'Their (Western) stupidity knows no boundaries,' the hardline cleric said.

You too can be as intelligent as this man, by reading nothing but the koran, every single day.

Tony from Belgium is a disgusting Muslime and not who he claims to be. You should remove all the slimes from your decent countries. If you do not they will subvert your nations and make them slaves to the anti christ pedo prhophet.

To oppose the funny paranoiac ranting here are the facts:the GOP claimed that waterboarding produced useful confessions in the war against Al Quaida .Now Iran uses the same methods and claims to have obtained confessions too .In both cases torture has provided false confessions ,information that is produced because those that are tortured will invent anything to have the torture stopped.Calling it 'enhanced interrogation techniques' is just the Orwellian definition used to obfuscate the truth .
Previous poster does not even see the contradictions in his own ranting ,a honest person will oppose torture in every case,always.It brings down those that use it to the level of barbarians,both in Iran and the BUsh period USA.
None of that is complacent to any religion,just to human rights.
