Khamnei: "We are doubtful that Islamic terrorists even exist"

Iran Press News: Translation by Banafsheh Zand-Bonazzzi

Mullah Khamnei in a meeting with a gathering of the regime's functionaries, sarcastically claimed: "We are very doubtful of the existence of people who are supposedly followers of a backward form of Islam, who have no awareness and are confrontational with the world (bombing buses and metros).

He continued: "Do these groups and elements actually exist or are they in fact Americans, British or Israelis who do these things themselves? Our Islam relies on contemplation, logic, humanity, kindness, free-thinking, decency; the Islamic Republic of Iran aspires to these aims and slogans."
