Ayatollah calls Ahmadinejad a “bastard” who will “destroy Shiism”
17 August 2009 Posted By David Elliott
“What will destroy Shiism is saying in front of millions of people that the clerics and their children are thieves who have been stealing for thirty years,” Sane’i said, in a video posted to YouTube apparently taken at a sermon in Gorgan.
In a televised debate preceding the presidential election, Ahmadinejad had accused Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani and his family of fiscal corruption.Sanei added, “What kind of a Shia government is this? There’s been thievery for 30 years and they have just found out about it? Meanwhile, billions are transferred to Turkey and the report is rejected.”
“Calling someone a thief means tarnishing someone’s image and is punishable under Islamic law,” he said. But Sanai admitted corruption does exist among officials. ”Yes, some people in this establishment are guilty of thievery.”“The person who makes such accusations, if he has taken an oath in Majlis to protect the honor of the people, breaks his oath. As the oath is sworn on the Quran, breaking it has a pecuniary punishment as well as a mortal sin.”
“He lies because he is a bastard or else he would have seen the hidden Imam,” Sanei said, as laughter rippled through his audience.

So where is the News? I find it sad that you are reporting and hanging on to the words of illiterate ayatollah as if he is telling us something new and illuminating. I think he has not gotten his share of robbery.
I watched the video. He is an insult to human intellect. He may have just discovered what every Iranian and every rational and intelligent human being in the world have known for a long time that this corrupt regime is committing crime in the name of Allah.
