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.It appears that Ali visited a church as well.
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."
No official word on what would have happened to any of the honored Jews if they would have publicly disagreed with him about Zionism.
