Iranian Supreme Leader condemns anti-Islam movie

His Eminence Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamanei, Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran in his message said:

"The wicked enemies of Islam have once again revealed their deep malice by insulting the Holy Prophet and in an idiotic and disgusting move, they showed that evil Zionist groups are furious at the increasing brilliance of Islam and the Holy Quran in the world today.

The fact that they have made the holiest person in all of creation the target of their disgusting nonsense is enough to disgrace those who have committed this great crime and sin.

"What lies behind this wicked move is the hostile policies of Zionism, America and other leaders of the arrogant powers, who are vainly trying to make young generations in the Islamic world lose respect for what is held sacred and to extinguish their religious sentiments.

The number one culprit in this crime is Zionism and the American government.

If American politicians are sincere that they are not involved, they should duly punish the perpetrators and the financial backers of this hideous crime, who have filled the hearts of Muslim people with pain.

Our Muslim brothers and sisters throughout the world should know that these futile and desperate moves by the enemies against Islamic Awakening are a sign of the greatness and importance of this uprising and a sign of its increasing growth.
