Ahmadinejad: America on 'Verge of Death'

Thursday, April 30, 2009 2:49 PM



Israel and America are on the ‘verge of death’ and as a result, Iran will never give up its nuclear research facilities, according to Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who recently offered this insight in a rambling television interview.

In the interview, broadcast on IRINN –TV on April 22, Ahmadinejad told the story of a prime minister from an “industrialized country” who was seeking to do business in Iran. But that was only possible, the minister told Ahmadinejad, if Iran gave up the “nuclear issue.”

“I felt very sorry for him, so I put my hand on his shoulder, and said: ‘Dear sir, don't be so afraid of America. Don't be afraid of those Zionists. They are on the verge of death. Their time has past. Do not surrender your people to them,’" Ahmadinejad told the interviewer.

The Iranian president then described a similar encounter at the recent Durban Review Conference on racism in Geneva, where Ahmadinejad prompted a walkout by nearly two dozen countries after he called Israel a racist state.

“Somebody, somewhere, when we went to that conference [Durban II] a few days ago, said to me: ‘Sir, you are in Iran, not in Palestine. Do not deal with this issue. Let the 'front of arrogance' (an Iranian term for the West) implement their plans over there,’” Ahmadinejad said. “’Don't get so involved.’

“Let me tell you the answer I gave him. I said to him: ‘Don't you know the nature of the Zionists? Don't you know who the Zionists are?’” the Iranian president said. “’They came in order to take over our region in its entirety. At first, they said that they wanted [a country] from the Nile to the Euphrates. Once the got settled, they said that there had been a mistake, and that they wanted all the Islamic lands.’”

Ahmadinejad then suggested that the debacle at Durban was a Zionist-inspired conspiracy.

I say hello to all the Iranians!

I posted this just for all you Christian haters. Did you know Islam is the fastest growing religion in America and the entire world?

You think you have it bad now.... Good Luck!!!

Does anyone truly believe they would have any more sympathy for christians than any other non-islamic people? We are all infidels and have no rights to existence in the eyes of these extremists.

I met a Iranian couple who were Mormon and had children who are Pagans with a dog named Jesus

I wasn't implying that Christians would escape the wrath. However, Christians do live in muslim countries, and there is little violence between them. I was specifically referring to other groups that are represented here that wouldn't last very long under muslim rule.

You think Christianity wouldn't be just as bad with some of the heads of the conservative Right wing? I say both religions are scarey when they are out for power and control. I don't know any christian 'haters', I do know people fed up with the Religious Right though, and their lust for power and dominance, it's just as ugly as anyother religion out for the same thing.

I get what you are saying, but to be honest, you would have already been put in jail never to see the light of day again if you lived in Iran or Saudi Arabia.

Do you feel better now?

Oh and by the way I would prefer not to live at all than to live in any country that antiquated and that ignorant.

Why would I feel better? I wouldn't want to see you put in jail.

Ahmadinejad is obsessed with Zionism. So are all the countries, one way or another, usually the sharp far to both ends of the spectrum.
