Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, infamously known for denying the Holocaust and calling for the state of Israel to be “wiped off the map,” has been revealed to have Jewish family roots, reports Britain’s Daily Telegraph.
The discovery comes from analysis of a photograph of the Iranian president holding up his identity card during elections in March 2008. A close-up of the document reveals he was previously known as Sabourjian – a Jewish name meaning cloth weaver.
The Sabourjians traditionally hail from Aradan, Mr Ahmadinejad’s birthplace, and the name derives from “weaver of the Sabour”, the name for the Jewish Tallit shawl in Persia. The name is even on the list of reserved names for Iranian Jews compiled by Iran’s Ministry of the Interior. It is believed Ahmadinejad’s family changed their name after converting to Islam.
“This aspect of Mr. Ahmadinejad’s background explains a lot about him,” said Ali Nourizadeh, of the Centre for Arab and Iranian Studies. “Every family that converts into a different religion takes a new identity by condemning their old faith.”
Allegations of Ahmadinejad’s Jewish history have been floating around since Mehdi Khazali, the son of Ayatollah Khazali, called for an investigation into the Iranian president’s family origins on a blog. Khazali was later arrested amid protests of Ahmadinejad’s disputed re-election.
Iran is home to the largest population of Jews in the Middle East outside of Israel, reports the Daily Telegraph in a separate article.
Ron Gidor, a spokesman for the Iranian embassy in London, had no comment on the news.

What a ridiculous headline, "Ahmadinejad Is Jewish". The story in the British paper is incredibly weak. All they have is that his birth name is "Sabourjian" – something that's been fairly common knowledge for a while. As for this name, it's hardly exclusively Jewish. In fact, it sounds rather Armenian if anything.
Yep folks, Yahweh prophesied that they would be recognized by their "faces and actions".
In Isaiah 65:l5 He said: “Ye shall leave your name as a curse to My chosen, for Yahweh shall slay thee and call His servants by another name" (Christian)
And in Isaiah 3:9 He describes it thus: “The show of their countenance doth witness against them and they declare their sin as Sodom, they hide it not”.
They would be scattered, as wanderers and their conduct would keep them under attack.
This is a Zionist lie pushed by an Israeli owned rag.
Notice that whenever an enemy of Zionism steps forward, they are eventually branded as a "Jew" by the Jewish press. Slander and lies being pimped by a bunch of cowards who manipulate various sentiments so that the goyim go and die for them in wars.
NewsGuy should know better than to promote this crap.
And here's something else as well – IF IT IS INDEED TRUE OF COURSE.

Get outta here!! Did he have a Bar Mitzvah with a big reception at Leonard’s of Great Neck? Did he have a bris- a metzizah bi peh?
A real example of a self-hating Jew.
oi vey Mahmoud.
His last name was Sabourijan? That's odd, I thought it would have been Goldstein.
Funny, he doesn't look Jewish! Dr. Evil has big plans for the world and Parthia, and it has nothing to do with the Jews. That is just a ruse. He plans to bring back the Parthian and Sasnid Empires. He wants to avenge the loss of Persia's Empire to the Mongols and Alexander the Great.
@Dave siad: “As for this name, it’s hardly exclusively Jewish. In fact, it sounds rather Armenian if anything.”
There isn’t a single Armenian with that name, except Jewish Armenians. The Armenians and Iranians with that last name have first names like Abraham, Rebecca. It isd an exclusively Jewish name.
Moreover his grandparents all had Jewish first names! His own first name name was totally Jewish!
for him we should buy those BLOODY STAKES from those Christians in ROME.
or nails but make sure that they are sharp
I guess his first name means “carpet weaver.” Maybe he would have ended up owning a chain of fabric stores. His company catch phrase might have been “For bettuh you shouldn’t ask!”
Oh Morrie…you should be telling jokes in the Catskills.
If is it true that he is a jewish somebody should ask him to take a picture of his power part of the body to see if he was circumsized.
Nothing can happened to him until the Big Rabby is talking to him to see why he is so sick about denying his origin.
I understand his last name means “carpet weaver.” He could have owned a chain of fabric stores throughout Tehran. His advertising “shtick” could have been “For bettuh you shouldn’t ask!”
the world must use this information to wake him up to stop from killing his own people…he must be prevented by extreme guilt from trying to obliterate israel…the man must be pounded with extreme guilt to get him to withdrawl or WWIII will go down as nostradamus predicted..total obliteration
Stupid posts like this one are great food for the idiots out there. I can’t beleive you people. Especialy the Aryan fella. man you are seriously in need of help. You are the one with real issues pal. It is people like you and Achmajinidad ( how ever the hell you spell it) that are the real threat to peace in this world. Tell me, have you ever been into an orthodox synagogue? Have you ever read anything about Judaism ( not the crazy crap your freinds publish)? I would reccomend you visit http://www.chabad.org and take a look around. Take your time, look, read, listen for about an hour or two and maybe you will see that your point of view is a seriously distorted one. It is people like you who scare me the most, because I could be living on your street. People like you are the ones that draw swastikas on our houses, yell names at our young children while playing or walking to Shul, people like you who put fear and concern into our children. Why don’t you head on over to your local muslim neighbourhoods and do the same crap there. Because you are a coward and all those like you. Your ignorance will get the best of you one day.
God help us all.
Oy Vey

Iranians are very cool and desrve a better leader
Leonard…
… you know absolutely nothing, nada, zilch about me. I see the rag-head Islamos and skull-capped Zionists as 'cousins' (woven from the same cloth) And yes, I have visited many a library, attached to a synagogue, and spoke to many rabbis over a period of many years while I was busy studying Yahweh's Word and HiStory (checked against secular history and archeology) and came to the conclussions I have and express today.
I also don't belong to any religious, political and any other ideological group or sect. I'm simply a free-thinker who doesn't follow any person, including priests, ministers, pastors and rabbis if I don't believe that what they say is in accordance with the Bible.
So I suggest you take good note of the following: "A good rule in most discussions is that the first person to call the other a “Nazi” or a “Racist” automatically loses the argument”!!!
