AHMADINEJAD – MASHHAD – FESTIVAL
Washington, 10 November (IranVNC)—Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad yesterday invited what he called “bullying and domineering powers” to place themselves along the path of “service to humanity and peace and justice,” and called on them to submit to one of Shiite Islam’s most revered imams.
Speaking at the closing ceremonies of the eighth Imam Reza Arts and Culture Festival in Iran’s northeastern city of Mashhad, Ahmadinejad said: “I have no doubt that if those who have newly come to power or those elements which have been in power all along, mobilized all their devilish forces, they will have no choice other than to obey the immaculate Imam [Reza] or be shoveled off from the path to perfection on which humanity is moving,” a transcript of his speech said.
The Shrine of Imam Reza [765-818 CE], located in Mashhad, is considered by Shiite Muslims to be among the holiest sites of Islam and draws tens of thousands of pilgrims from Iran and the surrounding states every year.
Addressing world powers, Ahmadinejad said: “All of you have chosen the path of rebellion and you have seen the results of prventing humanity from joining the way of the prophets, and today you are all wretched and defeated.”
Ahmadinejad warned world powers “not to imagine that they are sitting on a cache of billions [of dollars] and weapons” saying: “All of these can be blown away by the wind in the blink of an eye.”
He expressed hope that world powers would accept his invitation to “desist [their] emphasis on oppression, selfishness, bullying and killings,” saying he was extending the offer has a gift from God.
