Iran FM: Zionists behind U.S. church's plan to burn Koran

I, being a Christian, certainly do not support burning Korans, and I don't know anybody who does. I would rather that countries like Iran stopped persecuting Christians. The comments coming from Ahmadinejad and his men are completely mad. He is only saying that Israel and Zionists are behind this because he wants Muslims to be at war with them. Iran doesn't want peace, it wants Muslims to hate non-Muslims. Iran is condemning burning a Koran while it is currently imprisoning, beating, and murdering Christians, causing thousands to flee from the country.

and the Gas explosion in San Francisco Zionists is just a new word for Jews up until the Holocaust the Jews were blamed for everything in the world, now that they forced the Jews to go to Israel they are still blaming them for everything but just calling them Zionists

marshmello's anyone?

Israel, just as other countries are, is AGAINST Koran burning. If these Islamists have an accident, they probably blame the "Zionists". What Americans are against is a 9/11 victory mosque Americans are fully aware that every Muslim terrorist on earth wants a 9/11 victory mosque honoring Islam at sacred Ground Zero where our cherished 3,000 were murdered without mercy by the followers of Islam. We will never forget our beloved 3,000 - victims of global jihad along with all of the other victims in Beslan, London, Philippines, Thailand, Israel, Sudan... an endless list. Americans refuse to give the terrorists the satisfaction and victory of a mosque honoring Islam at Ground Zero. We will NOT dishonor our 3,000 brothers and sisters. We will not dishonor our great nation with a victory mosque at sacred Ground Zero.

The goal of Mohammed is to take over the world. Hey, the muslims can have this world! as a Christian am looking forward to the the everlasting life our loving and accessable God ( something Allah is not) has to offer to all who believe in him!

How would these same people react if this crazy pastor had decided to burn siddurim, for example. Why can't people simply oppose an objectionable practice reagrdless of their political views.

A Zionist agent called "Iceberg" did it.

He said Zionist not Jews. There is a big difference there!

The Zionists were also behind the 2001 dynamiting of the 2000 year old Buddha statues of Bamiyan in Afghanistan and the destruction of almost everything in the National Museum in Kabul that stemmed from the country's Buddhist days because the Koran said it was non-Islamic. For this act alone, their stupid Torah should be burned.

Just want to congratulate , DOV ZAKHEIM, RICHARD PEARLE, MICHAEL CHERTOFF, LARRY SILVERSTIEN, DONALD RUMSFELD, DICK CHENEY , DOUGLAS FEITH, PHILIP ZELIKOW on the great job that was carried out on 911. I have to say a brilliant job only could be done by one group of people. Precision and control of certain media was the icing on the cake that day. Bravo, Bravo for giving us the 911 atrocities and wars that followed, bravo for nearly on million deaths in Iraq, Bravo for all the memories. Thank you Israel for the greatest show on earth. You will always have a place in my darkened heart.

The Iranians must be correct. The Israelis are responsible for the earthquake in New Zealand, the floods in Pakistan, Wayne Rooney's problems with Coleen. Is there anything more they can do ?

the FM of Iran read the 1st Amendment to the U.S. constitution. It forbids the government to use its secular powers to take any action with regard to a religious establishment. That is how we guarantee the basic rights of American citizens, Muslims included. Public opinion will deal with Pastor Jones. That is sufficient! Religion and politics do not mix; and ordained politicians are a failure from day one.

Yesterday, the Dove World Outreach Center in Gainseville, Florida had 30 members. Today it has 50. Looks like Pastor Jones is earning his pay for this year.

When radicals destoy two NY skyscapers, a wing of the Pentagon, and attempt to do even more destruction in one day, it doesn't take action from President Bush to incite Islamophobia! So cool it! We will control our paranoid idiots; you control yours!

Iranian 'copy and paste' news or different day same....

Mottaki's burning in hell

Why is this still on the website?? Are you using it for Drama effect ? why give Ahmadinjacket importance and prominence? is it important what he says about anything? REMOVE THIS STUPID POST NO NEED FOR HAARETZ TO BASH ZIONISM SHAME ON Y OU QUOTING A ANTI SEMITE

You have yours in Iran, and the Israelis have theirs - everybody does.

He can't be serious when his regime says things all the time that constantly suggest Muslims are in a war against non-Muslims for religious reasons. Would anyone not be 'Islamaphobic' if they were to take Ahmadenijad's words seriously? If you call for someone else's destruction, would you really be surprised that those people would have issues with you? Seriously...

Check who leads the actual campaign against the cultural Islamic center and you'll find one Pamella Geller.All Israeli propagandist spear anti Islamist propaganda to justify Israel role in defending the Western civilization..Tzipi Livni said it many times but the work was done by David Brooks,Charles Krauthammer,David Horowitz,Bill Kristol,all the neocons.This is so blatantly that to deny is ridicule.Antiislamism is the tool for every talk backist and when they are told about it than ,of course,the answer is that it is an old antisemitic label.

These religious fanatics are vicious, ignorant and full of hatred for others, whether they're Jewish, Christian or Muslim. I blame Father Abraham. He started all this. Being willing to sacrifice your kid for your God is not a normal or human emotion. Bad way to start 3 religions. Real bad. A garden variety skeptical sinner wouldn't do anything so ugly to his own child, but a True Believer would.

So where are the Israel bashers who constantly defend the Iranian leaders?

It´s soooo cool to be a Zionist. We make the weather as well.

I was told by my Arab friends that they only worship Allah. So why do the Shi'a Islamist of Iran allow their PM to consult a goddess?

It sure seems that way. Iran has many intelligent people yet it's leaders continuously show their mental challenges with ridiculous accusations. In the US people such as this pastor can do whatever they please and believe it or not, the Zionists in the beautiful state of Israel can't control everything or maybe they can, after all they are the "chosen ones", right?

give the palestinians a state then then the whole of the Muslim world warm to Israel. Like or not but this is the reality. Israel is hurting its self by not doing so.

mottacki needs to lay off crack pipe.he sounds like the brain dead jerk i thought him to be! by the way i bought a few qurans today....on saturday me and a group of folks will immolate them...cant wait!

"we have vanquished the american infidels" wow, how can they be so unsophisticated?

i think it's more appropiate not to give those blood-thirsty islamic vagabonds an excuse to kill innocent people in the name of their religion.i wish the Pastor restrain his people

"the national movement for the return of the Jewish people to their homeland and the resumption of Jewish sovereignty in the Land of Israel...then Terry Jones is a Zionist... a fundamentalist Christian variant maybe...but he is for certain...a Zionist.

Osama bin Laden nine years ago degraded your religion beyond anything the Jews could ever do with their software.

I intend to buy a Quran later today and burn it, so what?? It'll cost me $30 to enjoy the show

A Zionist named Iceberg was the culprit ! Shame on Mottaki, Ahmadinejad, Nasrallah & Co. Even Fidel Castro knows better what a bunch anti-Semitic idiots you are.

Wake up, world. Geert Wilders is right on the mark that totalitarianism and fascism are built in facets of Islamic dogma. From executions for converting to another religion or leaving Islam, to the sanctioning of "clerics" to call for the execution of individuals (usually us Infidels) who are considered "a threat to Islam," Islam is unique in its use of intimidation, threats of death and violence to achieve its objectives to silence critics and advance Islam regardless of the means. I marvel how the huge numbers of previously naive Westerners who a year ago even would pathetically equate Islam as being a religion just as Buddhism is. Now, they are becoming aware of the socio-political dogma and agenda. That give me hope that eventually there will be pressure from the West on Islam to reform itself, to haul in rabid clerics who spew hatred and foment terror attacks. Had Islam arrived just a month ago, it would be understood to be a violent and totalitarian ideology coupled with its religious overlay. As people learn more, they will understand that Islam has at least two faces--and that one of them is lethal.

Terry Jones has just announced he will not burn any Koran copies Saturday.

This joker is Awarded Six of a possible Five Shovels. That is shovels for slinging the bull. The amusing thing is that Terry Jones has also made anti-Semitic comments.

I must be missing something,isn't this the minister of a country that stones women to death.

it is just a book he is not hurting anyone does he?

Funny accusation. What is next? Titanic crash, global warming, Pakistan floods, AIDS, cancer.... It is all jewish/zionist plot...Give us a break you pathetic jew haters.

Let hope there a few Islamic terrorists holding the koran while they are burning them.,,,

press 'thumbs up' if you believe that Zionists are behind the burning of Koran's in Florida and 'thumbs down' if you don't believe Zionists are involved. I am interested to know.

When will the majority of Moslems....the sane ones...finally open their mouths to refure the garbage coming from too many of their leaders and politicians.

condemning the evil Zionists and assuring Ahmedi of their undying regard for Qoran and Islam. Pastor from the US deserves all sympathy and support ;muslims are trying to stage another "Mohamed Cartoons" riot.

George W. Bush did NOTHING to bring about "Islamophobia" in the US. He is a dhimmi if there ever was one. "Islamophobia" is a totally bogus concept anyway. http://1389blog.com/2010/09/08/human-rights-is-the-new-race-card/

Now imagine this psychotic with a nuclear weapon.

i

Islamophobia was caused by Sept. 11th. When you have a group attacking you, claiming it is in the name of a religion, it's only natural to fear or dislike that religion.

But really I do not want to make a mistake most of the people do: Iranian FM is not as stupid as it seems, smoke screen and diversions employed widely on political arena.

I can understand him getting upset over the proposed burning.... Can he understand how upset others are over his countries brutal judical laws, stoning, denial of gays within Islamic society, desire to wipe the Jews from the face of the earth.... Yes in his eyes and many other people the burning of the holy book is barbaric but to carry out such judicial punishment, to advocate for such a level of violence as to wipe out a race of people etc etc all in their interpretation of the holy book leaves one to wonder how he and other can be so incensed on one hand yet so blind to their own intolerance/hatred/violence all in the name of God..... Make no wonder I am bewildered.

Funny how iran is objecting to us religan ..... Just what did expect the US to do after 9/11 to give the muslam world a peace prise ....

I am sure he will not burn the qurans.... if he is a man of god he won't . He is just trying to make a point that extremists should respect others and not kill in the name of allah. i hope i am right.

rather than the Islamist Jihadists that carried out 9/11 and continues to inspire worldwide war on freedom.

Do you know how many people in the Arab and wider Muslim World actually believe this rhetoric? We see it as almost comedic but in fact, it's downright scary because people buy into it. Never in the history of the world have a peoples been blamed for more things than the Jews. We get blamed for the death of Jesus, for 'betraying Muhammad', for global economic conspiracies, for 9/11 and the list is endless. They will do anything and everything to delegitimize the Jews. But you know what? We've survived worse and we will continue to survive - it's in our nature.

Even though many (zionist) Jews and (zionist) Jewish organizations have spoken against the burning of the Koran, it is (of course) still our fault. If you got rid of us, who would you blame?

The Middle East (including Israel) is full of crazy leaders. But the Iranian leaders consistently outdo the rest in their quest for greater heights of crazy behaviour and statements.

The kettle calling the pot black. These Mullish clowns have little time left to play their games.

I am not surprised, they can do.

Without a doubt, American Zionists are fanning the flames of anti-Muslim hatred in order to A.) further marginalize Palestinians so that Israel can steal more Arab land, and B.) to push for a US war with Iran so American (and not Israeli) troops will comprise the war dead.

is true since Evangelical Christians, as even the Koran says, are friends of Jews but not likeminded with Muslims. Christians see Christianity as a branch of Judaism whereas Moslems see Islam as the replacement of Judaism and Christianity. Islamic scholars like to pretend that they have such a high regard for the physical Koran but none of that regard can be demonstrated historically. Unlike Judaism where the Torah was entombed prior to destruction, Islam worries about the material value in deciding upon its destruction. The Pastor will likely burn an English copy anyways and that is not even considered to be the Koran. This is more crying about what victims the poor Muslims are how they need special treatment.

Well it would fit in very nicely with Netanyahu's plans if Palestinians in W Bank and Gaza started reacting violently to this Quran burning.. and Zionists have been known to get up to this sort of mischief before..

towards those who in Allah's name murders 3,000 unarmed people, including children, and then in his name praises the deaths. We ALL have a problem with that. If they, the Pals, use bibles as butt wipes, ( in Bethlehem) expect more koran burning. It's the least we can do. Good for the 'preacher' he burns the satanic verses. We all should.

Haven't you heard Mayor Bloomberg endorse the so called 'Ground Zero" Mosque and he's Jewish. No need to generalise. Yes Pamela Geller is an Islamaphoebe but the vast majority of Jews are opposed to the Quran burning and Islamophobia. We have a lot of Jewish friends in the Islamic communities in the west, there is no mistrust or suspicion. Please get your facts right Mr Mottaki. The last thing we want is Middle-East politics here in the west.

NO MATTER HOW HARD YOU TRY TO BLAME ZIONIST FOR HAVING A HAND IN THIS IT WON'T STICK.

As if more was expected from this herd.

Mottaki blamed former U.S. President George W. Bush, saying Bush's religious rhetoric after the September 11 attacks led to Islamophobia in the U.S.

Oh allah forbid that they get upset.. they might behead some infidel or worse stone them to death Thiose Muslims no one wants to upset them. But we are supposed to turn teh other cheek. Muslims of teh world listen up. You are many we are few. But we have not yet played cowboys and Muslims yet. Just ask the Indians how that turned out

Including Aids, cancer, Spain winning the world cup, Apple covering ios security holes, Justin Bieber, HBO, Lindsey Lohan...blame the zionists for everything!

I was wondering how long it would take for some "jerk" to link the church in Gainsville,Fla with Jews. Let me tell you something buddy..if Jews wanted to burn the koran they do not need anyone to hide behind..they just don't do things like this..we leave desecration up to the muslims...remember the church in Bethlehem? remember the holy Jewish sites in Jerusalem? Remember the desecration of the Jewish cemetery in Jerusalem where all of the headstones were used to pave streets and floors of bathrooms? Remember the desecration of our places of worship throughout the arab worlds and the building of that mosque on top of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem? Remember...remember...remember?

why should anyone care what this fool is doing, he deserves no attention whatsoever.

This is one sick swine.Burning of the books,not a good idea.This retarted preacher is no better the taliban

After ages of plunder and oppression and colonialism by the "white race" of the whole non-white and non-christian world the roles get turned around. The muslim world has a long way to go before they have slaughtered as many whites as there are victims of jewish and white racism and their pretended superiority.

to visit doctor and ask for brain MRI (if such device exists in iran).

It's an old boring story. Why would anyone want peace with a worthless people?

Here we go, how predictable.. Why these people NEVER see anything wrongdoing in their own actions, why it's ALWAYS somebody else: Jews, Americans, etc.?

was born a frickin idiot....put your coran where the sun don't shine

Pastor Terry Jones should cancel the event in exchange the right to distribute bibles in Moslem countries and possible allow the building of a few churches and synagogues. But don't hold your breath.

Iran would improve its image if it learned when to speak and when to STFU.

They should be telling us that anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism are not the same thing in this case... That "anti-Semitism," is an over-used and out-dated term. That when this a-hole refers to "Zionists" he's not referring to Jews.

I am as anti-Bush as they come. But He said "Islam is peace" and Jews have been some of the most vocal against this kind of visceral hate.

Just Blame Bush!

Just as Israel was responsable for 9/11, and Hariri's muder, it is responsable for all ills on this earth..........always..........according to the barbarian and hateful Iranian authorities. What else ? The earthquakes, the weather, global warming and Mottaki's brain damage.

truth its not funny. The (illegal) regime who STOLE the last election from the iranian people IS HATED by many people on this Planet and thats a Fact as WELL.

''The ayatollah further said that desecrating the Koran would not only insult Muslims worldwide, but also the followers of Jesus Christ, his mother Mary and the prophet Moses.''-rubbish.

Why there aren't any Churches or Synagogues in S.Arabia, Jordan,Pakistan & a host of other Muslim countries ? The rule should be fair for all to see:....One Church for One Mosque....One Synagogue for One Mosque. If there is an imbalance bring down the surplus mosques around the world. That will ensure Peace in the world..

Nothing to see here. Move along. -i

Under Islamic law, non-Muslim countries are never equal to Muslim countries and actually their sovereignty as a non-Muslim nation must always be challenged by Islamic jihad. Islamic law codified jihad as a permanent war with non-Muslims to establish the religion. Muslims thus have to use Taquiyya, lies, to legitimize their aggression on Israel and the West. That is why Muslim countries can never abandon the constant hate propaganda, lies and misinformation about Israel and the West. If that ends, their jihad ends. The UN must be constantly bombarded by complaints from Arab countries against Israel. The Arab street must be constantly bombarded with ridiculous accusations and Zionist conspiracies. Lately on Syrian TV a Syrian intellectual accused Israel of stealing human organs in Haiti while they were helping them after the earthquake. This is not something new; it started in the 7th century, when the prophet Mohammed accused the Jews of treason to justify killing and expelling them and taking over their wealth.

I am a ZIONIST and proud to be one,if this guy wants to burn the coran,let him do so,as he is one of the few Americans with the courage of his convictions. Mottaki,we do not have to use American churches,they are capable of reacting alone,without our help.

In the West, you protest by burning books. In Muslim countries, you protest by blowing up people.

IDONT LIKE THE IDEA OF BOOK BURNING. WE JEWS HAVE SEEN THE RESULTS. BUT OUR CONSTITION GIVES US FREEDOM TO DO IT. THOSE THAT THINK ITS SO HORRIBLE I DIDNT HEAR AN OUT GRY WHEN PAINTING OF CROSS IN URINE THAT HUNG IN THE MUSEUM.
