together with that, it is biased capitalists and their self inflecited paranoia.
to be honest, if at an education institute of such proclaimed merit, the provost can act so ignobly, with a president of another country.
this is very unbecoming of a university’s executive admin, esp one who is being shown the rattle of this country’s might, one can be sure that to gain a positive support a very high expectation.
what is witnessed is that the shock over some other country’s president to be stable than one’s own appears to be almost like saying that there can be no other country or nation or its presidency which can do better than the govt of the mighty country led by its monopolistic and cruel govt. which is condemned by its own actions, time and again in the recent history of its political fiascos.
it will be a sight to see what else this govt. will do to up lift its lowly self.

Out of 56 islamic countries..if any islamic country has a MAN leader ..then he is Amedi Nijaad...
rest all are not men..fond of eating dhaniya...used to wear chooria....and and and...etc etc....
one example is our greatest leader...General Musharraf...the sipah salar-e-azam of ummah..whose pants start wetting on hearing phone calls...which are directed from US...i dont know the reasons....:)
A man who can dare to spaek aganist Israeli evel rather satanic ..is more apropriate word..policies....and US evil policies..no doubt he is a great and brave man...as he is elected leader..rest all are either dictators...or royal puppets...licking US feet...
ato bomb is not made to show it in musuem...our nuclear missile can have a reach of more than 3000 km..means..if from Lahore..it will launch..within 1 minute ..the city of Culcutta will be a heap of dust.....by crossing whole india...
Why does anyone owe him any civility or graciousness? He's a lying, egomaniacal lunatic. He's lucky he got to speak at all. Is he civil when he calls for the destruction of Israel? He spent a good portion of his speech labeling the US as terrorists. Is he gracious when he comes to this country to lay out his maniacal tyrannical view of the world? Is it classy to call the holocasut a myth? Why shouldn't he be called out for what he is and what he preaches?
Bollinger's comments were no more insulting than nutjob's. He's right, he is a petty and cruel dictator. The very idea he tried to lecture the US on wiretapping when that pales in comparison to what his government's civil liberty attrrocities. I am no fan of this adminstration or the civil liberties they are taking away in the name of the 'war on terror', but we don't need lecturing from that little fool.
Ah yes, great noble bollinger defies petty dictator like he should.
In contrast, earlier yesterday President Bollinger introduced the President of Turkmenistan, also an autocrat with a dismal human rights record (see one of the worst ever in central asia), with a tone of cordiality expected in a forum with a head of state. Why the difference between the two?
why then do you think mr bolinger acted the way he did. could it be because..
of the massive media attention present at the second forum inspired Bollinger's belligerence?
in the end, Bollinger cowed to the very political pressure he has claimed all week that he was defending free speech against?
of the fact that Columbia with the help of exxonmobile, was able to invest 3 million in turkmenistan, with the blessing of the current turkmen president.
Plus last year bolinger not only invited but defended hand in hand the stance of the leader of minutemen. A pretty wacky organization with beliefs ranging from shooting people who cross the border illegally to expelling all immigrants with even a parking ticket problem.
It is also curious to note that a talk by a real nut, and a worse dictator did not meet Bollinger's standards of discourse, but somehow it did for ahmedinajad.
i am strict opponet of shiaism ..but not shias..and i think politically we should be one..similarly..al qaeda mads are blowing up innocents civilians from shia sect....
shia sunni divison was just political rivalries of Ummayaads and Hasmies...
Ibne Saba..a jew..used it extensively to divide ummah....
concepts of immat...wilayat..and wisayat were given by him...not Ali(ra) at any stage...
there can be difference on pow ..that whether ali or abu bakr or umar be the first caliph..who is most piousest and greatest....it will not change your imaan at all....but cursing is a bad thing...to anyone...even to shia scholars ..i think..we should not curse anyone....Prophet(pbuh) disliked cursing...momin is not supposed to give too many curse as in hadees...
plus..Zaidi shias are very moderate in aqaid and other things...they dont curse...here on GS ..many of my very good friends..girls..and boys..are shias..but they show respect towarsds 2 caliphs..never curse them....so i have no problem with them at all....
some are more islamic than sinner like me..read more quran...give quranic surahs threads in religion forum...so ..i think..they are far better than me..or any sunni ..who have not such a devoting muslim....
there are many misconception between the 2 sects...by discussuon we can decase them..for example..Shias muslims thought that sunnis dont love ali(ra)..wahabis disrespect him a bit...so i once started a thread about ali(ra)...and his merits and virtues to lessen this false misconception...
