Ahmadinejad’s Inferior Worldview

September 23, 2007 · Mustapha Hamoui

Ahmadinejad wants to teach Americans about the world. What’s Persian for “chutzpah”?

Repeat after me: America is the great Satan.

The Iranian President clearly seems to believe that Americans need to learn “correct and clear” information about the world. This is why he decided to make use of his appearance in the USA to grace Americans with his wisdom. 

As he lectures the students of Columbia University on right and wrong, he will probably fail to see the irony. 

He will conveniently forget that by allowing him to speak, the American system is proving to be intrinsically superior than his own, in which women and the elderly get rounded up for the sheer suspicion of any foreign connection.

Would Mr. Ahmadinejad allow an American president to Lecture in an Iranian University?

The students who are going to listen to Mr. Ahmadinejad speak are not planning to listen to a luminary. They are simply going to challenge and heckle a buffoon.
