Ahmadinejad: Those who walked out were "arrogant and selfish"

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has questioned the advocates of "freedom of speech" about the sincerity of their conviction.

After Israeli advocates staged a walkout in the midst of the Iranian president's speech at the UN anti-racism summit, President Ahmadinejad criticized the "so-called advocates of freedom of information."

"Why is it that the so-called advocates of freedom of information fear hearing other people's opinions," the Iranian president asked.

Speaking at a news conference in Geneva after addressing the United Nations conference on racism, President Ahmadinejad described the countries which boycotted or walked out of the UN anti-racism summit as "arrogant and selfish."

"In our opinion, this is arrogance and selfishness and the root cause of the world's problems," President Ahmadinejad told the Monday press conference.

"The subject of this conference is anti-racism and the advocates of racism did not attend this summit," he added.

The Iranian president's speech at the Durban Review Conference at the UN European headquarters was disrupted several times by protesters who shouted slogans and held placards before they were escorted out of the conference room by security guards.

I have letting the media here in the US talking about the leader of Iran (Nejad) being a monster. For years I assumed he was a terrible man and then I listened to a speech of his on Israel and the US and totally agree with him. I have listened to everything he has said and its refreshing to hear the truth.

Israel HATES the TRUTH, that’s 1 reason Israel wants to wipe out Iran. Soon many will have the courage to stand up to the most racist state in all of history, Israel. Jews HATE ALL GENTILES, They use us and when the Evangelicals figure out Israel is a BIG FAT LIE, Israel and Jewish racism will be over and the world will celebrate! The Jewish mask will fade and Jews will be seen as they truly are, HATER-RACISTS in disguise Using Gentile in evry way possible for their greedy self interests.

@JoannaAngelo101 You appreciated his honesty when he said there are no homosexuals in Iran, or you appreciated his honesty when he sidestepped the issue of Iran's repression of women and it's miserable human rights record? Google Zahrah Kazemi and then show me if you still have the audacity to praise this bastard.
