Khamenei: ‘Tumour' of Israel Biggest Problem for Islamic World
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
The "cancerous tumor" of Israel is the biggest problem confronting Muslim countries today, Iran's supreme leader said on Sunday, repeating an epithet slammed just days earlier by U.N. chief Ban Ki-moon and U.S. and EU officials.
In a speech marking Eid al-Fitr, the end of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said "the big powers have dominated the destiny of the Islamic countries for years and... installed the Zionist cancerous tumor in the heart of the Islamic world," according to the official IRNA news agency.
"Many of the Islamic world's problems come from the existence of the sham Zionist regime," he was quoted as saying.
The "tumor" characterization was a repeat of terms Khamenei and President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad have long used to portray Israel as an illegitimate state in the Middle East that will inevitably disappear.
In the most recent incidents, last Wednesday Khamenei called Israel a "bogus and fake Zionist outgrowth" and Ahmadinejad on Friday said: "The Zionist regime and the Zionists are a cancerous tumor."
Those expressions were met with condemnation on Friday by the U.N.'s Ban, the United States, EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton and France's foreign ministry.
In his speech on Sunday to top Iranian officials and Muslim ambassadors in Tehran, Khamenei said the issue of Israel and its control over the Palestinian people was the main problem for Islamic countries.
"All Islamic governments and people have to pay attention to the very dangerous plot (by the West) that seeks to obscure this issue by creating divisions within the Islamic nation," he was quoted as saying.
He accused the world's "big powers" of using "the old method of 'divide and conquer'" on Islamic states, but said the popular revolts shaking the Arab world were changing the situation.
Tensions between Israel and Iran are taut because of threats by the Jewish state to attack nuclear facilities in the Islamic republic to prevent it reaching the capability to produce nuclear weapons.

Sharif, your not very bright are you? Why are you spreading lies? Jerusalem is indeed mentioned in the noble qoran, its in the surah called al israa2. Look it up before you think you can fool anyone. By the way, this lie is from the zionist propaganda and sharif is a muslim name so let me guess, your a jew with a fake alias? Nice try. Whatever, not important. Alquds is neither for jews nor the shia. Its a muslim city. Shias have hijacked its cause only to spread confusion. To them, karbala in iraq is a million times holier than alquds. All falsehood will perish and islam and its followers will prevail. It has been written and fortold by God himself.

Typical ignorance from a wannabee phoenician. All prophets feom Adam to Muhammad (peace be upon them all) were muslims. Christians have nothing to with christ who was a muslim while you guys worship him and cclaim he is God and/or son of God, as well as his mother and saints and what not. Secondly, al quds is the arabic name for jerusalem used by arabs regardless of religion. Islam is the only religion which protects both chrisyian jews rights (real jews that is, not the liberal atheist zionazis). Christian churches were protected by muslims yet turned in to barns by the zionist jews. While jews in europe were put in gas chambers. Muslims believe in all prophets and the final book (qoran) while you guys reject that and have turned the original religion of moses and christ in to something other than Islam which is the religion the prophets followed. The only diffirence was that they had a diffirent set of laws.

When the final prophet muhammad was sent, all of you were obliged by God to believe in him, yet most jews and christians rejected him and thus prooved that they are not actual followers of their prophets nor true to God and thus you have no right to rule alquds as this right is for muslims and will return to muslims. Palestinian christians and jews will be allowed to keep their rights of course as long as they agree not to fight thw muslims (likewise they will not be fought).

Mr truthseeker here wat i found and ur a lil mistaken ,first its the al isra number 1 where it talks about the aqsa and second in the israa number 1 doesent say much about jerusalem belonging to the islam,cuz jerusalem is in my opinion belong first to the jewish nation NOT because im the lawyer of the jews but history talks and they have prooves from the first and second temple longtime ago.and if the shias are not really interested in jerusalem how come iran and Mr nasralla keep barking ? anyway may god make peace for all nations and countries
here wat i found for ur general infos
al isra1: Exalted is He who took His Servant by night from al-Masjid al-Haram to al-Masjid al- Aqsa, whose surroundings We have blessed, to show him of Our signs. Indeed, He is the Hearing, the Seeing
al isra 2 :And We gave Moses the Scripture and made it a guidance for the Children of Israel that you not take other than Me as Disposer of affairs
take care Mr truth seeker

Before Judaism, Christianity or Islam Jerasale was the center of a Jebusite Kingdom... Let's give it back to the Jabusites and live together in peace (Ur Al Shalim, the city of peace)

I have no problems with the jews. The problem is with the state of Israel. It is a tumor indeed.

They exaggerated the number of deaths in the concentration camps and lied about the gassing to justify the creation of the zionist state so they they could exert control over the area due to its natural resources.
As a European I finally understand. And I don't care anymore being called a holocaust denier.

Sorry Mr. Khamenei but there is no problem with the Muslem world.
It is doing very well...
Indonesia (the most populated muslem country in the world) and Malasia and regional economical powers; Turkey is a regional power (and a potential member of the European Union) in competition with Iran which is becoming soon a nuclear power...
It is the Arab world that is suffering since the western powers undestood the importance of oil and decided to have absolute control over this source of energy.
Israel is a "tumor" for the Arabs countries with Muslem, Christian, Jewish and Atheist citizens...
