Iranian official visits synagogue to denounce Zionism

Al Arabiya (Arabic) reports:

Assistant Iranian President for Nationalities and Religious Minorities, Yonsei Ali, called to fight "Salafists and al-Qaeda and Zionism" which he called extremist ideas in a speech on Friday evening during a visit to a synagogue in Shiraz, southern Iran.

During his speech to the Iranian Jews, Yonsei strongly criticized religious extremist tendencies in the world, and considered them a threat to international peace.

He said: While there may be relatively few members of al Qaeda and Salafist Islam and the Zionist Jews and pro-Christian extremists, they pose a threat to international peace, and everyone must address them."

It appears that Ali visited a church as well.

No official word on what would have happened to any of the honored Jews if they would have publicly disagreed with him about Zionism.
