-- it is Iran's president as you may know took center stage.

Yet again on the holiest Jewish holiday and delivered a hate filled speech before the UN general assembly is it best to ignore his comments.

Should he even be given the opportunity to speak there.

-- -- Fox News religion to Father Jonathan Morris thought an -- spanky a lot of hate -- stuff -- I mean from mean.

The list is long we don't need died in every bit of it but.

How are we supposed to respond when here in the United States we practice -- practice freedom.

Of religion we invite this guy to come here he's speaking here in middle of Manhattan how are we to respondent who is being intolerant here -- Freedom of religion -- also freedom of speech but there's a difference between allowing someone to speak freely and to give their opinion and other things to incite violence.

-- -- to get ready understands that.

Just because I have the gift of free speech and freedom the United States -- can't go into a crowded theater classic example and say fire.

Right because I'm inciting.

That's a dangerous situation right what -- seen here with president Ahmadinejad.

Is insightful.

Hate filled speech.

Right it's not just a question -- opinion and what such a contrast I think which was shocking is that the United Nations was.

Founded.

In 1946 precisely to make sure that we would never fall into mutual destruction again after.

After world war two and -- we have a platform being given to somebody who was called for the destruction of -- of Israel.

So racist and not give him -- just -- well first -- and we should be speaking up like this and I think the UN has to to to examine itself.

Very seriously incident say is this what the United Nations is all about let me read.

What my favorite documents of all -- -- called the universal declaration.

Of human rights which was created in 1948.

Two years after the establishment of the of the UN.

And in this universal declaration of human rights trying to post -- my FaceBook and Twitter right afterwards.

We read some just basic things that all nations came to agree upon listen to article one very short.

All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights.

They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act toward one another in a spirit of brotherhood.

He's violating that would not -- you think anti Semitic.

Hate filled spewing and and -- -- not hearing from many countries and especially in the Arab world.

That this is wrong.

That there is a universal.

Understanding.

Of respect and brotherhood that is -- foundation of the United Nations now what we're seeing here on.

Played out at the United Nations is anti United Nations.

I think the world is -- -- and fortunately have everything -- -- -- -- It is he's of course -- have been dismissed and -- -- but you know what.

He's not just a -- He has the ability to incite violence and -- called for the destruction of Israel and he is not afraid I don't think from his.

Strange.

A distorted theological position to go down constant in in with.

-- to -- achieve his objective.

Other times more discussion should be us knows it's I'm sorry it was so serious usually have like a -- -- you know that's totally filled a little more to -- -- -- excellent -- -- -- have a -- -- package that would -- did talk that.
