Prayers for Ahmadinejad - which one to choose?

1) On 19 September, at a large enclosed outdoor area in Tehran set up for the Friday noontime prayer, an anti-Baha’i petition was on prominent display for worshippers to sign.

The day was the third Friday of Ramadan, when huge crowds come because it is one of the few times during the year that Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei leads prayers and offers a sermon.

Officials from the Ministry of Intelligence were on the spot to make sure that people signed the petition on their way in to prayers. (!!!!!)



2) Larry King interviewed Iran's president on Tuesday night 23 September 2008. Ahmadinejad was staying in New York for the United Nation's 63rd General Assembly.



жаль, что спросив про права человека, он сделал такое "суженное" уточнение :)

Bahá’ís understand this pattern of persecution as a manifestation of the misunderstanding and fear that often occur when a new religion emerges from the matrix of a well-established orthodoxy. The pattern has been repeated through the ages; indeed, virtually all of the world’s great religions have faced intense persecution in their early history.
