Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad defined his position of American dollar and gays, roundly criticizing the Europeans this week end, saying: “They are ignorant in politics and history.”

He also stated that European politicians vainly suppose that by banning minarets they will end the Islamic war. “They don’t get that it is not the minarets, that make people faithful, but their faith induces minarets’ construction.” This statement was made in connection with ban imposed on minarets in Switzerland. The issue was put to a referendum, resulting in 57% voters opposing the construction.

It is worth mentioning, that certain statements by Iranian president are prophetic, like in 2007 he forecasted American dollar’s fall calling currency a “worthless piece of paper.”
