Ahmadinejad

Iranian people are arrested, executed, and public hangings are the norm of the society. Women are bruised in the streets and at home without much rights and legal protection. However the Islamic Republic representatives shamelessly say: "The freest women in the world are women in Iran and our people are the freest people in the world" and "We have no homosexuals in Iran." Perhaps inviting Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to speak at Columbia University is Hamid Dabashi’s greatest contribution to date. The Islamic Republic is on full display in the Western Media and more people get to see the true nature of the regime.
