  [quote]One doesn't "achieve" a high profile, one is given it by the media.
  
  No Muslim leader has been given such a national platform to speak against violence. Such gestures aren't even welcome. Twice, when former Iranian president Ahmadinejad was in New York visiting the United Nations, he asked to go the few blocks to the World Trade center to lay a wreath in memory of the 9/11 victims, and was refused. No, he's not a nice guy and I'm not defending his policies or the bizarre-ness of some of his attitudes, but why would wenotlet a powerful Muslim leader make a gesture in rejection of terrorist violence?
  [/quote]I disagree. I think there is sufficient avenues for Muslim to spread the word, and having one persistently preaching in opposition to radicals would be news. All of the cable networks would be booking him. So, I do think it is an achievement-something acquired through persistent effort.
  Ahmadinejad has sponsored terrorism against Americans. He is an enemy according to his own words. Permitting him to visit Ground Zero would be akin to allowing Himmler to lay a wreath at the Holocaust memorial. He didn't want to do it to show respect; he wanted to make news.
