Does ahmadinejad said the truth?

Question

(please tell me ur opinion and ur nationality.)
the result will be part of a research in politics major.

Answer 1

Ahmadinejad can dodge questions well and is adept at reading a speech. He is a Mahdaviat (a person who believes in and prepares for the Mahdi.) Ahmadinejad spoke at the UN in 2005 and alluded to Imam Mahdi. In his speech of September 19, 2006 at the UN he averred, "I emphatically declare that today's world, more than ever before, longs for just and righteous people with love for all humanity; and above all longs for the perfect righteous human being and the real savior who has been promised to all peoples and who will establish justice, peace and brotherhood on the planet." Then he prayed, ""Oh, Almighty God, all men and women are your creatures and you have ordained their guidance and salvation. Bestow upon humanity that thirsts for justice, the perfect human being promised to all by you, and make us among his followers and among those who strive for his return and his cause."

The whois registration of his website lists his first name as mahdi http://lvb.net/item/3255

According to Shiites, the 12th imam disappeared as a child in the year 941. When he returns, they believe, he will reign on earth for seven years, before bringing about a final judgment and the end of the world.

Under Iran's constitution, the highest government official and commander-in-chief of the military is the Supreme Leader. The first Supreme Leader was Ayatollah Khomeni. The current Supreme Leader is Ayatollah Sayyid Ali Khamenei. Both the Supreme Leader and President Ahmadinejad have apocalyptic views. They want to bring about the zuhur (appearance) of Imam Mahdi. They want to establish a Shiite Khalifah (empire) from Iran to Lebanon.

Ahmadinejad choose his words well for the speech at the UN on September 19. Instead of naming names he says "some" [individual's] behavior is not worthy of human beings and runs counter to the Truth, to justice and to human dignity.

Ahmadinejad emphasized, The occupiers are incapable of establishing security in Iraq...there are covert and overt efforts to heighten insecurity, magnify and aggravate differences within Iraqi society, and instigate civil strife...It seems that intensification of hostilities and terrorism serves as a pretext for the continued presence of foreign forces in Iraq. Where can the people of Iraq seek refuge, and from whom should the Government of Iraq seek justice?

Next he discusses Palestine and Lebanon. Then he reiterates the statement made in other speeches, "The Islamic Republic of Iran is a member of the IAEA and is committed to the NPT. All our nuclear activities are transparent, peaceful and under the watchful eyes of IAEA inspectors." Maybe he has said that so often that he really believes it. It was over the issue of inspections that the current situation arose. Furthermore, there is an addendum to the NPT that Iran never signed.

Then finally, he names names,

"The question needs to be asked: if the Governments of the United States or the United Kingdom, who are permanent members of the Security Council, commit aggression, occupation and violation of international law, which of the organs of the UN can take them to account?"

Then he ended with the prayer for the mahdi.

Answer 2

Both yes and no!
Bush shouldn't have invaded a country on false information.
He has made us look like bullies doing as we please.At the same time, ahmadinejad, If he gets the nuclear power, is a threat to the innocent people in the U.S.A. Even though bush's decision was on false information, the people should not be held accountable. I don't want another 9/11 ever to happen. It's one thing to attack the people who hurt you but another to attack them and the innocent by standers.

Answer 3

His comments that 'Israel should be wiped off the map' and that the holocaust was a 'myth' makes me wonder - was it a political statement or a personal view.

Several of the US hostages claim to identify him as one of their kidnappers when they were held hostage in 1979 but he and some of the actual kidnappers deny this. (I consider the Jury to be still out on this point).

He has the backing of the Abadgaran, (the Developers) a group of Islamic Revolutionaries in Parliament and has to keep them happy by whatever means.

I feel that whatever his political views, he is sitting on a potential time-bomb and it is unlikely that he will be able to hold back the revolutionaries whatever they decide to do.

Overall, I would rate him as 'dangerous to a large degree'.

Answer 4

he's in all probability asserting what he believes to be the actuality, yet i think of it is particularly no longer likely that there are not any gay people in Iran. gay all of us is everywhere, in each united states of america of the international. it rather is merely that for the time of a few countries it is greater smart to maintain quiet approximately it or you threat imprisonment or worse.

Answer 5

He obviously lied about his Uranium Enrichment, as it is neither transparent or being inspected by the IAEA.

Answer 6

About what? Nothing that has been reported in the news of late, that's for sure. The man is a loose cannon.

Answer 7

I think if you read his latest UN speech, you will have a good feeling yourself about this.
It seems that it needs courage to make this kind of speech in front of the UH delegation.
