From the interviews i've read and what i know about Ahmedinejad he's very intelligent... you guys make him sound crazy like Kim Jong II but he's far from that IMO.
He has been repeatedly quoted as saying the holocaust was a myth. He has also said there isn't a single homosexual Iranian, a country of 250 million people. He has said that Israel should be "wiped off the map". He has continually denigrated both christianity and judaism, claiming they are "deviations from the right path, dollars have been devoted to the propagation of these deviations. There are also false claims that these [religions] will save mankind. But Islam is the only religion that [can] save mankind".
I'm sure you can understand why this man is seen as a lunatic in the eyes of many.
