Tehran, 27 Oct. (AKI) - In a gesture of support for Iran's president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the Islamic Revolutionary guards on Thursday joined his recent and controversial call for Israel to be "wiped off the map". "If this cancer (Israel) is not removed from the Islamic world, Muslims will sustain immense harm," said their spokesman, Seyyed Massoud Jazayeri. Ahmadinejad made his remarks at a Palestinian solidarity conference in Tehran on Wednesday, provoking angry condemnation from Western nations.
"This wound was opened more than half a century ago and has still not been healed, because in the Islamic world, some leaders and regimes, which have not been democratically elected by their own people, continue to rule, with the help of Western imperialism," Jazayeri continued.
"A world without Zionism, and the obliteration of Israel from the face of the earth, is not only the objective of Iran, but of the whole Muslim world," he added, pointing out that these goals had been underlined by the country's revolutionary leader, Ayatollah Khomeini, more than 20 years ago.
"At the time, many thought they were just propaganda slogans, but by reiterating them now, president Ahmadinejad has reminded us that they involve a strategy shared by most of the Islamic world," Jazayeri noted.
Iran's foreign minister, Manouchehr Mottaki has sent a circular to the country's diplomats - many of who have beeen summoned by the Western nations to provide explanation for Ahmadinejad's comments - to "go on the offensive".
"You should present yourselves to the authorities in the countries where you live, to strongly protest against the indifference shown by Western nations to the suffering of the Palestinian people and urge Europe's condemnation of Israel," the circular read.
It is the Persians who will perish in such a contest.
Can it be any plainer, folks?
Religion of peace my arse BUMP!!
These pukes have got to go. Spin them up and make some glass.
I sense a great deal of immense harm coming soon to Iran's nuclear program and military courtesy of the IDF.
I think Persia should be destroyed.
Most Persians are good people.
The Mullahs are today's Nazis. They must be eradicated.
Not Persia, the current government of that country should be removed and destroyed.
That's right, and I long for the day in which the glory of their culture is restored.
Thank you Jimmy Carter.

For those who think this is something new. And no, the world didn't care before, and when it comes to action won't care now. In other commentary, President Rafsanjani indicated 50,000,000 Muslim dead would be an acceptable price to pay.
If a day comes when the world of Islam is duly equipped with the arms Israel has in possession, the strategy of colonialism would face a stalemate because application of an atomic bomb would not leave any thing in Israel but the same thing would just produce damages in the Muslim world...Jews shall expect to be once again scattered and wandering around the globe the day when this appendix is extracted from the region and the Muslim world

The Revolutionary Guard is totally a creature of the Iranian regime, so this should come as no surprise. The Iranian equivalent of the SS.

ONLY if they continue the ongoing harrassment
whats wrong with this picture are these guys nuts or what???
Persians are Muslims (mostly), they are not Arabs, however.
We could hope for a vast Zoroastrian insurgency.
