Just another reason why Columbia should NOT have allowed Mahmoud I'm-a-Nut-Job to speak at their school.
That man belongs in an asylum.

EXCERPT FROM ARTICLE (direct quote):
In Iran we don't have homosexuals like in your country. We don't have that like in your country. ... In Iran we do not have this phenomenon. I don't know who's told you that we have this.

They probably dont have the quantity of out homosexuals let alone the parades with assless chaps and drag etc but he is full of BS if he thinks we believe there are none- the ones he and his Islamist friends murder.
What is interesting is this comment got a lot of boos but the Holocaust denial was pretty well recieved- interesting group of students.

those crazy Iranians, if they don't have any homosexuals it's probably because they have gassed them or something. I still can't believe he said that either.
It seems like these liberal ivy league schools, are always give leaders of nations that are most likely trying to harm us a chance to speak, and they give him the benefit of the doubt but yet our own President doesn't get that, how can people honestly say there isn't a liberal bias, with professors as well as the media.

and where were the gay and lesbian protest yesterday? and since homosexuality is preventable should we check into their water source? it has to be in the water.(sarcasm) we can prevent it with irans help.also, where were the womens groups? and why would those "informed" students applaud a person with this in this background?

Iran has homosexuals, but not "like in your (USA) country", and he 's right. Homosexuals do not parade themselves in Iran like they do in the USA. It's no big deal, their culture is more subdued that's all.

He belongs in an asylum simply 'cos he says no homos in his land? See the problem?
U have no patience with those who disgree with u or whose stand is not in tandem with yr terms of reference. You see other lands in yr own image & any variance is a crime.
Yr land is infested with homos so u find it ridiculous to even fathom a land without homos. It's normal in yr land and so any land where it's not normal is 2 u a land of nuts.
IHomosexuality is a human rights issue in yr. land & so the President of any land where it's an abomination belongs in an asylum.
Everyone must accept yr. way of life.
See the root of all the problems?

Many Christian leaders in make the same claim in America. Shouldn't they face the same ridicule. He doesn't mean there are no homosexuals in Iran. He (and those Christian leaders he's aligned with) don't consider gays people.

I don't agree with the lifestyle of homosexuality too much but I wouldn't consider it a phenomenon. Mock-mood Twatmuhdennablob is psychotic anyway.

Okay, I must to admit I thought it was sort of funny that he even said it. Talk about completely oblivious, sometimes better to be silent and thought a fool than speak and prove it. Was not surprised by applause and "standing" ovations. Dictators and lefties do have alot in common.

Chad is right... I've seen videos of people that are, or have been accused of being, homosexual in Iran, being hanged for the "crime."
Nice, huh?

It depends on whether the US military classes itself as a country or not.
