What do you know about the president of iran, Mahmood Ahmadinejad?

...it's simply not true. We've covered this before.


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahmoud_Ahmadinejad_and_Israel

There's no question what he meant, what he said, and here's AGS defending a call for Jewish genocide, yet again. What a shame. Don't like those Jews, huh?

Ironically, these guys were hung in iran for being gay:



and basically doing the same thing ahmadinejad is doing here:

 

^ childish post) You should've used some photoshop mate

Seriously, why do you give a damn what happens in there? Answer me that question, but please dont say I want democracy in Iran sitting in Texas

Reveal whats happening in guantanamo, the most democratic US base in the world

 

Not saying he is the perfect man but he is not as bad as some make out.

He has actually done a lot for helping women in Iran - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahmoud_Ahmadinejad#Women.27s_rights_and_hijab

 

Not saying he is the perfect man but he is not as bad as some make out.

He has actually done a lot for helping Germans have cheap and efficient cars as means of transportation, as well as killing 6 millions Jews in the process, in those years. - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Holocaust

 

I agree. Hanging people for the crime of being gay is very childish. I suspect, because of who is doing it, you don't mind though. Your outrage seems to be over a picture of ahamdinejad being caught in a precarious moment.

 

Why are you making up stories (again!)??? He (Ahmadinejad) had nothing to do with the holocaust. Additionally, the largest death in WW2 was of the Russian people (over 20 million) so stop looking for sympathy.

 

You have already proven to everyone here that you are pro-terrorism, and now you go on and defend your beloved leader Adolf Hitler ?
Stop. Stop right there man.

 

Dude, I am talking about Ahmadinejad (he had nothing to do with the holocaust) or are you suggesting he did?

No, I am not pro-terrorist. What I am is anti-war, whereas you seem to promote war and killing on anyone that disagrees with you i.e. a Muslim.

 

Who cares, why you are the one who should fix this? Everyone has different rules, unless you plan to visit Iran and you are gay ?

 

Ahmadinejad and Mel Gibson have a lot in common. They both think the Holocaust was faked.

I wouldn't vote for either of them to be world leader.

 

In reading about him, I did come upon that article. First it says,
"A state television announcer reported that Ahmadinejad "ordered the head of the sports organization to provide facilities in the stadiums to watch national matches." Ahmadinejad was quoted as saying: "The best stands should be allocated to women and families in the stadiums in which national and important matches are being held." Two days earlier, Ahmadinejad had objected to punishment of women appearing in stadiums without proper hijab."

Then he retracted that ruling and it says, "A Shi'ite news agency quoted one of Ahmadinejad's advisors saying that the President's statement about the attendance of women in stadium was a political measure to defend the government against a US-led conspiracy. According to these reports, Ahmadinejad's government believed that the attendance of women in stadiums was against Sharia and therefore had to be banned, contrary to the earlier letter."

So, really that article is not demonstrating that he did something for women. On the contrary I read:
"Ahmadinejad's government is now drafting a law to limit women students to half the places in college, instead of the 65 percent they now occupy. It is also restricting women's entry to medical schools." source

And...
Tehran, (The Associated Press) Iranian police shoved and kicked them, loaded them into a curtained minibus and drove them away. Hours later, at the gates of Evin prison, they were blindfolded and forced to wear all-enveloping chadors, and then were interrogated through the night. All 31 were women - activists accused of receiving foreign funds to stir up dissent in Iran.

But their real crime, says Mahboubeh Abbasgholizadeh, was gathering peacefully outside Tehran's Revolutionary Court in support of five fellow activists on trial for demanding changes in laws that discriminate against women. source

I cannot say that I have found too many things I admire in him. But one thing I do like about him is that he grew up in a family without a lot of money, and seems to have a sincere desire to help the poor. After doing a few days of research I am realizing he is very complicated and it may be too difficult to simply write a general article about him. I have changed course and plan on writing many articles about him covering specific ideas. Thanks everyone for all your help
