Ahmadinejad Calls On Moslems To Boost Vigilance Against Israel

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad called on world Moslems to increase their vigilance against Israel.Mahmoud Ahmadinejad'The Zionist regime (Israel) is today a threat to the whole Middle East region and therefore Moslems should increase their vigilance against this regime,' Ahmadinejad said in a meeting with local officials. Ahmadinejad has been condemned worldwide this week for his anti- Israeli rhetoric and doubts over the extent of the Holocaust voiced last Wednesday. The Holocaust is the broad term used to describe Nazi Germany's systematic extermination of some six million Jews in Europe during World War Two. Ahmadinejad in his remarks used the term 'fairy tale' in referring to those events. While Iranian Foreign Minister Manuchehr Mottaki shared Ahmadinejad's doubts about the Holocaust and termed his remarks in line with Iran's stance, Interior Minister Mostafa Pourmohammadi said the president's remarks were misunderstood by Western governments, adding that Iran had no intention to investigate the Holocaust issue.
