Now he is attacking scientists for helping develop chemical and nuclear weapons. Ok, fair enough…

He has started to complain that “big powers” are preventing other nations “from developing and advancing” in the sciences, presumably a reference to the Iranian nuclear ambitions currently thwarted forcefully by, among others, Sarkozy.

“If humanity achieves the highest level of physical and spiritual knowledge, but its scientists are not pure…”

I’m beginning to see where he is going with all of this. He is probably about to attack Israeli scholars and American secularists.

Indeed. Karl Rove seems to have managed to inspire Ahmadinejad as he makes no political statements, liberally apply and mangle religious statements and make outright lies that put our own hypocrites to shame… encouraging to see though that while the Bush administration has indeed succeeded in exporting a part of the American political spectre…

… Starting to be a ripple of wonder about if this man knows what he’s talking about or is just going to read from the Qu’ran…. “The almighty taught human beings what they were ignorant of” Too bad they forgot to educate the man spouting the quote…

Ahmadinejad is trying to compare science to “a conversation between the Almighty and his Angels.” That might be a bit of a stretch, but I guess this guy can’t go too long without pouring pseudo-religious nonsense all over his speech.

This has turned into a bad scripture lesson dotted with references to the sciences. He just flew through the Hebrew Bible, the Greek scriptures, and the Qur’an in about six minutes. If we wanted a convoluted attempt to turn science into religion, we’d turn to one of our own conservative politicians. Still no political statements…
