Teheran (dpa) - The government of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad called on Iranians Thursday ``to riot against Zionists (Israel) and unbelievers'' in nationwide demonstrations planned for Friday.
In a statement carried by the ISNA news agency, Ahmadinejad's government said that the demonstrations should be a clear reply to the ``crimes by Israel against the Palestinian nation'' in the last five decades in the ``Moslems' holiest venue'' - Jerusalem.
``The flame of the Intifada (uprising) in Palestine is shining more than ever on the way to liberating residents of the prophets' land (Jerusalem), and has already caused humiliating defeats for the Zionists such as the forceful retreat from the Gaza Strip,'' the statement said.
Since the 1979 Islamic revolution, late spiritual leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini had ordered the annual holding of the Qods (Jerusalem) Day demonstrations in Teheran and all other Iranian provincial capitals on the last Friday of the Ramadan fasting month.
Khomeini had also designated Ramadan as a month of solidarity for the Palestinian nation and against Israel's occupation of Jerusalem, where the Al-Aqsa Mosque is located.
Iranian leaders have since regularly held state-organised demonstrations to show Iran's uncompromising stance against the Israeli state.
This year's demonstrations have been marked by Ahmadinejad's remarks expressing the hope that Khomeini's prediction of Israel's eradication from the Islamic world would come true thRough a ``new wave'' of Palestinian anti-Israeli fighters.
Past time for Iran to 'be gone'. . .
This guy is quickly arranging himself a date with a daisy cutter. ;)
Time to unleash the hogs of war.
Now I think that I know why there was a suicide bombing in Israel. Force the Israelis to retaliate on the day the "mass riot" is called. Inflame the idiots even more!
I like it.
Paging Hogzilla...
So who do we go after first Iran with it's nuke threat or Syria for being behind the assassination of Lebanese Prime minister?
Does this mean Iran regards Zionists as believers? Otherwise he could just have said "to riot against unbelievers".
I was more partial to a beach invasion. Hell the boys would get to the iraqui border by noon anyways!!
So Jerusalem is more Holy to Islam than Mecca?? Did I read that statement correctly?
You can't expect raving nutters to be consistent.
I think we oughta drop Jimmah Cahtuh on 'em.
I'm feeling magnanimous, let's give that wicked old Communist loser a parachute.
how bout spam?
I would suggest that it commence with air bursts of pork rinds over Tehran..
(they have a rather slow flame-front, but fry their victims to a nice golden brown)
Allahu fubar!
