#1 " 'The Europeans should get used to hearing other opinions, even if they don't like them,' Asefi said."

Ok. Arguing in favor of different 'scholarly opinions', eh? How about the US asserting its 'scholarly opinion' at a UN meeting that the number of Palestinians killed in Israel is exaggerated?

What's that, you say, Medi? Can't breath?

#4 I propose we open a "scholarly debate".
Up for debate: When do you think Iranian civilization will end due to nuclear annihilation?
2006? 2007? 2008? 2009? 2010? 2011...
Discuss.

#5 Tehran says questions about Holocaust part of 'scholarly debate'

All that awaits is some "scholarly debate" over whether Iran is asking or begging to get the sh!t bombed out of them.

#6 I'm waiting for half the middle east to become a glass parking lot. That will REALLY cause some "global warming", but it will also end a lot of other bs.

#7 The late, great Pat Moynihan seems scholarly enough to have handled this:

""We are each entitled to our own opinion, but no one is entitled to his own facts."

#8 These are the same people that scream bloody murder if anything to do with Islam is questioned - I guess scholarly debate is something else? Gimme a break.

#9 Old Patriot - Now now, let's be scholarly about it; would you polish the glass parking lot with vinegar or ammonia??

#11 Oh, dear me, Frank -- you are an engineer. There is just something extra charming about y'all.... I can't quite put my finger on what it is, though... ;-)
