Had the US government reprimanded Jones in March 2011 when he first set fire to the Muslim holy book, he would not have repeated this heinous act again, Tehran’s interim Friday Prayers Leader Ayatollah Seyyed Ahmad Khatami said.
The senior Iranian cleric further criticized European countries for their silence on the incident.
“What was Europe’s reaction to this corrupt pastor? How is it that the Europe, which cannot tolerate any comments about the Holocaust, remains silent on the desecration of the [holy] book of one and a half billion Muslims?”
Ayatollah Khatami further addressed Iranian Majlis candidates and said, “The people expect [campaign] rivalries to turn into camaraderie after the elections.”
He added that the country’s most important issue is currently “national production,” and urged the Iranian better authorities pursue this cause.
