Sadly, I doubt Jimmy has a problem with this.
Via The Blaze:
As reported in Commentary, Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khameinei recently delivered a speech on women’s rights, in which he cited none other than former President Jimmy Carter via his new book, “A Call to Action: Women, Religion, Violence, and Power.”
What was the purpose of Khameinei’s invocation of Carter?
After extolling Iran’s women for their achievements, and advocating for a broader discussion on gender, Khameinei used Carter’s book to attack the West when it comes to women’s rights, and argue that Iran should “avoid the Western outlook on the issue of women” altogether.
Calling Carter’s book “a very important writing,” Khameinei quoted the following statement from the 39th president’s “A Call to Action”:
“Every year, 100,000 girls are sold as slaves in America where the owner of a brothel can buy girls – who are usually Latin American or African – at only 1000 dollars”.
Khameinei continued:
“He also refers to the rapes which occur in colleges where only one case out of 25 cases is reported. He goes on to say that only one percent of rapists are put to trial in the army. One cries when one reads such things. We can see many such writings in newspapers. I see such writings as well, but I never base my opinions on them. However, these are realities.
Jimmy Carter is a well-known personality after all and this is his book. What kind of situation is this? What kind of respect – towards women – is this?”
