www.iranvnc.com transcript: "New Iranian book mocks the Holocaust Washington, Oct. 1, 2008 (IranVNC)- Iran released a satirical book of cartoons on the Holocaust on Sept. 26. The government celebrated the book on its World Quds Day of protests against Israel and solidarity with the Palestinians. But it appears that Holocaust cartoons are not a new phenomenon in Iran. Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has repeatedly described the Holocaust as a "myth." And now his government has released a new satirical book on the killing of six million European Jews in World War II. The unveiling of the "Holocaust" book was celebrated on September 26 in Qods Square. It was the highlight of Iran's World Quds Day of protests against Israel and a show of solidarity with the Palestinians. The book cover depicts a caricature with a hooked nose dressed in orthodox Jewish clothes drawing the outlines of dead bodies on the ground. Fifty-three caricatures and satirical writings fill the 108 pages of this book. It was written by Omid Mehdinejad and illustrated by caricaturist Maziar Bijani. As seen here, Mohammad-Ali Ramin, the main advisor to the Iranian President on Jewish matters, released the book at the ceremony. He told Iran's semi-official news agency, IRNA: "Sixty years after this story, if someone wants to pose a question about it, anywhere in the world, they will crack down on him using various psychological methods." Holocaust cartoons are not a new phenomenon in Iran. Two years ago <b>...</b>

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad says the International Quds Day against Israeli hostilities in the Middle East has paved the way for Tel Aviv's collapse. Addressing a large protest rally in the Iranian capital Tehran, President Ahmadinejad said that "the Zionists are groups of hypocrite racists who have been operating under the pretext of following Jewish religion principles." He further added that Israel was fabricated by the West to promote their colonialist scheme through materialistic agenda in the new world. The Iranian chief executive blasted the recent direct talks between Israel and Palestinian Authority officials on the Palestinian issue and said, "Only Palestinians could decide on their own lands not foreign powers." The Iranian president accused the Middle East moderators who have been engaged in direct talks with Israeli officials of being accomplice to the Israeli atrocities against Palestinians. He further pointed out that Israel has been on decline over the popular resistance and global awakening against its aggressions and is on the brink of collapse despite the US financial and military backup to save it. He also called on Western powers to abandon their support of "the Zionists" and renounce their agenda. President Ahmadinejad made the comments in central Tehran, where people had gathered to mark the International Quds Day on the last Friday of Ramadan. People across Iran took to the streets on September 3, to protest the continued occupation of <b>...</b>

nureinwort.blogspot.com Some Angles on the Islamic Revolution (Ivor Benson) An exploration of the Islamic Revolution in Iran and its meaning for the rest of the world can begin with three wide-ranging generalizations 1. The Islamic Revolution showed that religion can still be a more potent mobilizer of mass political action than can secular ideologies; 2. The revolution challenges the cultural hegemony of Western ideas, not only as a religion but as an alternative social model and way of life; 3. The Islamic Revolution thus can be regarded as one of the most important happenings in modern history, comparable to the French Revolution in the 18th century and the Russian Revolution in this century. There are innumerable reasons for believing that the emergence of highly dynamic Islamic fundamentalism in Iran is a development of incalculable worldwide consequence. The Center for International Studies of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology had this comment: "The Iranian Revolution has highlighted one of the principal religious and political developments of our time: the revival of Islamic fundamentalism from Indonesia to Morocco and from Turkey to Central Africa." Dr. Algar, professor of Persian and Islamic Studies at the University of California, Berkeley, observes: "The subject of the Islamic Revolution in Iran is one whose importance hardly needs underlining. With the passage of time, its importance will become even clearer, as being the most significant and profound <b>...</b>

Quds Day (Persian: rūz-e quds), officially in Iran known as International al-Quds Day (), is an annual event on the last Friday of Ramadan, expressing solidarity with the Palestinian people and opposing Zionism as well as Israel's control of Jerusalem.
Quds Day rallies were first introduced in non-Arab Iran by the Ayatollah Khomeini in 1979, and the day's parades are sponsored and organized annually by the Iranian government there. In recent years, only a marginal proportion of young Iranians have attended.
History
, Sweden; Al-Quds Day 2008]] The annual anti-Zionist day of protest was conceived originally by the leader of Iran's Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini. In August 1979, the year of the Revolution, in solidarity with the Palestinians, Khomeini declared the liberation of Jerusalem a religious duty to all Muslims. He stated:
The day is also marked throughout Muslim and Arab countries. During the First Intifada in January 1988, the Jerusalem Committee of the Organisation of the Islamic Conference decided that Quds Day should be commemorated in public events throughout the Arab world. In countries with significant Shi'a populations, particularly Lebanon where Hezbollah organizes Quds Day events, there is significant attendance. Events are also held in Iraq, the Palestinian Gaza Strip, and Syria. Hamas, and the Islamic Jihad Movement in Palestine endorse Quds Day, and hold ceremonies. Outside of the Middle East and the wider Arab World, Quds Day protests have taken place in the United Kingdom, Germany, Canada, Sweden, France, the United States, and some predominantly Muslim countries in east Asia.
Quds Day events in Iran
In Iran, the day's parades are sponsored and organized by the government.
2005 Quds Day
Over one million people, with over 100,000 in each of Iran's eight largest cities, marched in the 2005 Quds Day protests in Tehran and other cities across Iran. Then newly elected President of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, called for the destruction of Israel before a crowd of over 200,000 in Tehran.Protests were staged throughout the Middle East and the wider Arab World, with over 30,000 Bahrainis marching in Manama, and 6,000 Hezbollah guerrillas marching in Beirut.
Over 3,000 people marched in Damascus carrying Palestinian flags. Hezbollah organized marches in the city's Yarmouk refugee camp. There were reports of similar protests in Isfahan, Tabriz, Yazd and Shiraz.
Iranian state TV played down the unrest, Independent sources estimated "tens of thousands" to over 100,000 in Tehran, many of them bused in by the regime.
As he has done on previous such occasions, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad denied the Holocaust, once more provoking intense criticism and condemnation from Western governments in particular. He stated, "The pretext (Holocaust) for the creation of the Zionist regime (Israel) is false ... It is a lie based on an unprovable and mythical claim." His statements drew immediate condemnation from the governments of the United States, Russia, and the European Union.
2010 Quds Day
At the 2010 Quds Day rally in Tehran, Iranian President Ahmadinejad again predicted the demise of Israel, stating, "If the leaders of the region do not have the guts, then the people of the region are capable of removing the Zionist regime from the world scene." He dismissed any Israeli military threat to Iran's nuclear program, declaring, "The Zionist regime is nothing and even its (Western) masters are too small to conduct any kind of aggression against Iran and the rights of the Iranian people." Ahmadinejad also proclaimed new peace talks between Israelis and Palestinians as "stillborn and doomed." The tens of thousands of Iranians participating in the rallies continued the regular chants of "Death to America! Death to Israel!" The day before the rallies, Ayatollah Khamenei tweeted, "Israel Is A Hideous Entity In the Middle East Which Will Undoubtedly Be Annihilated."In Quetta, Pakistan, a suicide bomber attacked Pakistani Shias holding a Quds Day rally . The Pakistani Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack which killed at least 65 people and wounded 160. Two days earlier, on September 1, the Pakistani Taliban had targeted a Shia procession in Lahore, killing 35 in a series of three suicide bombings.
