Ahmadi Najad Proven Wrong
One of the most famous and most ridiculous statements done by the Iranian president Ahmadi Najad during his visit to the USA was him saying: "In Iran we don’t have homosexuals like in your country"
I found this graffiti on one of the back streets of Shiraz-Iran during my trip there in December.
the writing says: "Ameen (heart) Farid" keep in mind that Ameen and Farid are both men's names.

lol that is an amazing catch !!!
the correct quote would be "In Iran we don’t have homosexuals like in your country" which like many of his comments is quite controversial haha -

Pretty bold! Isn't the reason he was (wrongly) claiming that because they are often executed? I was thinking ... OK, the guy is subtly bragging about his people being killed???
