From the WTF Files - Iran ready to host 'human rights' conference
2006-01-02
LONDON - Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said that the Iranian government is ready to host a conference on 'human rights' between the Islamic and European thinkers, accoding to IRNA.
Hey, if Lybia can chair the UN's Human Rights Commission anything's possible, right?
Asked about dialogue on human rights between Iran and the European Union, he said that Iran is ready to organize a conference on 'human rights' between thinkers from Muslim nations and European states in presence of Western media networks to be broadcast without censorship.
"Thinkers from Muslim Nations", I need to add that to my list of all-time classic oxymorons.
The president said that human rights is a sacred value which should not be abused for propaganda campaign or political objectives.
A "sacred value", unless you're Jewish of course, then all bets are off.
He said that Iran seeks dialogue on human rights not only with certain states which are misusing the topic for propaganda purposes, IRNA added. "Iran advocates dialogue on human rights with international community to be pursued in its true sense and on equal footing." He made a proposal according to which Iran would send representatives to European states to study freedom of expression, prisons conditions and women or children there and in return, the European states will be able to send delegation to Iran to study human rights situation in the country. So, the report of the European delegation about human rights in Iran and that of the Iranian delegation to Europe would be published for the public opinion without any censorship.

Responding to a question about the hue and cry the Europeans embarked in reaction to his statement about revenge for the holocaust perpetrated by German army, he said that intensity of their reaction indicated that there is something wrong with it, IRNA stated. He said that Iran makes a distinction between Judaism and Zionism and believes that Zionism has been created to take revenge from Muslims for the mass killing of Jews by German Army.
Well, there was that Uncle of Arafat's who was so cozy with Hitler, but it's pretty clear from all the Nazis they hunted down that Israel is able to distinguish who was actually running the death camps.
Ahmadinejad said that the question is why the Europeans are afraid of holding a debate on the human tragedy and consider it a red line.
Debating well established fact runs contrary to a lot of people's thinking regardless of what Islamic wingnuts might consider to be proper.
"Why don't the Europeans who perpetrated the crime pay the price themselves?" Iranian president asked. He said that human rights of every individual should be honored irrespective of religion.
All except them pesky Jews.
President Ahmadinejad said that when he saw the angry reaction of the Europeans to his statement about the holocaust, he asked himself whether the needle had struck their sensitive nerve.
Mayber they're just wondering how you get your toothbrush past that curly toed slipper.
Iranian president said that the Europeans have expelled Jews from Europe and deported them to occupied Palestine, this practice is in itself actually anti-Semitic. "In fact the Europeans have practiced ethnic cleansing against the Jews in Europe by expelling the Jews from all the European states.
As I recall, they gave that up a while back.
"They have shot two targets with a single bullet: They have built a Jewish camp among the Islamic nations and got rid of the Jews from the whole of Europe. The 'Zionist' regime is a part of Europe, which was broken away from Europe, and is anti-Islamic in nature," President Ahmadinejad said.
Won't someone please cap this monster raving loon.
