Iranian, President Ahmadinejad is reported to have said the he and the Iranian government want to ‘wipe Israel off the Map.’ The media in the US and the United Kingdom had a field day and indoing so they created mass condemnation of the Iranian President. But what is the reality of what he said?

I for one do not trust the media at all, they lie about everything, they lie about Allah allah Does Iran’s President Ahmadinejad Want Israel Wiped Off The Map? (swt) and they lie about our beloved Nabie (saw), they lie about Islam, they lie about war and they lie about peace. So when one hears such statements, although admittedly not beyond the realms of possibility, one should have a slight suspicious mind.

Investigating this claim I found this article and I though you would be interested in knowing what really was said.

Reffering to President Ahmadinejad’s statement it reads..

The term ‘map’ to which the media refer at length does not even appear. Whereas the ‘New York Times’ said: “Our dear Imam said that the occupying regime must be wiped off the map” the version by MEMRI is: “Imam [Khomeini] said: This regime that is occupying Qods [Jerusalem] must be eliminated from the pages of history.”

An independent translation of the original (like the version published by ISNA) yields that Ahmadinejad does not use the term ‘map’. He quotes Ayatollah Khomeini’s assertion that the occupation regime must vanish from this world – literally translated: from the arena of times. Correspondingly: there is no space for an occupation regime in this world respectively in this time. The formulation ‘wipe off the map’ used by the ‘New York Times’ is a very free and aggravating interpretation which is equivalent to ‘razing something to the ground’ or ‘annihilating something’

Even the BBC fails to get it right, they insist that the speech was “highly emotive“ and it still stands by their translation as “wiped off the map” – I wanna know who does their Farsi to English translations.

The media loves the game they play, even if it will cost lives in the end.
