Iran Seeks to Spread "Thought of Ahmadinejad"
[AFP/Yahoo] Ahmadinejad's chief of staff Abdol Reza Sheikh-ol Eslami has set up a special body to oversee the spread of the philosophy of the Iranian President, Iranian media reported on Sunday. Ahmadinejad's ideology is a distinctive mixture of religious rhetoric, assertions of Iran's power, and sharp attacks against Israel and the Western powers. He has repeatedly predicted that Israel will disappear, calling for the Jewish state to be "wiped off the map," and last week said a "countdown" had begun towards its destruction. He has also dismissed the Holocaust as a "myth."
