The visit of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to Columbia University on Monday, where he will give a lecture, has created protests from a wide variety of directions.
President Ahmadinejad is well known for speaking his mind, but then so is George Bush, who labels any leader who criticizes the US as a “tyrant”. The media have not helped Ahmadinejad's image with statements like the “Holocaust-denying Iranian President”, or printing comments from protestors who describe him as a “murderous dictator”.
It never fails to amaze me how people's rights and freedom of speech seem to have a different meaning depending on whether you follow the Bush administrations book of “justice” or not.
Columbia University have said that only students will be allowed on campus Monday, for security reasons. Rabbi Avi Weiss, head of the Coalition of Jewish Concerns, responded by saying "It's a perversion of free speech,". Surely, trying to stop Ahmadinejad from speaking is the same thing, isn't it?
Unfortunately, what those who claim to support free speech really mean is, people can only talk about things that agree with their beliefs. The Iranian President has, in the past, revealed some doubt about the Holocaust and the numbers involved. He is of course expressing his opinion and has requested more proof to back up the claims, which is his choice. If his doubts are answered with the proof he seeks, there is no further reason for him to make any “denial”, is there?
