Heh, you'd think if Ahmadinijad wanted to wipe the JEWS off the planet, he'd have started with his own 25,000. Do ya think? How is it that this fact goes unstated by anyone and everyone? Ah, I forgotsky, people just dumbsky or morally corruptsky. Hmm.

It is dawn in the Yusufabad synagogue in Tehran and Iranian Jews bring out the Torah and read the ancient text before making their way to work.
It is not a sight you would expect in a revolutionary Islamic state, but there are synagogues dotted all over Iran where Jews discreetly practise their religion.

"Because of our long history here we are tolerated," says Jewish community leader Unees Hammami, who organised the prayers.
He says the father of Iran's revolution, Imam Khomeini, recognised Jews as a religious minority that should be protected. As a result Jews have one representative in the Iranian parliament.

"Imam Khomeini made a distinction between Jews and Zionists and he supported us," says Mr Hammami.
