From the Islamic Republic News Agency, Jan 21, 2006:
"Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said here Friday night that the culture ingrained in pure Islam can only be spread and promoted through kindness and benevolence.
President Ahmadinejad remarks were made during a meeting with Syrian elite Shiites and members of Damascus charity organizations.
"Today, humanity thirsts for the culture ingrained in pure Islam.
Muslims and Shiites, in particular, shoulder a heavy responsibility of promoting this culture," he said.
He, morover, said that irreproachable conduct would be the best way to introduce and promote Islamic culture, saying, "Kindness and service to people are two major pillars of conduct beyond reproach."
Nice guy? Okay, same day, same news service:
"President Ahmadinejad said Friday Palestine is the center of the final stages of the battle between Islam and arrogance, saying the Palestinian Intifada is progressing.
The plots hatched by enemies against Palestine should not be overlooked even for a moment, Ahmadinejad noted in a meeting with leaders of the Palestinian resistance movements in Damascus, Syria.
Ahmadinejad arrived in Damascus on Thursday upon the official invitation of his Syrian counterpart -- President Bashar al-Assad.
He spoke of the importance of the Palestinian cause and stressed the cause will not come be materialized if occupiers continue to occupy even a tiny part of Palestine's territories.
He stressed that unity, coordination and sympathy among resistance groups for the Palestinian cause is the only guarantee for Palestine's liberation.
The Islamic Republic of Iran supports the Palestinian cause of statehood and liberation of Islamic territories from occupiers, he added.
Elsewhere, he noted that one of the reasons westerners were lined up against Iran's undeniable right to gain peaceful nuclear technology was because of Iran's uncompromising support for Palestine.
The visit of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to Syria is considered another gesture of political support to Damascus and the Islamic resistance, said Hamas political leader Khaled Mishaal.
The Hamas official extended his thanks to the Iranian president for his firm stance on the Palestinian issue, saying the resistance group, Hamas, considers resistance the only way to resolve the Palestinians' rights and success of their avowed goals."
Note. The "occupiers" are the Jewish people. In other words, they want to destroy Isreal. All I did was copy and paste. Nice guy?
