Iran's president defends censorship of >10,000 internet sites that are incompatible with Islam.

take that logic a little farther.
just because the U.S. treats humans as human beings doesn't mean the whole world has to.
BS
why don't you go to Iran and say some anti-islamic spew? then you'd be campaigning for your right to free spech. idiot.
Until the Guardian Council and the Supreme Leader are abolished or replaced with more liberal clerics this will continue to happen. A lot of what Khatami wants to do he can't because of the Council and Supreme leader.

And people want the UN to control the internet. Well if countries that still allow slavery can sit on a human rights committee than Iran could sit on a committee overseeing the internet. great.
ive never know the religious right to want to censor the internet. they are still Americans and they still believe in the right to free speach, even if it is porn and anti religious stuff.
You should be made to write that over and over until you realize how idiotic a statement that was.
p.s. I hope you were kidding when you wrote that. If you were, use a smiley so we all get it, ok?
Hehe, let me try this another way:
Every people and culture has laws and rules of behavior it deems proper for social interaction. Religion and religious rules are the traditional origin of such. This leads, with changing circumstances and outside influence to pressures to change these rules. You get liberal and conservative forces competing to change what is. Now you can take one side or the other in this struggle, but that, in my opinion would be insane. What we should want to do is to change those parts of our rules which are bad and keep the parts that are good. Liberal conservative, censorship, non-censorship are both ridiculous points of view. The essential third way is to understand what is bad and what is good. The Iranians have every right to change what is wrong or no longer applicable in their interpretation of Islamic law and every right and good sense to keep what is good. The point is to know the difference as to what is what.
What I did that got censored is to take a liberal position that was absurd enough to draw attention to this dilemma with the hope it would provoke this kind of analysis. Naturally it had some effect. There is here on Anandtech, I feel, a knee jerk reaction against religious censorship and I tried to show where it could lead. The point was that there are no correct sides in this debate because the crux of the matter lies not in the extremes, but in a higher order balance.
Unfortunately I think it's better to come upon this understanding by wrestling with extremes, rather than to be told like this. But anyway, there you have it, I think.
Now if I can just figure out what is good and what is evil.

ROFL, but I must ask the question, "Is this another Parody site?"
I looked through it some, but couldn't really tell.
