Howard Dean (Adelle Nazarian / Breitbart News)

PARIS — Former Vermont Governor Howard Dean told Breitbart News that “Iran is the farthest thing from an Islamic Republic” and that Iran is not “a Muslim country.”

Instead, Dean said, Iran is “a republic that’s been hijacked by thugs and murderers.” He explained that he does not know Muslims whom he respects and who behave the way the regime does.

Dean was speaking exclusively to Breitbart News from Paris last month during a conference hosted by the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI). The PMOI (also referred to as MEK) is an opposition movement that played an active role in overthrowing Iran’s last Shah while President Jimmy Carter was in power, and which was de-listed as a terrorist organization under Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

During the interview, Dean also pointed out his belief that the term “radical Islamic terrorism” is a manufactured phrase “for political, domestic consumption in America.”

The transcript of the interview follows (emphasis added):

His opinion is irrelevant. I don't consider the New York Giants to be a New York team. But they still call themselves the New York Giants.
And Iran calls itself an Islamic State. I figure they should know.

Whoa, just a minute.  Isn't it obvious liberals/democrats/progressives know more about islam than imams and ayatollahs? :silly:

Just think of the recent democrats who wanted to be, and were in the running for the nomination:  Lurch, Howlin' Howie, St. Algore, John the Ethicist (Edwards), madam Clinton once again.  What a rogue's gallery of losers.

I don't consider anything Screaming Dean says to be newsworthy.

Dr. Dean, please try on Fishrrman's credo for size:
Reality is what it is. It is not what we believe it to be.

How's that fit?

Had the exact same thought.  Liberals have an amazing way of denying anything that does not fit their worldview. 

I am most amused by the gyrations they go through to deny an Islamic terrorists, who is muslim, radical, said he/she was doing something for ISIS, ISIS says he/she is their soldier, screams "Allah FUBAR" while randomly killing people, is not a muslim terrorist.

He's insulting Iran by telling the Mullah's that they aren't Muslims, but apostates who call themselves Muslim but are not.

Sort of like someone going up to a priest and saying, "You aren't Christian!"

He's just a straight jacket and a course of shock treatments short of Trump in that department.
