Ahmadinejad vs. Allah

By Kamangir • Aug 26th, 2007 • Category: Humour, Iran, Islam, Islamic Republic
Q) Were you recommended by anyone to Ahmadinejad?

A) I don’t know. I never asked him. A mutual friend had asked him who had recommended me to him and he had said “Allah recommended him”. That’s all I know.

This is a part of an interview with Vaziri Hamaneh, the former Petroleum Minister, published in the now-banned newspaper, Shargh, on December 2005 [Persian]. After Ahmadinejad fired Hamaneh, a short while ago, the Iranian blogger Mullah asks how he is going to explain that to Allah [Persian].

    It’s good to get some laughs, laughter is healthy. Is there a psychiatric explanation for Ahmadinejad’s odd behaviour, or is that considered “normal” ? Do some people actually think that way?

    I have an answer for this blogger: Ahmadinejad got another message from the above telling him that previous decision no longer apply ending in “Fire him, now.”
