Ahmadinejad: "The Final Point of Liberal Civilization"

In a television speech that you can watch at the MEMRI-TV site, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad told his audience that Israel represented “the final point of liberal civilization.”

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad: The final point of liberal civilization is the false and corrupt state that has occupied Jerusalem. That's the bottom line. That's what all those who talk about liberalism and support it have in common. . . .

In my opinion, if we unmask the liberal order, and present it to humanity bare and without any mask, we will see that its role model is a bunch of shameless Zionists, perpetrating crimes in Palestine. . . .

They should know that the volcano of rage of the peoples of the region is boiling. . . .

I'm telling you… If this volcano erupts--and we are on the brink of eruption . . . and if this ocean rages, its waves will not be limited to the region.

The file containing 60 years of crimes committed by this regime is placed on the table of the peoples. Each and every one of them will be held accountable.

The interview, taken together with a report from the Islamic Republic News Agency, suggests that Ahmadinejad sees the end of the crisis coming. But he’s not talking about the problems in Lebanon or Gaza. No, he’s talking about the clash between the Muslim and the non-Muslim worlds. And he sees the final victory of the former in the offing.

President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad here on Tuesday evening warned bullying powers of the wrath of regional nations. Addressing a local seminar attended by several university professors and thinkers in this northeastern provincial capital, he said bullying powers will soon burn in the fire of regional nations' wrath and the scenario of oppressors is coming to end.

The world is on the verge of great developments, he said, adding that world Muslims will soon be victorious over their aggressors. As to the current situation in Palestinian territories, the Iranian president called for a free and fair election for Palestinians through which they may determine their own fate. He denounced the Zionist regime for its dreadful crimes in the region on the pretext of obtaining release of two of its captured soldiers, adding that the current Israeli offensive has been pre-planned. The aggressors will suffer the most in the current situation, he concluded.


Does he really believe what he says? Was the election in the Palestinian Authority that brought Hamas to power not free and fair. Does he believe the Sunni Arab world is prepared to accept the leadership of Shi'a Iran?
