Ahmadinejad’s recent appearance at Columbia University generated a lot of serious press (watch his speech here), and, quite rightly, journalists and commentators seized on his more outlandish assertions – that the Holocaust is not a historical given, and that homosexuals actually don’t exist in Iran. After all of the serious reporting was done, Saturday Night Live got to work and aired this clip that continued its tradition of biting political satire. Here it goes:

Muslims Against Sharia condemn, in the strongest possible terms, the decision of Columbia University to provide a speaking venue for Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Apparently letting Akbar Rafsanjani speak at the National Cathedral was not the height of American Dhimmitude, because providing a venue for the world’s foremost anti-Semite, whose proclaimed goal is the destruction of the USA and Israel, definitely takes the cake. What is surprising is that we don’t hear any complaints from Columbia alumni who should be ashamed of their silence.
