Quinn Rebukes Columbia on Iranian

Submitted by Richard, Sep 21, 2007 09:40

Under Ahmadinejad's leadership Iran executes homosexuals. That's not NYC values. Columbia's Bollinger can ask any questions he wants…but Ahmadinejad is going to justify his position which includes murdering American troops, homosexuals, Jews, and when he can, Christian Americans. Instead of giving Ahmadinejad a platform for his propaganda of hate, Columbia should honor our service men and women. For a university, Columbia's values are not very intelligent.
