The man has his right to his opinion, just like everyone else. You have the right to think he's a hypocritical fanatic. Which is fine. Lots of people think that. But please stop making posts saying things like Islam likes you lying, etc. That just makes you look racist, and really, makes you just as hypocritical as he is. If you want to write about how you disagree with the man, that's fine. You have every right to voice your opinion. So does he. There's no reason why he shouldn't be allowed to speak in a public forum, the same way any US President (no, I'm not calling out Bush) has the same right. Allowing foreign leaders to speak freely is something that our country allows because it is a fundamental belief of the people who made this country. If other countries don't want to do the same, that's their problem. Take the high road, allow the man to speak, and critique him with intelligence after he does so.
I call a spade a spade.
It has become as routine for terrorists to rationalize their insanity on the basis of "Islamic fundamentalism." People of the Christian fundamentalist faith are no different in this respect (the Crusades). I have simply pointed out that Ahmadinejad appears to be in synch with Islamic fundamentalistism.
Religion cannot justify atrocities against the United States any more than it justifies thuggery in Northern Ireland. Murder is murder. Even though people like Ahmadindjad use religion to support their views, I suppose that there is nothing religious about it?
