Mahmoud Ahmadinejad says Christ would have been on our side Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's unexpected Christmas message is full of seasonal goodwill, but the Iranian President clearly believes that if Jesus Christ were alive today he would be on the side of Iran not the West.
In a pre-recorded speech, Mr Ahmadinejad suggests that Christ would have rallied against any global superpower who sees fit to occupy or bully other nations or send troops to expand their power.
“If Christ was on earth today undoubtedly he would stand with the people in opposition to bullying, ill-tempered and expansionist powers,” he said in a message of defiance clearly aimed at the US and its allies.
“If Christ was on earth today undoubtedly he would hoist the banner of justice and love for humanity to oppose warmongers, occupiers, terrorists and bullies the world over.”
“If Christ was on earth today undoubtedly he would fight against the tyrannical policies of prevailing global economic and political systems, as He did in His lifetime.”

Happy Chanuka, Xenia!
Yeah, “Death To Israel” was Christ’s motto I think.
It is up to us to accept him, and not him to accept us. Ahmadinejad has no clue. I will forever ask the Lord for his mercy, his forgiveness and that I not be judged too harshly on the day I stand before him in judgment. Jesus is love and light. Truly, Ahmadinejad has no real understanding of same. In the ugliness and hatred of his religion such understanding is probably not possible I suppose. I can only pray that those who do not accept the Lord as their savior one day open their eyes, hearts and see the love and the light. What a gift God provided the world on Christmas...We turned our back on him and he died, but he still offers to us forgiveness and love. Ahmadinejad has no clue what that means....to him it is up to Jesus to accept us....How arrogant, blind and foolish this man really is.
May the Light of the universe
shalom b'SHEM Yah'shua HaMashiach Adonai
illuminate His Word
in your heart and all of yours.
In his speech he is talking a lot about justice, now would Christ support any state were raped 16 year old woman are hanged on a weekly basis? Is that justice? No, it’s barbarism...
