The ‘Today’s Zaman’ article provides no original text.

The link to iribnews.ir in the Natgional Review column does not resolve.

Perhaps Burhans can provide the original text of Ahmadinejad’s speech. Then, competent speakers of Farsi can judge the accuracy of the translation for themselves.

Or perhaps he will simply continue to lie. As he prefers to take the easy way out in his “discussions”, the latter is far more likely.

“As the Imam says; Israel should be wiped off the map,”

“Perhaps one can quibble over how to render a translation. Here, the Islamic Republic provides its own clarification. In its official translations, it headlined Ahmadinejad’s call to “wipe Israel off the map.”“

Seems close enough to me…but why quibble…No doubt you’ll just accuse me of hiding behind a dictionary again, or perhaps, you will complain that I am forcing you to click on links rather than providing the original Persian text with annotated translations myself…

And of course, you still haven’t addressed why you think Jarrell’s comments are somehow more odious than the rhetoric of the Iranians, Palestinians, Indonesians, et. al….

I do find it interesting that he finds it more relevant to point to Kit Jarrell’s post rather than Ahmadinejad’s statements about wiping the Jews off the face of the Earth.

I can’t quote a statement that Ahmadinejad never made.

Jeff “Orion” Burhans, like most wingnuts, is incapable of making an argument that does not depend upon a lie. One can only wonder if he will lie to his fellow soldiers when he is deployed to Iraq.

I do find it interesting that he finds it more relevant to point to Kit Jarrell’s post rather than Ahmadinejad’s statements about wiping the Jews off the face of the Earth. Or those made by innumerable other leading Arabs, Persians, et. al…

But you need to focus on which ones are actually TRYING to wipe out an entire people, I suppose, not those who are just using rhetoric.

Won’t get it when you have headlines such as “Gribbit’s back! And he’s lying his ass off!” And calling people names

Yep, your a true leader in the civility department, and you show us every day just how civilized you are

Wonder why your a joke?
