Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei says hostility towards Islam is more obvious than ever now, citing the desecration of the Holy Qur’an in the West as an evidence.
“An example of it is insulting the Holy Qur’an – what an ignorant idiot does and a government supports it,” the Leader told a group of people, government officials, ambassadors of Islamic countries and guests of an international unity conference in Tehran Tuesday.
“This shows that the issue is not just the insult to the Qur’an and the scene of the act. Our issue is with the planners of this crime and hateful act. They think they can weaken the Qur’an, but they are wrong and they ruin themselves,” he said.
Ayatollah Khamenei suggested that Israel is behind the blasphemous act, saying the regime holds a spite toward Muslim nations.
“The Zionist regime is full of hatred and anger, not only towards us, but also other countries. It is not like the Zionist regime is happy with the countries far and around it. They also hate Egypt, Iraq and Syria.
“Why? Because their goal was from the Nile to the Euphrates and this did not happen. These countries did not allow it for different reasons,” the Leader said.
“Of course, the Qur’an says, ‘Be angry and die of anger.’ That will be the case. They are dying now and by the grace of God ‘Be angry and die of anger’ is being realized in the case of the Zionist regime,” Ayatollah Khamenei added.
