Iranian President Ahmadinejad thanks Pope for condemning desecration of the Quran

2010-10-07 23:54:35 GMT+7 (ICT)

TEHRAN, IRAN (BNO NEWS) – Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Thursday thanked Pope Benedict XVI for condemning the desecration of the Quran in the United States last month, the state-run Fars news agency reported.

"I offer my thanks to Your Excellency for your condemnation of an unwise move by a Florida church in the US to desecrate the Holy Quran which saddened millions of Muslims across the world," expressed Ahmadinejad in a letter sent to the Pope.

The Iranian leader called for a closer cooperation among religions to stop the moral degradation of societies. He also condemned the disregard of people towards religion and the man's growing tendency to material life.

"The disregard of man for the teachings of divine religions has been on the rise and paved the way for the decline of human society. Therefore, close cooperation and interaction among divine religions to halt such destructive moves is an absolute necessity," said Ahmadinejad.

According to Iran's president, Iran is willing to further cooperate with the Vatican in order to stop acts of sacrilege, the spread of Theophobias like Islamophobia and the destabilization of families.

"Followers of divine religions have to lead the way to establishing justice, uprooting oppression and overcoming discriminatory practices. The Islamic Republic of Iran is ready to help create a change in the current world order."

Last month, a group of U.S. citizens burned some copies of the Quran and posted videos on the Internet. The sacrilege took place in New York City near Ground Zero. In addition, a group of conservative Christians tore the pages of the Holy Book outside the White House.

Terry Jones, a pastor at the Dove World Outreach Center in Gainesville, Florida, planned to mark the "9.11" attack by burning copies of the Quran in his church, but he later canceled the plan in the face of condemnation and protests around the world.

According to Iran, the act shocked the civilized world and hurt the sentiments of over 1.5 billion Muslims worldwide and billions of other believers.

Many executions of his own people for political purposes. Imagine what he would do to the world at large if we let him. He is a serious threat to world peace, and in Iranian politics, he is rather moderate. They will soon get nukes, most of the civilized world doesn't trust them with nukes, and with very good reason. Islam as a religion is NOT the same thing as Islam perverted by Iran and other horrific Islamic state regimes.

That said, of course it is insane to be burning Qurans or any book for that matter. Especially Quarans given how touchy Muslims are on such things.

Totally wrong. You are very misinformed. This is NOT only about Israel, it is about the entire Middle east and the greater world.

rubbish... don't fall the western propaganda. Iran would never be so stupid to strike any nation first.. would be suicidal..

no.. the first strike would and probably will come from the state of Israel, following more dire propaganda & false flag crap (Gulf of Tonkin anyone?) aimed at creating even further the new 'boogey man'

Major countries in the Middle East are also concerned so you are completely off base that this is only a western concern. Israel would never make a first nuclear strike but they may indeed bomb Iran with regular weapons within the next few years. It would better if the US with the help of western Europe do that though, if it comes to that, and it might indeed.

Just calling a post moronic isn't a discussion. If that is all you've got to say, why post AT ALL?

Let us say it. Barring the unforeseen, there will be a major Middle East war in the next two years.

In the thinking of Saudi Arabia and Egypt, Iran simply appears more dangerous than Israel. Their fear is that a nuclear-armed Iran will upend the regional balance of power and endanger their regimes. From the viewpoint of the rulers, it is a rational fear.

The trigger points of course will probably be related to the current Israeli-Palestine talks failing as they almost definitely will. Then when Israel sees that global pressure on Iran is not working to stop the Iranian nuclear program, Israel will attack. They will want cooperation with the US on that, but will do it no matter what. This is a VERY SHORT time line, two to three years max, quite possibly much less time.

Next ...

If anyone kills or threatens another person because they burnt the Bible, the Quran or a spiderman comic then they all need to be taken out of the gene-pool as they are the real threat to the world.

      Is Earth round or flat❓

      I appreciate you having the honesty to follow your rationale all the way (most people don't) and admit that ultimately, what prevents you from going there is that you are not prepared to accept the scale of such a deception. I totally get it as I was in that position myself for a long time. The Overton window is shifting quickly on this issue, which has moved away from the fringes, from Elon Musks's troll comments on space footage "looking like fake CGI but definitely real" to Candace Owens claiming she has "broken away from the cult of science" and now totally open to alternative theories regarding the shape of the Earth. (I'm guessing I'm going to get at least 5 laughing emojis for this one.)

      Abortion

      No. This is not right. It IS a right. And, in the USA, for example....the stigma is incredible. Just trying to set up a procedure is still very difficult, at clinics. The stigma and the hurdles must go. If you want to know what it should be like: Please just look to Taiwan. No problems there. Honestly.

      Huberman is very POPular, these days. Still, he is NUTZO, and quite an idiot. Sometimes, no matter what..... Even at great universities.... We can still find idiots. Stanford needs to get rid of this guy if Stanford wishes to protect its integrity. Charlatans are probably a dime-a-dozen at major unis. Just listen to Does ANYBODY take these two seriously???? No way...Jose....!!!! BIRDS OF A FEATHER....with plenty of supplements for all....555555 Even Vitamin-C Pauling was never such a blatant supplement-advocate as these two.

      Is Earth round or flat❓

      The "blue marble" is an invention and NASA has in fact never taken a picture of the entire planet Earth. Each one of the pictures released over the years is unequivocally altered and the inconsistencies are undeniable: But don't take my word for it, here is NASA data visualizer and designer Robert Simmon, creator of the "blue marble": In the existing cloud map some people have noticed a few repeating features that appear photoshopped. They are. There are gaps between orbits near the equator, and there’s no way to fill them with real data. Compositing separate images into a convincing whole is (of course) easier said than done. Even with control of each layer in my image processing software (Photoshop) it took hours of tweaking and re-tweaking transparency, layer masks, hue, saturation, gaussian blur, and curves to get an image that looked like the picture I had in my head. https://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/blogs/elegantfigures/2011/10/06/crafting-the-blue-marble/ The hard part was creating a flat map of the Earth’s surface with four months’ of satellite data. Reto Stockli, now at the Swiss Federal Office of Meteorology and Climatology, did much of this work. Then we wrapped the flat map around a ball. My part was integrating the surface, clouds, and oceans to match people’s expectations of how Earth looks from space. That ball became the famous Blue Marble. https://www.nasa.gov/people-of-nasa/robert-simmon-aka-mr-blue-marble/

      Abortion

      Police has nothing to do with it. Abortion has been legal in Thailand for several years. No need for "backroom procedures" nor for improper procedures. Medical abortion (taking tablets) and d&c (dilatation and curettage) are both done here. Abortion is done by doctors, in clinics or hospitals, staff is very caring. The places I named are the most obvious choices, there are others. But many doctors or hospitals won't do it, that's their personal choice. The posts above are misleading. And as I said before, it's walk-in service. No need to call first, just don't come after 3pm. The earlier, the better.

      Is Earth round or flat❓

      Gravity is among the weakest of the forces known to Nature. Even weaker than.... The weakling on the beach. Still, the only reason that there is an Earth is due to gravity. The conglomeration of particles only happens due to the force of gravity. Also, during the mating season, the gravitational force between males and females causes procreation. Otherwise, neither you nor I would even be here.

      Is Earth round or flat❓

      I don’t give much credence to Newton’s theory of gravity. Density is, I believe, the most probable theory (to the smart*sses: yes,if I jump off a building I will crash to the ground, because my body is denser than the surrounding air). The gravity idea, just as the Earth curvature idea, is riddled with contradictions and absurdities. Newton himself, according to David Wardlaw Scott, confessed that the explanation of the moon's action on the tides did not fit well with his theory of gravitation, which asserts that the larger object attracts the smaller (but the mass of the Moon is only one-eighth of that of the Earth). Why are lakes not affected by tides? Gravity is strong enough to hold the oceans to a spinning ball, yet weak enough that birds can still fly?
