anyone think mahmoud ahmadinejad is just a silly "troll"?

imported_guy

i mean come on LOL, he ONLY talks about classical trolling topics

-holocaust denial (and the way he invited the KKK leader to iran to a holocaust denial summit or something lol)
-homosexuality (or the nonexistance of it in iran)
-zionism/jews and how bad they are, and wiping them off the map

and every time i hear these 2 speeches i just burst out laughing, what a character lol.

pushing his antisemetic agenda at a anti-racism conference LOL

Careful there lad, he could have a lot of friends in here:cool:

Biggins

He's a much mis-lead headcase. He's also just a figurehead also for more hardliners too I suspect.
Maybe even a fall guy!

Kiwi_knock

I do not really know what to think of him. I think he only says these things to get a reaction, he looks for the headlines and the world's media focus on Iran. I say he loves that he is in the papers nearly everyday mostly with stories concerning his absurd views. I don't really think he is a believer of most of the stuff he says but rather he believes in the effect it will have on people.

moonpurple

don't like him for shooting protesters off the street,

I would lend my passport for the next mossad assasin trip, if he is going under the pillow, if they are online, get in touch

I don't know about the rest but he didn't say the part about holocaust denial he was misquoted

djsomers

He has never denied the Holocaust happend. But what people see is that the western world are afraid of Islam and the truth. The truth is that Israel was founded (and is still ruled) by terrorists who killed the British (who were trying to keep the peace), Arabs and Jews alike. The state of Israel does not recognise the rights of Orthodox Jews, Christians and Muslims. It is completely abhorant for the state of Israal to use the victims of the Holocaust to land grab in the name of Judaism. Any God fearing Jewish person will see by their history and in the teachings of their faith that this propagated war on "Terrorism" is a lie. We must remember the Holocaust and it's victims, never use it as a stick to beat with. What fault was it of Palestine or the Palestinians. This happened in Europe. That was Ahmadinejad's point, nothing more.

well i agree with alot of what you say, im not saying zionism is good or anything, actully thats one of ahmedinejad's views that i support, and well i know media likes to be dramatic specially the likes of fox news so i take everything with a grain of salt, and i know he was probably misquouted on trying to wipe israel off the map and outright trying to deny the holocaust, and i know there are alot of jews who actully SUPPORT him and his anti zionist views.

i actully agree isreal is not really a legit state, but they are the ones with the big daddy's support so...:rolleyes:

some trolls are actully cool people :P, maybe hes one of them?

Well I didn't read your other post, I just watched the videos you posted and didn't find much wrong with what he was saying. I don't know why people make him out to be some kind of looney.

.... Anti-Zionist and anti-Semetic go hand-in-hand ? :pac:

Like anti-terrorism and anti-islam yeah ? Or anti-terrorism and anti-Irish ?

Ahmadinejad may be wrong on many points but he's got it fairly correct when he talks about Zionism. Zionism is the politically correct and globally acceptable form of Nazism.

There are many anti-Zionists who are not anti-Semetic.

well as we say not all muslims are terrorists but most terrorists these days are muslim

in alot of cases anti terrorism and anti islam does go hand in hand (if its a red neck shouting fcuk jihad that kills both birds with one stone the red neck is pretty smart at being both anti terroristic/patriotic and anti islamist at the same time)

anti terroism and anti irish? i dont think you get the point unless you're reffering to the IRA days when most brits actully thought all irish people are scumbags associated with the rah?

where are you going to draw the line between anti semetism and anti zionism?, if you are strongly anti-semetic (AKA hitler) you are anti zionist by default, if you want to kill every single jew why support their struggle for their own homeland?

Most terrorists where ? You mean most terrorists in the media today ?

How easily peoples attention can be controlled.

in alot of cases anti terrorism and anti islam does go hand in hand

So to be anti-terrorism you must be anti-islam ? or at least the majority of people who are anti-terrorism should be anti-islam ?

Jaysus that makes great sense. Sher why didn't the Brits ever think about just killing all the olde catholics in Northern Ireland, that would have dealt with the IRA.

(if its a red neck shouting fcuk jihad that kills both birds with one stone the red neck is pretty smart at being both anti terroristic/patriotic and anti islamist at the same time)

Yeah .... no.

anti terroism and anti irish? i dont think you get the point unless you're reffering to the IRA days when most brits actully thought all irish people are scumbags associated with the rah?

So back in the day, you'd agree that been anti-terrorist and been anti-Irish went hand-in-hand ?

where are you going to draw the line between anti semetism and anti zionism?,

Easily.

Antisemitism (also spelled anti-semitism or anti-Semitism) is prejudice against or hostility towards Jews, often rooted in hatred of their ethnic background, culture, or religion.

Zionism (Hebrew: ציונות‎, Tsiyonut) is an international nationalist[1] political movement that, in its broadest sense, calls for the existence of a sovereign, Jewish national homeland.

I am not prejudiced against Jews nor have any ill-feeling towards their ethnic background, culture or religion.

I am against many aspects of Zionism. I am against the idea of a Jewish state for the Jewish people just as much as I'm against a 'catholic state' for the Irish people. I wonder how the world would react if we started treating ethnic/cultural minorities in Ireland as the Israeli's are treating the Palestinians. Zionism is apartheid without stating it.

I agree that people of Semetic backgrounds have every right to live where they are, but setting up a religious state where everyone else is a second class citizen by default is not right. Will never be right and can never be justified.

Israel is South Africa 20 years ago.

if you are strongly anti-semetic (AKA hitler) you are anti zionist by default, if you want to kill every single jew why support their struggle for their own homeland?

Sure, anti-semetic means your also anti-Zionist.

But it doesn't work the other way round. Been anti-Zionist does not necessarily mean your anti-Semetic.

Andrew33

I personally think he's a bit of a Michael O Leary, he provokes reaction but there's a lot of truth in what he says when you get past the bluster. And I have some respect for the guy for standing up to western powers throwing their weight around and trying to bully countries into submission just because they sing a different tune.

Well - that's easy, there are two seperate things that are not related.

Firstly - opposing zionism does not involve "killing every single jew". Opposing zionism means that you oppose the zionist plan of creating a homeland at the expense of the native population.

Not sure why people are so up in arms about what Ahmadinejad is saying. What he is doing is a textbook tactic, practiced by nearly every state: find a (real or perceived) enemy, and bash them to distract attention from your failiings at home.

Only reason we are outraged about this is that for Ahmadinejad this enemy is Israel and the US.

But for Putin this enemy is US, Georgia and the Chechens.

For Bush this enemy was 'the terrorists'.

Mark27

Irishconvert how come people like you never mention HAMAS shotting rockets onto innocent peoples property in Israel including schools? Does Israel not have the right to defend itself and its people?

Ahmadinejad severly restricts human rights and civil liberties in Iran, homosexuals are treated like pedophiles or worse, democratic protests end up with the ringleaders being hung and women who cheat end up being stoned to death.

He has called for Israel to be wiped off the map several times, he denies the halocast becuse he knows it gets under Israel skin, he basically hates Jews and there is a considerable chance he would shoot a nuclear bomb into Israel given have a chance or the technology. Although i personally think the real reason for the nuclear program is so that he can still try and grab the world attention once Iran's oil supply dries up or the demand weakens due to increase of green technology. (North Korea)

Its silly saying prisoners are held in Guantanamo bay for years because in Ireland alone it can take up to two years for a murder trial to come to court, while the accused is on remand in prison. Also in fairness to America they have never once invaded a Democratic country where the people have equal right and have actually elected their leader.

the Americans and British are trying to do the right thing in Iraq and Afganistan. The reason its taking so long is because the West has to abide by the Geneva convention and cant use the sort of extreme violent measures needed to control the militants. Whereas as Saddam could. i.e A visit by Saddam to northern Iraq while he was still in power, resulted in a gunshot or assasination attempt being made on his life. And what did he do? Pulled 88 young male kurds out of the crowd and executed them as a means to keep control.

But im guessing you're convinced he is a hero, and Bush and Blair are the real killers? Plus if you like them so much, why dont you just move out there and not come back?
