President Ahmadinejad spoke at Columbia University.
After his talk he was asked questions on behalf of the students and faculty.
1. Do you or your government seek the destruction of the state of Israel as a Jewish state?
2. Why is your government providing aid to terrorists? Will you stop doing so and permit international monitoring to certify that you have stopped?
3. Mr. President, a further set of questions challenged your view of the Holocaust. Since the evidence that this occurred in Europe in the 1940s, as a result of the actions of the German Nazi government, since that -- those facts -- are well
documented, why are you calling for additional research? There seems to be no purpose in doing so, other than to question whether the Holocaust actually occurred as a historical fact.
Can you explain why you believe more research is needed into the facts of what are -- what is -- what are incontrovertible?
4. Iranian women are now denied basic human rights and your government has imposed draconian punishments, including execution on Iranian citizens who are homosexuals. Why are you doing those things?
5. What did you hope to accomplish by speaking at Columbia today?
6. The second is, what would you have said if you were permitted to visit the site of the September 11th tragedy?
7. Why is your government seeking to acquire enriched uranium suitable for nuclear weapons? Will you stop doing so?
8. Is Iran prepared to open broad discussions with the government of the United States?
9. What would Iran hope to achieve in such discussions?
10. How do you see, in the future, a resolution of the points of conflict between the government of the United States and the government of Iran?
The answers or non-answers as the case may be to the questions.
Students can indeed ask questions in a civilized manner and wait for a response.
One wonders why it didn't happen when John Kerry spoke?

Muslims Against Sharia condemn, in the strongest possible terms, the decision of Columbia University to provide a speaking venue for Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Apparently letting Akbar Rafsanjani speak at the National Cathedral was not the height of American Dhimmitude, because providing a venue for the world's foremost anti-Semite, whose proclaimed goal is the destruction of the USA and Israel, definitely takes the cake. What is surprising is that we don't hear any complaints from Columbia alumni who should be ashamed of their silence.
