“God willing the flag of monotheism and Muslim glory will be hoisted and the ground will be paved for the expulsion of the enemies from the occupied lands.”
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
During His Spiritual Pilgrimage to Mecca
December 20, 2007
At the Hajj, Ahmadinejad also professed to what he sees as Islam’s goal- a Global Government, via IRNA:
IRI President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said here Wednesday on Al-Adha Eid Day in Saudi Arabia philosophy of Haj can be defined merely through considering Islam’s aim at establishment of a global government…
He said, “If we would delete the ultimate objective of establishing a global system from the Haj rituals, the remainder would be deeds devoid of a soul.”
Hmm. You’d think those two lines from Mahmoud might get a few headlines.

While on his holy pilgrimage to Mecca Iranian President Ahmadinejad had time to lash out at the “Zionist regime” in Israel and voice his support to Hezbollah Secretary General Seyyed Hassan Nasrollah.
Fars News reported:
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad Thursday said the unyielding resistance of the Palestinian nation promises a strong victory against the Zionist regime.
“We are waiting for the day to witness the flag of arrogance being pulled down,” Ahmadinejad told Sheikh Muhammad Yazbek, a member of Hezbollah’s High Council, in Mena in Saudi Arabia, where he is performing his hajj rituals as a Muslim.
“God willing the flag of monotheism and Muslim glory will be hoisted and the ground will be paved for the expulsion of the enemies from the occupied lands,” he added..
The president further termed Palestine as an “inseparable organ of Islam’s body” and expressed regret over the present conditions in Palestine, which he said is experiencing the worst type of situation it has ever faced.
He also reminded that the present conditions in the Palestinian territories necessitate increased Muslim support for the Palestinians.
Ahmadinejad also called Hezbollah Secretary General Seyyed Hassan Nasrollah a brother and a beloved hero to Muslim nations, and requested Yazbek to convey his warmest regards to Nasrollah and all Hezbollah members.
This, of course, follows the Iranian Hajj rally Tuesday where they chanted “Death to America!” and “Death to Israel!”
