Iranian president was a jew !!!!

[ashdoc]

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has Jewish blood! The controversial President of Iran who is always critisizing the Jews and Israel could be spitting his dirty saliva on his own kinds without knowing it.

The Daily Telegraph recently reported this based on a photo showing Mahmoud Ahmadinejad showing his personal documents during an electoral meeting in 2008. While zooming this shot, it can be seen that Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is also named Sabourjian!

Sabourjian is a Jewish family name. The most interesting part is that Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was not born as Muslim! Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was converted to Islam after his birth and thus changing his name to reflect an Islamic one.

Everyone knows that Mahmoud Ahmadinejad changed his religion to convert to Islam and also changed his name. However he never admitted which religion he was before and what was his previous name. (For obvious reasons as said above = fear).

Well now his secret is revealed. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is a JEWISH! Mehdi Khazali (a blogger) should be feeling happy today as this news will be posted on many other blogs as from right now! To note: Mehdi Khazali is an Iranian blogger who was arrested for trying to blog about Mahmoud Ahmadinejad!

London: So much for his vitriolic attacks on Jews. Astonishing evidence uncovered by the Daily Telegraph reveals Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has a Jewish past.

A photograph of the Iranian president holding up his identity card during elections in March 2008 clearly shows his family has Jewish roots.

A close-up of the document reveals he was previously known as ‘Sabourjian’ — a Jewish name meaning cloth weaver.

The short note scrawled on the card suggests his family changed its name to Ahmadinejad when they converted to embrace Islam after his birth.

The Sabourjians traditionally hail from Aradan, Mr Ahmadinejad’s birthplace, and the name derives from “weaver of the Sabour”, the name for the Jewish Tallit shawl in Persia. The name is even on the list of reserved names for Iranian Jews compiled by Iran’s Ministry of the Interior.

Experts last night suggested Mr Ahmadinejad’s track record for hate-filled attacks on Jews could be an overcompensation to hide his past, reports the Daily Telegraph.

Ali Nourizadeh, of the Centre for Arab and Iranian Studies, said, “This aspect of Mr Ahmadinejad’s background explains a lot about him. Every family that converts into a different religion takes a new identity by condemning their old faith.

The Sabourjians traditionally hail from Aradan, Mr Ahmadinejad’s birthplace, and the name derives from “weaver of the Sabour”, the name for the Jewish Tallit shawl in Persia. The name is even on the list of reserved names for Iranian Jews compiled by Iran’s Ministry of the Interior.

“By making anti-Israeli statements he is trying to shed any suspicions about his Jewish connections. He feels vulnerable in a radical Shia society.”

“He has changed his name for religious reasons, or at least his parents had,” said the Iranian-born Jew living in London. “Sabourjian is well known Jewish name in Iran.”

The Iranian leader has not denied his name was changed when his family moved to Tehran in the 1950s. But he has never revealed what it was changed from or directly addressed the reason for the switch.

Relatives have previously said a mixture of religious reasons and economic pressures forced his blacksmith father Ahmad to change when Ahmadinejad was aged four.

During this year’s presidential debate on television he was goaded to admit that his name had changed but he ignored the jibe.

However, Mehdi Khazali, an internet blogger, who called for an investigation of Mr Ahmadinejad’s roots was arrested this summer.

Don't know whether anybody has noticed it but usually muslims who are born into the religion are generally nice and decent people (and I repeat generally) but those who convert into the religion are very "peaceful". And the reason for this is the born-muslims never take the pains to learn arabic and just rote the book of "peace" but the converts take an extra effort to understand what's written there... and this makes them extra "peaceful".

remember what Swami Vivekananda said, a converted Hindu is not only one Hindu less but one extra Enemy

Erstwhile Persia apparently had quite a few minority religion followers including Zoroastrians, Bahais & Jews who over the years either migrated to greener pastures or converted to the predominant Shia Islam fearing persecution. Based on the prevalent radicalism there, surely nobody would want to trace back their roots.

But Ahmadinejad always overdid on his vitriolic attacks on Jews than any other Islamic leader.

Errr .. is there a reputable news source that has this story?

[Cooldude]

BTW, former Malaysian PM Mahathir Mohamad, who once strongly targetted Jews in his speech (Link) strangely has Malu roots:

And so what difference does it make if Ahmedinajad was Jewish? Right now he has the finger on the Iran's nukes... that is more worrisome...

Doesn't seem to be the case. Ahmadinejad wouldn't be stupid enough to show his ID with a Jewish name. Moreover, The Telegraph has a very conservative political stance, and does what Faux News does. They could have just enlarged the ID enough for all of us to see it for ourselves.
FWIW, The Guardian has an article refuting the report.

Mushraff, Advani also had Indian, Pakistani roots irresectively. Doesn't make any difference.
