| Ahmadinejad sends message to Lebanon |
| 2010-09-18 |
Iranian Ambassador to Leb Ghazanfar Roknabadi has submitted a written message from President Mahmoud Short RoundAhmadinejad to his Lebanese counterpart, Michel Sleiman. Speaking at a meeting with Lebanese President Michel Sleiman on Thursday, Roknabadi expressed outrage at the blasphemous action by a number of gunnies in the US who tore pages of the Holy Qur'an and set them on fire. He described the sacrilegious move as a "Zionist plot" intended to stoke religious strife. The Iranian envoy also called on Christians and Mohammedans to maintain unity between the two divine religions, IRNA reported. Sleiman, for his part, said the Lebanese nation took a clear stance when Florida pastor Terry Jones announced plans to burn the Holy Qur'an on the ninth anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks. The Lebanese president lauded Tehran's efforts to bring stability and unity inside Leb and underscored the need for more cooperation with Iran on regional and international issues. |
