Ahmadinejad is a controversial figure and one of the most outspoken leader of
Muslim countries that fight with US regarding
justice,
peace, and equality of the world that slowly dissapear nowadays. He was criticised by Western governments for his statements agreeing with Ruhollah Khomeini that Israel should be "wiped off the map", support of Hezbollah, and controversial comments he has made about the Holocaust and the legitimacy of Israel's existence.
Are you really serious when you say that Israel should be wiped off the face of the
earth?
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad "We need to look at the
scene in the Middle East—60 years of war, 60 years of displacement, 60 years of conflict, not even a day of
peace. We need to address and resolve the root problem."
