American degeneracy; they exist in the United States, not in Iran. Understand?
The Baha'i, that ancient offshoot of early Islam is not at all harassed in Iran. We must understand that simple fact. In fact, the Baha'i are illegal. A difficult concept for North Americans to grasp, granted, but they are illegal, and as such have no official standing, and since they have no official standing they are not qualified to have protection under the law. Understand?
As for the Holocaust, Iranians do not claim it did not exist. It may well have been a fact of life and death of Jews. It is the extent to which it occurred, the numbers involved that official Iran questions. The Jews are so fond of exaggeration. The purported Holocaust was a simple fabrication in its width and breadth, a very useful tool for future exploitation of sympathy. The question one must ask is what qualifies the incidence of the Holocaust to persecute the Palestinians and to grasp their land?
Israel, you ask? What about it? Oh, its deserving obliteration. What's your problem with that? Nice of you to ask, but the response is self-evident; it is an illegal Zionist entity. Understand?
