Iran wants you to be tolerant of its intolerance
This is... ehh..... ohh, what the hell, just read: Iran dismissed international criticism of anti-Israeli remarks by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, urging the West on Sunday to show greater tolerance for differing points of view. Last week, Ahmadinejad called the Holocaust a "myth" and said if Europeans insist it did occur, then they should give some of their own land for a Jewish state, rather than the one in the Middle East. The comments came just two months after the hard-line president called for Israel to be "wiped off the map." The remarks sparked outrage in Israel and the United States, and European leaders warned Saturday they would consider sanctions. Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Hamid Reza Asefi said Sunday the international reaction was overblown. "The West had a very emotional attitude about Ahmadinejad's comments. Westerners have to learn to tolerate other's opinion," Asefi said at a news conference. LOL Nope, wait, it gets better.This Foreign Minister guy is really good at this: He dismissed the European sanctions threat as "baseless and illogical" and said Ahmadinejad was simply articulating Iran's position toward Israel. Oh Boy! Mr FM, I have one question for you : You sure you are not high or something? No? Ok. No, didn't meant nothing by it. It's just a thing I ask people. Nevermind me. So, what you are saying is that Iran's official position toward Israel is a one where they deny the holocaust ever happend and want the country wiped off the map? Is that what you are saying? That's your diplomatic calrification that is supposed to calm down criticisms and concerns? Wow guy, you are doing a heck of a job. Keep it up!

Europe doesn't need a Jewish state because European countries accept Jews as human beings and citizens with full rights.
If the same was true for the Arab world, there might not be a need for a Jewish state (or a Kurdish autonomous province in Iraq for that matter).
"Ahmadinejad was simply articulating Iran's position toward Israel."
Yes, that's right. He was.
I find it rather worrying that Europe and the world are upset with Iran for articulating their position but not with Iran for having that position.
It's not like anything has changed in the world.
I wonder how tolerant Iran would be if you told them their religion was a "myth" and the koran should be wiped from the earth?
Blasfomy anyone? Whats the penalty for that again?

So the world needs to listen to their viewpoint, right?
Well, I think a lot of people were listening when they said:
Iran: We would win Nuke War !
I am sure they heard it loud and clear.

Talk about Iran's intolerance, this is going to piss off a lot of people.
What is that saying about straws and camel's backs?
How many straws does it take?
