Entries (RSS)Ahmadinejad Burns
Al Jazeera brings us word of a protest in Teheran which was apparently the largest in two years.
- Iranian students disrupted a speech by Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the Iranian president, at a prestigious Tehran university, setting fire to his picture and heckling him.
He responded by defending their right to burn his image, saying Iran is more free than the U.S.
- “It is my honour to burn for the sake of the nation’s ideals and defend the system,” Ahmadinejad was quoted as telling protesters….
- “Americans must know that even if Ahmadinejad’s body is burnt a thousand times for this purpose, Ahmadinejad will not retreat even a centimetre from these ideals.”
