Tehran, 15 April (AKI) - Seven ancient synagogues in the Iranian capital, Tehran, have been destroyed by local authorities.
The synagogues were in the Oudlajan suburb of Tehran, where many Iranian Jews used to live.
"These buildings, which were part of our cultural, artistic and architectural heritage were burnt to the ground," said Ahmad Mohit Tabatabaii, the director of the International Council of Museums’ (ICOM) office in Tehran.
"With the excuse of renovating this ancient quarter, they are erasing a part of our history," said Tabatabaii.
He called for the government to intervene to stop the work commissioned by the local authorities.
A group of residents of Oudjalan have also sent a letter to the mayor of Tehran asking him to suspend the renovation work being carried out in the suburb.

Ahhh, the religion of peace strikes again!
islam never fails to live down to its vicious nature.
....as a collective yawn eminates from the bowels of the UN.
There is a bright side. At least we won’t be blamed for destroying them when we do decide to strike.

No, spoke too soon. We’ll be blamed for that and the sun rising in the East.
I would say “hate crime” but Iran’s entire M.O. is a hate crime.
I hope this gets added to the agenda when Obasma sits down to talk with Achdaminijihad.
I may be awaaaaaaaaay out on a limb here.
And maybe it is only wishful thinking on my part.
But I can’t help feeling that now the ragheads have gone too far, and have messed with God’s Property.
As Rush would say, “Keep a sharp eye” as to whether anything obvious befalls Iran or Imanutjob one of these days.
Orrrrrrrrr, since God is slow to anger, He may just let these ragheads fume and rage until everything comes to a head as prophesied.
In either case, it hurts to see them get away with this stuff with seeming impunity.
Jimmy Carter is on it right now!
NOT!
This made it to the top of the news....not.
If Israel did this to 7 mosques, there would be

LET NO ONE DOUBT THAT THIS WILL NOT COME TO PASS IN THE USA
The Bamiyan Buddhas were destroyed just prior to 9/11.
if israel did this there would be worldwide riots, murders, and countless churches and synagoges would burn to the ground
The surprise here is that they were still standing...thanks for the post.
In Iraq the Chaldean Christians are being attacked and killed.
