Am I the only person who sees a problem in this country when the leader of one of the most despicable regimes on earth is invited to be a guest speaker at a prestigious Ivy League School, while a true patriot and defender of the American way of life is told he cannot?

Such is the case at Columbia University, who this week extended an invitation to Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, a mere 24 hours after telling Jim Gilchrist, the founder of The Minuteman Project, that he is persona-non-grata…

For those unfamiliar with the recent history between Mr. Gilchrist & Columbia… Last year Mr. Gilchrist was assailed by an unruly mob of student activists as he tried to deliver a speech on the Columbia campus… The activists became so unruly that Mr. Gilchrist had to scrap the speech and flee the stage…

Columbia officials, first tepidly supported the students under the guise of free speech, then issued an apology to Mr. Gilchrist and invited him back to try again…  That invitation was rescinded earlier this week, & in his place Columbia invited the Iranian President…

Some questions for the board of regents at Columbia…

Has Mr. Gilchrist--- hung any 16 year old girls for committing an immoral act? 

Threatened to wipe any other country off the face of the earth recently?

Been involved in the deaths of thousands of people all over the world? 

Been implicated in the 9/11 attacks? (Read the 9/11 Report & or Chapter 1 of Kenneth Timmerman’s “Countdown to Crisis”)

Ever harbored any Al-Qa’ida figures?

Aided the insurgency in Iraq?

Kidnapped Ex-Patriots living in the West and held them on trumped charges of espionage?

Killed any Journalists? (Isn’t Columbia home to one of the premier Journalism schools in the world?)

Stoned any Adulterers?

Sought to impose clothing restrictions based on religion?

Thrown Students from the roofs of their dormitories?

Sought to forcibly impose his religious beliefs on the unbelieving?

The answer to all these questions in no… The same cannot be said of Mr. Ahmadinejad, the man you chose to invite as an honored guest to your once venerable institution of higher learning…

In your zest  to “dialogue” with one of the most hate filled, misogynistic, nihilistic regimes in this world, what message are you sending the people who come under the boot heel of this messianic Islamic Theocracy on a daily basis?

By extending an invitation to Mr. Ahmadinejad,  you give this man an aura of respectability that he does not deserve… He should be explaining his rhetoric and actions in the docket at The Hague, not extolling the virtues of Islamic Theocracy in New York City…

One last question for the Regents…. At long last, have you no shame at all???

Mr. Ahmadinejad will be delivering a speech at the UN Monday Sept. 24th, there is a protest scheduled to coincide with this appearance, I urge anyone capable to go and confront this abhorrent blemish to mankind…

If you want to join me, I will be easy to spot… I’ll be wearing my “Infidel” hoody with pride, under a banner that reads….
 “Infidels United: Cuz freedom matters” leading chants like Islam’s not for me
