Iran’s take on Ahmadinejad’s speech
When this is shown to the people of Iran and to Muslim fundamentalists from around the world, do you think they will see that part of the speech? (The Bollinger “attack”) Do you think they will see Ahmadinejad ducking questions and delivering flat out lies? Of course not. They will see the edited version in which some idiots in the crowd actually cheered for the Tehranian Tyrant.
Here is the entire printed story in today’s Iranian state run media:
Despite entire US media objections, negative propagation and hue and cry in recent days over IRI President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s scheduled address at Colombia University, he gave his lecture and answered students questions here on Monday afternoon.
On second day of his entry in New York, and amid standing ovation of the audience that had attended the hall where the Iranian President was to give his lecture as of early hours of the day, Ahmadinejad said that Iran is not going to attack any country in the world.
Before President Ahamadinejad’s address, Colombia University Chancellor in a brief address told the audience that they would have the chance to hear Iran’s stands as the Iranian President would put them forth.
He said that the Iranians are a peace loving nation, they hate war, and all types of aggression.
Referring to the technological achievements of the Iranian nation in the course of recent years, the president considered them as a sign for the Iranians’ resolute will for achieving sustainable development and rapid advancement.
The audience on repeated occasion applauded Ahmadinejad when he touched on international crises.
At the end of his address President Ahmadinejad answered the students’ questions on such issues as Israel, Palestine, Iran’s nuclear program, the status of women in Iran and a number of other matters.
No mention of the massive protests. No mention of the “boos” he received at time while speaking. No mention of the “there are no gays in Iran” statement. No talk of the Holocaust… and … as I predicted to you… they didn’t hear about the opening “attack” by President Bollinger that people seem to be so proud of today.
