Iranian presidentcalls for action against those who are occupying and killing oppressed peopleIrans President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad called on the Muslim world to unite to eradicate Zionism, which he called corrupt, uncultured and murderous Sunday.
Ahmadinejad spoke in Tehran to the 26th International Islamic Unity Conference, which coincided with International Holocaust Remembrance Day.
Muslim nations around the world should pursue specific aims toward unity, Irans semi-official PressTV quoted the president as saying. Monotheism and justice were among the target goals Irans president set for the Muslim countries.
Under [the] circumstances [in which] the corrupt, uncultured and murderous Zionists are occupying and killing oppressed people, we should not sit idly by,Ahmadinejad reportedly told the crowd.
The president also criticized the current economic world order, saying it served only the strong countries while further destroying weaker ones.
The existence of deep rifts and dissension among various sects within the Muslim world got short shrift from Irans leader, who stated that an incomplete understanding of the Quran was the reason for such differences.
